Pancakes are made. Three children sitting around the table, and I with my pen and paper to write it all down.
It is a long standing tradition of making a list of what we want to do during the summer.. There are usually way many more things to do than there are days of summer,but that doesn't matter. Dreamin's free so dream big. The intention is always the same, however, and that is to make sure that we do not say goodbye to summer feeling that we haven't "lived it well."
This year's list contains the usual hiking, biking, swimming.
Book Jumping (More on this later)
And..........The Big Project.
There is always the "Big Project". Remember last years big project? One of the requirements for the project is that is takes more than one person to pull it off.....usually a whole village. It's learning how to work in a team and be inspired by the group. This year we were greatly inspired by the box car over at Wisecraft and the Buffy Porson.
Luckily, we ran into a copy of this great book at our used bookstore. It's fate!:) The dreaming has begun, modifications are being made, supply lists be written,helpers being contacted.In our spare time we have named our new creation to be "The Little Red Ride". There have been many drawings fashioned and drawn for us to model our car after. Some of us are so excited we can't even sleep.
We are happy to be participating in This Vintage Chica's Summer Unschool this summer. For us the most important thing about "Unschooling" is the idea that the kids direct and choose their "learning" experiences . We are so happy to be sharing this journey with so many wonderful blogging families.
Welcome to the first days of Summer!!!!!!
