After the success of the tin foil experiments, which are still in progress, they took the tin foil and started making sculptures with it. Philip made a hat, his first "invention" and a ball. Edward made a copy of the Dawn Treader and then a statue of Superman as a boy. That was about 10pm last night, and I haven't been into his room today to see what has been created since then.
This morning I read several unschooling blogs, as usual, and reminded myself that I believe in this method completely - most of the time. When I see the things other children are doing in traditional school settings, I panic a little, but usually manage to remember that my children are busy processing in a different way, not marching to the "testing" drum.
Don't take this the wrong way, but it is good to know that you "panic a little too". I think we all constantly wonder if we are doing it "right" as we educate our children. I look forward to reading more about your experiences...just another way for you to inspire me:) Which you do!
