This edition had 24 participants and 32 submissions. Click on the blog links, stop by and say hello to your fellow...

What unschooling ‘looks" like.

This month I asked the participants of Unschooling Voices to share pictures of what unschooling currently “looks” like in their family. To me…unschooling is about having the time and freedom to express yourself and follow your heart. That’s what these pictures reflect. Jacqueline (front) and Shawna play with a rotten egg. Why? Because it’s gooey and fun. Shawna (left-age 11) and Jacqueline (age...

Use what ever method you want, for example you can use each letter like “U is for…N is for..”or you can have each letter start a new sentence or paragraph or try writing an acronym.
