If you haven't heard of, listened to or viewed anything from Brett Veinotte he has co-hosted with Laurette a few times on Unplugged Mom Radio - HERE - can be found on Podomatic - HERE - and many other locations which all can be found through his site - The School Sucks Project Education Evolution,
~~~ This is not a political advertisement by me in anyway! I am a proponent of the full message that is being said.

Back to lessons - Winter Session has begun and LOTS OF COLORS!!!
This week has felt really good, as we have gotten back into a flow and routine after the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. I think we are past the deschooling with DN and are in more of a see how it keeps going point. He is no where near independent, but is open to try anything I put in front of him and eager to learn. I think he has come to the realization that this could actually work.
DN was here at the beginning of the week and managed to get nearly all of his weekly work completed in just a day, which was rather impressive especially considering CJ was here. When we reviewed the History flash cards that they are both memorizing there was such pride in his eyes when he realized that although he hadn't touched them in a week, he remembered 10 out of the 11 cards almost verbatim!
KM has been wanting to spread out her lessons a bit more, so has been doing some in the evening and working on her drawings in the afternoon. KM is excited to be doing a poetry class utilizing Skype this session, she has taken online classes before, but this will be the first fully interactive one that she will be doing. We received the syllabus and I was impressed to see that she jumped right into it.
I have been doing a lot of reading the last few weeks and after finishing The Well Educated Mind decided to try out Susan Wise Bauer's process. I picked up Don Quixote from the library and was surprised to see KM flipping through it this morning. After some discussion about it and the intensity of it she said she thought it sounded interesting and would like to read it with me - I was SHOCKED, but very happy at the same time. I think we will enjoy reading this together and I think she appreciates that I am always continuing my education. I KNOW that we can learn a lot from each other.
As for the colors that were mentioned in the title...KM dyed her hair -
We also tried out the first tube from Test Tube Wonders
and it was rather interesting. Here is the video that we made -
Oh and my cat thought she would try to take over the world -
