I've read a lot of great things about unschooling and I see so many possibilities in it, but I'm not ready to jump in with both feet. This year I'm trying something new where we unschool on Wednesdays. That means instead Khan Academy or writing, we meet in the morning to make a plan for the day that includes things the kids are really interested in learning. Today Davey has spent all morning experimenting with video editing (he already realized it is much more difficult than he thought), the littles have been working on murals (drawn on big paper), and Jake is making our lunch (although along the way he started a load of laundry and washed our big pot). I'm glad we don't do this everyday, it's exhausting! But the kids are having fun and learning what they're interested in, and it's a nice break from our regular schedule.
