Loads of Good Learning Days

I want to group the posts on "A Good Day of Learning" into one, so please excuse the redundancy of these links. Feel free to mutter, "She's talking to herself again...."

The "Good Day of Learning" posts started here, with Theresa at Lapaz Farm Home Learning.
Then I added my two cents' worth here and here.
The always-eloquent-and-thinking Willa chimed in here.
And Lissa, who had been inspiring us with her posts about Waldorf methods added a bit more to the subject here.


Melanie very sensibly pointed us to Suzanne's Inch-by-Inch post here.

And, Melanie's own thought (even though she wrongly discounts herself as not having any thoughts on the subject), in this post, is spot on:

For me a good day is one when I put my own needs and desires aside and get down on the floor and laugh with Bella. For Bella learning happens naturally as breathing and painfully as the dozen times a day she falls and screams. I hope that learning will continue to be as natural and beautiful but that we can keep the bumping and screaming to a minimum.

Yes! That's my goal as well, even though my kids are now 13, 10 and 4. Natural, beautiful, and with minimal bumping and screaming. (You're a natural at this homeschooling stuff, Melanie.)
