The Rhythm of Our Days

Television contributions

Sunshine actually learned something in a week of TV!

At dinner we were cutting the cake and two pieces were sticking together. She got frustrated and said, "Ugh! They are tesellating!"

"Huh?" said I.

"Duh Mom...Tesellating. Where two shapes come together without gaps or overlaps. You are an adult. You should know that!"

Ooops. Pardon me.

Also picked up was the word "symetrical". She's gone around in her best TV announcer voice and described different things she finds that are symetrical. Our house. Our faces. Our room arrangements.  And that gave us a good opprotunity to introduce asymetrical.

And "identical" came into play. All said in her best parody of a TV scientist.

Guess it wasn't a total wash after all :-)

Description
Labels don't fit. Not 'homeschooler", not "unschooler" not "classical educator". We are a family. We learn, we play, we read, we fight, we laugh, we struggle, and we discover together. We shun the calendar and packaged curriculum. You won't find a "teacher's guide" with a schedule making me it's slave within these walls. What you will find is a group of people, sometimes rough around the edges, digging in the dirt to grow things, reading books to expand our minds, paint up to our elbows, chickens in the yard, something simmering on the stove, and maybe tea on the front porch....this is a record of The Rhythm of Our Days. Living, Learning, Laughing, and Loving.
