Unschooling- Life is Learning or what you can learn from organizing a slumber party!
This year we have begun to have a lot of sleepovers at our house. It is a great way for them to socialize and have fun and to get to know their friends better. One great thing about homeschooling is sleepovers are not limited to weekends. One of my daughter’s friend is moving away in a few weeks and she wants to do something special- so she is organizing her first slumber party. I have left her to it on her own with as little involvement as possible.
She has :
-gathered names and phone numbers in a “book”
-Looked at calender and days available.
-Made phone calls
-Hand written her own invitations and decorated with hand-stamping and embossing kit ( I encourage her to use these as often as i can-this was another of my craft projects that went wildly out of control- but that’s another post)
She will also expand her skills by planning a menu and writing out a shopping list. I will give her a budget to work with. There has been great debate over what movies are “just right” I would love to hear ideas for great movies for slumber party for girls 8-11 years old. So far on my list for her to check out is “Mean Girls“. “The Goonies“ , “The Princess Diaries” We are still working on menu and and other slumber party stuff. Will break out the nail polish, etc. Please post comments and suggestions !
