Scedule this year

So unschoolers and schedules don't mix. But like i said we are moving towards an unschooling way of life, we aren't there yet.
Sop the schedule is like this before 9:30am there's normal everyday chores to do. Get dressed, eat, take out compost, tidy room. that would be done every morning even if he went to regular school.
From 10:00-11:00 he does math....That can be anything. Internet games, workbooks, manipulative's, whatever...as long as its math related. If wants to walk around with a tape measure and measure stuff....go for it.

From 11:00-11:30 its dictation. ALL the homeschool moms I've talked to, every one, says writing is the biggest challenge when they hit high school so he copies out a bird book in his book in his best printing and then he types it out on the computer.

11:30-12:00- Computer Chess Time- He plays in tournaments so he wants to keep sharp and I am no competition for him.

Shakespeare In The Park

Today he did a read through of Macbeth for drama club. We went early and played for awhile. Got to have a great talk with my ultra crunchy locavore galpal Jen about all stuff eco.
The read through wen tfine. N doesn't really care for acting, but he loves palying before an dafter drama with his friends so he puts up with drama, the drawback of this is thaqt I get stuck wioth some HUGE job to do for the presentation...

This time around...Stage Manager....sigh...

LEGO Robotics

So today was the kick-off for our Jr. FLL team.
We found our challenge for the 2009 year Smart Moves. The team has to pick an object and find out all the modes of transportation it takes to get it from nothing to us here at home.

We have 2 new boys this year and full team of 6. It looks like a great team and we are really going to focus on Gracious professionalism. They WILL be Gracious Professionalism...
