I've now joined another homeschooling community, this one geared more towards the unschooling side of things. I've been thinking about unschooling and growing more and more to like it. Over the summer, I felt myself relax and really open my mind to unschooling. I'm not there yet, but I feel I've crossed the middle line and lean more towards unschooling than not. We are still planning using our math books, and will begin with a handwriting and spelling curriculum. I still like the idea of thematic units. The kids will begin music, swim and circus classes. Sounds very structured and the opposite of unschooling, but it feels more unschooling to me. We tossed all our workbooks over summer, and dropped a few classes to make room for a more relaxed time.
This new community we have joined hosted a "Not Back to School" picnic for the families. We had a great time joining in and meeting new people.
