Gifted Development Center - Homeschooling

Wikipedia

Main Page - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -- I've heard about this but never checked into it before. Very interesting.

A Day in Our Lives

A Day in Our Lives -- I just discovered this unschooling blog. It's from Joanne who commented on my last post. Posting every day is something I'd like to do, too, but don't usually think of when I'm able to be in front of a computer. If I would just remember that email feature of blogspot, then I could blog an email on my pda and it would post when I hotsync. Gotta remember that. :-)

Landscape

Landscape -- after reading a great post on unschoolingbasics about cool backyard ideas, I followed a link and found this great article about unschooling as a landscape (both figuratively and literally). That's how I want to live!

Leave No Gifted Child Behind

Leave No Gifted Child Behind -- an article reminding me of one more reason that I should homeschool my boys.

A few days ago, when DS2 was excitedly telling the tv "sea turtle", I asked DH if he could tell which of our boys was smarter. I don't know, but I suspect they both would be "off the charts" if they took IQ or similar tests.
