~a month of unschool~ play learn

(posted june 2013)

~lego university!~ building a model ship (from a kit)~ drawing an awesome ewok birthday card for a friend who likes star wars almost as much as quinn does~

~academic stuff like discussing the spanish language over pancakes (he asked enough questions to make me get out the dictionary!)~ reading a non-fiction book, with rapt attention, about paleontology~ homeschool group visit to the aquarium to study seahorses and salamaders,  during which quinn was dressed as a seal~ making an easter card for mama (handwriting practice!)~ and plowing through bob books~

~playing! which is of course, his number one responsibility at his age, and it can’t help but involve learning~ monopoly (money!)~ chess (strategy!)~ kite flying (physics!) ~ building a k’nexasaurus rex (following instructions! motors! dinosaur locomotion!)

~more play on the beach, lots of it!~

~garden-y things like planting potatoes and wheat grass easter baskets~

 ~and just being an all-around inquisitive, thirsty-for-learning, interested, engaging guy~
