Unschooling Seneca
June 2, 2014 - Seneca saw a chemistry kit at Michael's, so we bought it. We did the first few lessons in the kit on the 3 stages of matter. Seneca also played at the park and told me about how bees pollinate flowers - something she learned on Wild Kratts. She read some of the lesson instructions i the Chemistry book and learned to read the word chemistry. That sparked a conversation about how sometimes - but not often - ch can make a "k" sound.
June 5, 2014 - Seneca copied a math problem she saw on a tv movie. I made fraction strips to show her that 4/6 =2/3. We went to books-a-million and sat outside doing math practice including 5+3 = 4+4. I gave her some similar problems and she did well. I gave her 6+3 and she came up with 3+3+3. Seneca also chose out a 48 piece puzzle. Seneca came across her new writing notebook and practiced the printed letter A,a. A new book arrived and she asked me to read the first half of it to her. It was a biography of Augusta Savage. Co-op Day: Found and held a frog, swimming in the pond, sprinkler play, time with her friends, and washing Daisy the horse. Wild Kratts: Flight of the Draco (lizard)
June 12, 2014- wet-felting craft class, pool day with grandpa and cousins, and read Aesop's The Sun and The Wind in Reading Primer. She also found a kids' exercise video online and worked out to that.
June 15, 2014 - Classical Indian Dance class in the morning. Kids Yoga class in the afternoon.
June 18, 2014- Scrabble with cousin Ashlynn and Great-Grandma. Seneca's scrabble words were rock, bad, me, and write. Math: Seneca learned how to multiply by one.
June 19, 2014 - a wading hike at Rye Preserve. Mad Science at Palmetto library.
June 23, 2014 - I read One Grain of Rice by Demi to Seneca. Wild Kratts: Monkey
June 24, 2014- Seneca asked where her Red Math workbook was. I showed it to her and she started to work in it on fractions. Seneca decided that she wanted to play Spelling Bee, so she asked her brother and I to give her words to spell. And, Beach Day!
June 25, 2014 - Seneca did some more work on fractions in her math workbook. She read a few pages in Frog and Toad All Year. She also went to a friend's house to play for a few hours.
June 26, 2014 - Seneca decided that she wanted to paint, so she did some free painting.
June 28, 2014 - Seneca wanted to review rhyming words, so we did that for a little while.
July 1, 2014 - Seneca examined some rocks of hers. She named them according to their characteristics. Then, she used the rocks to play math. She had also been playing some imaginative games with the rocks. She asked me to read Dream Snow by Eric Carle to her.
July 6, 2014- Classical Indian Dance class. Math drill review of counting by 4s at Seneca's request.
July 7, 2014 - Beach coop! Jump rope, knitting, child-led puppet show, and playtime
