Goals for the Week

Dec 7th, 2009 by Alicia

Some big, some little…

Find the hydrogen peroxide page again so I can write up that experiment and explain it properly.
Do this craft with the kiddos.
Get the ingredients to make sugar plums.
Do lots of these.
Finish at least one educational DVD we have out and either The Witch of Blackbird Pond or Wright on Time with the kids.
Do Christmas factor trees.
Teach Victoria short division and give Anna more to do (she asks for it!).
Do sit-ups or some form of real exercise every day. Involve the kids and make it fun.
Read more to the boys.
Decorate, decorate, decorate. (And unfortunately clean, clean, clean.)
Finish several thousand homemade holiday cards.
Write our family letter.
Make up the card list and address envelopes.
Scan Victoria’s invention for the Dream Gadget Contest.
Remember this week to take my vitamins and SAMe (SAMe keeps me SANE!).
Laugh and live in the moment, even the crazy-making ones.

I just wanted to thank you for all the wonderful ideas! We are new to unschooling and have found your blog very useful and full of wonderful ideas for us to do together!

Aw thanks, Tera! I’m not sure you should use me for a model for unschooling though. I’ve been kicked off two unschooling lists for not being unschooly enough!

Wow – you’re busy! Most looked doable to me until I read that you are making your own holiday cards. Now THAT is ambitious!

Wright on Time is on my ‘goals’ list too!
Good luck with all of yours…
and because I know that you won’t laugh at a grown-up for asking what will undoubtedly end up being a silly question, what is a Christmas factor tree?

Karen, it’s just factor trees (search for a few links of factor tree games and explanations online, I know I posted some a while back), only we’re going to do them on green construction paper tree shapes. I’ll post pics when we do them.

I guess I did not know you could be not “unschooly” enough…that’s funny! I like the way you seem to do things and find it interesting when people have to think their “way” is the only way. We love child and parent led learning around our house and have a style that is our own, maybe we would not be “unschooly” enough either, but we are happy and we enjoy your ideas! Thank you.
