Mondays
October 23rd, 2006 at 12:58 pm (Unschooling Life)
Kenzie’s excitedly gathering books, cards, Gameboy games, small Pokemon toys, and snacks, and getting ready for game day - just like he does every Monday. It’s his favorite part of the week. He gets to spend several hours with other homeschoolers talking about his favorite subjects: Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh. They duel, talk strategy, trade, battle each other over various Gameboys, pull out the occasional board game now and then, and generally have a blast. I love that there’s no set schedule or gameplan; kids of all ages just show up and have fun!
We usually end up bumming around the city a bit afterward, so we don’t get caught in city-to-suburbs rush hour traffic (a nightmare around here). There are several thrift stores close, and a Half Price Books, so we can always find something enjoyable to do.
Ah, Mondays - our favorite day of the week!
