Sharing what my kids are learning this year

I'm hoping to have more time to blog about what my kids are learning about this year and what they are busy with. Today we went to the home school book store. I let them look around the store and decide what THEY wanted to learn about.  I think it makes it easier and more fun  if the girls choose there own subjects to learn about and by the time they "graduate" we will have covered "what they need to know" but not in the order that society says kids have to learn it.  I'm not a scope an sequence kinda girl but that's just me.. Now I think scope and sequence is different when it comes to  Math , but that's my only exception.  The girls will pick a subject and then they will do a Unit study on it but not always a formal unit study.  I found a unit study about the Titanic online at a site  http://www.homeschoolhelper.com/ .  That will be their first Unit study starting next week.  Josiah of course will be learning separate from them most of the time. His first unit study will be Planes, Trains , Automobiles, and Boats.  He loves paper airplanes. I bought him a book on how to make different paper airplanes so that will be fun for us. This week I will be doing some cleaning and organizing to get ready for "school" or in our case unschooling.  IF you haven't read my blog on unschooling  then read it for more info.
