Colour Fun

We've been having fun on Pinterest, looking at colours. I scroll through various colour palettes, and have the kids point at the ones that jump out at them, or appeal to them. They have to choose quickly, without taking time to think about it. I pin each one they choose on their Pinterest board. When we're finished pinning, we go through the colours they've chosen and see what colour patterns and preferences emerge.

Here's a sample picture and a link to each of our boards:

Danica's Tidbits

Last night, we were watching one of the "Love Comes Softly" movies. The girl in the movie wanted to become a doctor. The name, Elizabeth Blackwell, was mentioned. Danica immediately said, "She was the first woman doctor!" I asked how she knew that, and she said she read about her in a Judy Moody book.

Earlier in the week, while watching an "American Girl" movie, the topic of the 'tea tax' came up. Danica already knew it was called the Boston Tea Party. She had watched a video about it on "Always Ice Cream."

I love this unschooling!
