Break?

  Right now it is officially "summer break".  Although, being a mother and a home schooler, I still try to find many times and ways to continue to teach my children.  Some times those ways are the best.  Some of my children learn better when I teach that way.  So whenever there is a teaching moment, I try to take that moment.  Even while we are outside playing with chalk, or ball.  There is always a time to teach.
  So really, we shouldn't really have a break from school.  Being my kids teacher, I do like to give myself that break. But with unschooling it definitely works out, that I'm still teaching them but I'm also getting a little bit of a break this summer.

  Next week we will be going to Vegas and St. George for a little family vacation.  I hope to have many teaching moments while were there.  We'll also be there for Denver Snuffers lectures.  Maybe we could listen to the talks and teach our children as well.  I'd like to take them to the talks but with how young they all are I don't think they'll sit very long at all.   We'll see how it goes.
