The weather was just too wild for me to venture out today so I had to break it to Savanna gently that we would be missing gymnastics. To cushion the blow I whipped out the Magic Tree kit I had purchased a month ago at the Dollarama. Unfortunately it didn't do too much before her bedtime but it looks like it will be in full bloom by tomorrow morning.
Savanna has been excited to work in her erasable work book she had given to her last week. It never fails to amaze me how much better she does when I don't try to teach her. That's right-it is far more frustrating to try and make her learn something as opposed to waiting until she wants to learn it. I'm beginning to see how unschooling really works. I fully believe that it needs to be relevant and of interest to the child otherwise you might as well be flogging a dead horse. Given the chance, children will happily learn but at their own pace.
