Unschooling is working already!

Wow! This morning dd was working on her watercolor painting and made a card for my niece whose birthday is on Saturday. She asked me how to spell her name and set to work painting all the letters of my niece's long name!!! I never sat down and showed her how to write letters, she just picked that up somehow. Pretty neat.

It is amazing what they will pick up on their own--and as they are interested

It is so neat to see that kind of learning take place, isn't it?

The other day my dd wrote the numbers 1-100 on our white board and had such a good time doing it. I'm not sure where she picked up all those numbers above 20, because we've nevery formally worked on them.

And she never would have wanted to do that if it is was something I assigned her to do.

That is great. Thanks for sharing. I am journeying toward unschooling and this is encouraging.

Blessings,
Mary
