To Fall or Not to Fall in the Fall, Y’all
Their First Real MUni Ride (Mountain Unicycling) She’s been on one of these trails before, but very briefly, noobily, and quite uninterested in finding another trail – her unicycle passion was the asphalt paths and empty strip mall parking lots, so that’s what we did instead, with me learning all sorts of new riding skills […]
Homeschool : Where You Can Hit Your Students With Bats

When Things Don’t Go According To Plan
There were several great examples of unschooling here. We went to our local dam to check it out. What would they be interested I wondered; water levels? water pressure? lake/river transition? Height? Cement and steel? I figured I’d show it to them from the road up top, and then drive them down the road to see it from the bottom.
A Walking Stick For Climbing in the Forest?
The toddler must have seen walking sticks on youtube or something. During one of her hill climbs, she picked it up and started using it like it would help her 🙂
It’s funny, she knows not to throw sticks, to play with sticks, and to run with sticks.
Preparing for unPreschool: Insects-Ed
Insects-Ed! Hahahha! Well anyways, kids love learning about the things they love. Kids love bugs. Unless they are taught not to 🙂
