Recess

thoughts from my homeschool

29 Sep

20100113_1816
When I was a child, my favorite portion of the day was not recess.  It was, instead, reading.  I would have preferred to stay in the school library than go out to the playground where other girls skillfully jump-roped while I pretended to perpetually tie my shoe.  What I loved most about recess was hearing the bell sound for school to begin again.   

Now that I’m a homeschooling mom, recess is my favorite ‘subject’.  Although it’s good enough to let the kids stretch, visit, and soak in Vitamin D, we’ll often linger outside, so I’ll mix a little bit of nature study or biology class or p.e. class into it.  As the Co-Chief in Charge of All Familial Things, I can make recess what I want:  always fun, always an adventure, and never ever including jump rope.  The photo above is of our children enjoying recess the way we like to enjoy it.

Freely Educate is written for those, like our family, who don't want the box. There are many places for "box-thinkers" to go. This place is for those who think outside the box. I hope to give you affirmation and advice on bravely choosing to educate creatively and individually. - Lori Seaborg
