Announcements, notes and transcripts of Sandra Dodd's unschooling chats
Think of tie-ins between art and history, politics, music, materials, relationships, manufacturing, shipping, sales, food, hair, clothing, automotive sales, manufacture, presentation, restoration, paint jobs, furniture, appliances, dishes, carpet/curtains/upholstery, beds and bedding.... Pages 84, 85 Big Book of Unschooling!
Last week's chat was the first for a couple of months (I was in Europe) but now I'm home. The transcript of last week's chat is here: Wonder
Here's some music I saw in Lyon, France. I used a photo of the band for Just Add Light the other day: Get Witnesses
I guess it's kind of acoustic street punk ska something. Kids were dancing behind them, too.
Here was another recent music-related Just Add Light: Too much of "too much"
The topic of this Wednesday's unschooling chat will be Wonder.
http://sandradodd.com/wonder has some inspiring reminders, and if you have time to read it, there is a new link there to an very brief article on awe.
Noon my time, 7:00 p.m. in England, various other times in other places, though we should all try to be there for the same two hours. :-)
UNRELATED TO AWE: Tuesday is Learn Nothing Day.
The link from Deb came in a small discussion of this photo, which I had posted in the wrong place. (Link to that below.)

Still, some chat (for you, if you want) and some fish and chips (for me, and maybe for some of you).
Wednesday, a special deal before I start travelling again (to The Netherlands Wednesday the 27th, and back to the UK July 4 which is also a Wednesday).
GRATUITOUS PHOTO:
Little red Corvette, Arizona plates, on a children's ride at a lakeside park in Switzerland.
If things continue as they are this week, I should be able to be in the chatroom Wednesday. Noon at my house is 7:00 UK. Julie will deliver Adam to Beaver Scouts and bring fish'n'chips back for them to watch the England/Ukaraine game. My part in all that is just to stay out of the way and help eat the fish. I can do that.
I have some thing on my blog to read if you're bored. http://sandradodd.blogspot.com If you're reading this by e-mail and you need a path to the chatroom, click on the title to get to the blog, which has a tab up to the left with the link and password.

The chatroom can be used anytime by any group of unschoolers who want to go in there. And if people want to keep the Wednesday routine, please feel free to show up there! I won't be there for a while, though, because...
I'll be in airplanes every Wednesday for a month straight.
July 18, a Wednesday, I'm returning to Albuquerque.
July 25 I'll try to be in the chatroom, on time, and without a topic from the book. We can talk then about chats, and the summer, and what people have been doing.
