Brenda and Bret earned enough arcade tickets after skating yesterday to get a couple yoyos. They have been yoyoing for the last day! Bret told them he would buy them a better one to learn some tricks. Brenda went on youtube and checked out a bunch of yoyo maniacs and all their tricks. Learning? Yup I think so.
While we were waiting for Brenda's dance class yesterday, there were some girls there playing with Bret. I guess they asked Bret if she went to the local grade school. She told them she was homeschooled. This one girl (merely curious) started asking Bret questions. What do you do? Do you do homework? "No pretty much I play and watch tv". Do you have to take tests? "No. I just play." Little Bret and I talked later about how she DOES do work, she just doesn't feel like it is work, because there is no pressure on her to do it. She DOES do worksheets, but they are a novelty in our house because they are not required. We made rock candy to learn about crystals this week. She recently learnred to read. We watched Stand By Me then downloaded a bunch of Buddy Holly music to dance to. After that I thought to borrow the Buddy Holly movie or LaBamba from the library to go with their history/music lesson. This is just an example of one of the directions we are heading in this week. She is learning. They are all. How can they not? Everything is a lesson.
Funny.
