First Day of Un-School

LOL! Ok ok... so we aren't following the Unschooling Method very well yet today... but hey! No one's perfect! (tee hee)

So far today Cody has:
* Cleaned his room in the house (living room) and done his chores
* Dressed & breakfast, as well as got the other kids out of bed, Emma off to school and got Caleb dressed! (And I got a shower because of it! Thanks Bubba!)
* 2 pages of Math - Place values & a dice game
* He has read to me his story he had been working on at school (wow! I have an amazing detail writer on my hands! And his reading abilities are phenomenal! I was entranced while he was reading!) and now he is writing the next chapter! :)

We have covered: reading, writing, math, grammar, problem solving (he has been worried about his pencil box being left at school and he shared all the ways he thought of to get it back (ie; asking different friends etc). WAHOO! It's not even 11 am! *giggle*

We were planning on a big library trip today & possibly a trip to DI for a book explore, as well as creating our daily logs and getting our timeline/Goals set up - but Cam is home sick (again!) and my computer is still at the shop! So were are improvising today. :)

Our next project: He wants to start his research on how coal is turned into energy. Science here we come!
