Festivities!

It is closer and closer to the holidays, some have already begun, and others are only a matter of days away. At this point I would like to direct your attention to the corresponding facebook page, to this blog, whatever for? Because with the amount of unschooling that takes place in our home, particularly as the boys mature, and I learn more about being a teacher.. this place (here) is where I share meme's, homework activities, crafts, and overall philosophical goodies that truly define what homeschooling means to us, right NOW.

Gift of Curiosty is my go-to stop for free printables that are so well done, I recommend them to everyone. If it works for two different boys on the autism spectrum, there can't be many kids it won't appeal to!

This is an example of the basic language and logic skill sheets.

This is an example of the fine motor, cutting with scissors activities.

With our weekly trips to the library for books and primarily educational videos, with seasonal shows in between, we sure have been learning daily about science, social studies, and culture. 

So with that, I would like to remind anyone who is facing questions from themselves or others.. .
