I'm an Unschooling mom in Las Vegas, NV. I have all boys! A 14 yr old, a 6 yr old, a 1 yr old and 2 teenage stepsons.
4 of the 5 have some special need or another, and the 5th would be termed "gifted" if he was in school. They all have their own interests and abilities.
Join me as I blog about our Christ-led learning approach..things that work, things that don't, and the antics of family life!
Yes, I've finally uploads some of the millions of photos I've taken.....here we are at a field trip to Tandy Leather Factory. It was pretty cool. The store smelled wonderful!! They showed us all sorts of different hides, and belts, and accessories. Then the children each got to pound their own designs into a piece of leather. Finally, they each made a magic wallet, also pounded with whatever they chose. It was very unique!
Here's Elias spraying the leather with water to slightly dampen it before creating his masterpiece.
Well, Brian would deem this is a very appropriate picture..not of his face!
Amazingly, this was our first time doing this fieldtrip. It was a good experience. Always on the lookout for neat things.
I just stumbled across your blog and am very interested in the planner that you advertise. Where can I get one of these? Also, in the Unschooling book, does it address the task of documentation for high school? Right now I'm just writing down, on a homemade form, everything my 10th grader does. When we were doing formal studies I had a great record keeping system. Now I'm a little confused how to get the weekly record sheets, which have a little of everything on them, down onto a record sheet. I need help in this area. Does the book cover that or the planner? Thanks for your help!
