- Sandis love, love, loves watching nature/science shows. History of a national park, how to build a bridge, life cycle of a honey bee...she's in!
- Both girls decided to go outside and collect leaves. They then made rubbings of the leaves affixing the leaves next to the rubbings in a book of their own making.
- Math is second nature to them. They are constantly figuring out how much it would cost to get 4 ears of corn for our family for dinner. What percent of their allowance they need to save for how long to buy X. It's fun to see
- Reading. Ok, the summer library reading program has turned this into a time thing for them that is driving me CRAZY, but even without that, they love to read (see prev posts)
- Their in-depth knowledge of how to care for the hamster, the bettas and the corn earworm. Once a pet enters the house, they research it intensely and then explain how we must care for it, until you want to scream. But, you don't scream, you admire the enthusiasm ;)
- Cooking, they both love it.
- They are constantly writing books, restaurant menus, their stuffed toy's interests and many other things. I do wish their hand writing improved a bit more and that they would write paragraphs too, but they are getting there.
- Being active - they are constantly outside jumping on the trampoline, riding their bikes, running around. I'm so glad they like doing that and I don't have to force them away from their computers/tv.
I'm ever hopeful that the chaos that is created
by homeschooling two girls will end soon...

While I do make the girls do some school work, they manage to learn and do things on their own constantly. Some of their unschooling:
