We make almost weekly trips to the library throughout the year. We leave with a lot, and I mean a lot, of books to peruse, read, share, discuss, and enjoy. The books come from all sections of the library and we've been known to disappear into those books for the next few days. I thought I'd share our current list of books just to show our family's interests. Yes, all of us, because you never stop learning and besides, its fun.

I love library days. They are so much fun, very relaxing, and we also bring home tons of books. Looks like you have some wonderful adventures awaiting you! It's ironic that you brought this up. Just this morning, I was talking with a friend who has a daycare. Around a year ago, she was telling me that she wants to implement a class-room setting in the children's days. I was telling her back then that the best thing to implement is play-based learning. Then a couple of months ago, I told her to even do some research on Motessori if she is wanting more structure than we do with unschooling. I just talked with her today. She is now working toward a degree in early childhood education. She explained that all of her studies recommend play-based, hands-on learning. She said they even mentioned Montessori. I told her another one to look into is Waldorf. She said that her books also mentioned that. She said they advocate following a child's interests. She said she had to call her mom, who implements workbooks and paper work (and then says she cannot keep the kids' attention) into her daycare. Now if people would just realize it works for all ages of children!
