Its been awhile...

well its been some time since i have been on here and posted anything.. sorry guys for not keeping things more updated.. i have just been so busy lately with the daycare and figuring out the best way for my son to learn..
I have been really struggling with this and trying so hard to find what will work great for us.. i really want him to have this love of learning and not be stressed out about it. i love that he is so curious about things.. but i have also learned that if i push him too much he just pulls back and that anything too structured really stresses him out and he just shuts down.. that doesn't help anything and he doesn't learn anything and we both end up flustered.. so we have taken a long break and have not done much.. he is starting to relax and i like that.. what we have been doing lately is some reading work on www.readingkingdom.com he likes that.. its like a game to him...

so, i am thinking of switching gears again.. but at the same time i feel bad to keep switching gears.. is it gonna hurt him to keep changing?? but i just want to find what works best for us and really it is just 1st grade.. we still have lots of time... lol
i am so intrigued by the idea of unschooling. i am so looking into it.. i am just worried that if i don't "sit him down" for "school" time that he will do nothing.. if i leave his days to him, he will sleep in, watch cartoons wander in for breakfast then maybe some ds gaming or beyblading.. more cartoons or even cartoons and beyblading at the same time... then maybe some wii time.. oh and if the weather is remotely nice he will be outside on his scooter till he gets bored.. then back in, toys, tv, gaming... oh and throw some snacks in there too and he is a very happy camper.. but.....i know you learn from everyday activities, but what about math?? learning to read??  and as he gets older, what about social studies and science?? how do they learn these things naturally without any formal teaching??  i have so many questions and will be spending some time researching and hoping to learn all about it.. please share any info  you may  have... 
I am also so excited for the end of May!!  I am going to an Unschooling Conference!!  woo hoo!! 
here is a link to the conference i am attending...  i am so excited

 Life is Good Conference

I've been invited to try Time4Learning for a month in exchange for a candid review. Their online program can be used for homeschool, as an after school tutorial and for summer learning. My opinion will be my own, so come back and read about my experience. You can write your own curriculum review, too!
