A Little Taste of Unschooling

A & As' newest interest...

One of the many reasons why I love homeschooling is because the girls haven't learned to think it "uncool" to learn about things. In museums they actually read signs and ask questions. 

To them, that's what's "cool".

Our New Toy

Inspired by Play At Home Mom I've been wanting to make a light box for the girls for awhile. However, it was just a want... everyone has many... and I didn't really think I'd get to it. Well, it so happens that John and I have been updating our home. Our home is older and has older fixtures such as this light........ 

We took this down and replaced it with a chandelier (this light was over our dining room table) and I put it in the garage, intending to throw it or donate it.

Until inspiration struck!

 So we took it apart....

 We added 12 inch lights (3 not 2)

TA DA!!!  This table is extremely bright!

 I took this picture in a dark room... this table lights everything up!

The girls quickly figured out that they could use it as a tracing table. 

A definite HIT!

What Aidan is Reading

This is all I can remember her reading this week. I don't really keep track because some days she sits and reads book after book. She chooses anything and everything. The only consistency she has is that she does tend to favor mysteries.
