Vicarious globetrotting

Nearly five years ago we planted a Trackable in a geocache near our home in San Diego. Since then, we’ve watched it travel back and forth across the United States, with jaunts to Honduras, Belize, and the Cayman Islands. Today we got a notice that it is currently in Ulster, Ireland. New life goal: to travel like my trackable.

Melissa Wiley on Notice your secret wishes, write them down: “It’s making me aware of just how impulse-driven the internet has made me! Shiny new objects/classes/books/ideas/systems at every turn! Eek.”
Melissa Wiley on Notice your secret wishes, write them down: “I need to add “impulses” to that flyleaf note when I move it to the next notebook. Which is satisfyingly…”
Kortney on November: “Love all these leaves. Especially the pile you stitched together!”

In 2006, a year after I began this blog, I coined the term Tidal Homeschooling to describe my family’s homeschooling style, an ebb and flow of
high tide (planned, Charlotte Mason-ish) and low tide (unschoolish, delight directed) learning. You’ll sometimes see me call it Tidal Learning. Seventeen years later (and counting), the metaphor still works. At the time of this writing (January 2023), I’m enjoying tidal homeschooling with Huck and Rilla, my two youngest, now in their teens.

If you’d like to read more about tidal homeschooling, there are a bunch of posts at this link.
