COOL STUFF FROM TODAY’S “CLASS”:

---

• Met a long time friend at the beach. Found out he’s married now and has a baby on the way. He’s interested in talking more about unschooling together, as he, like me, questions and is opppsed to traditional, force-based educational methods/models.

• Met two guys from the states on vacation here in Japan. One is into voluntarily organized collectives and the other a doctor fresh out of med school. They played with Z-bee (my son) and we had a nice chat. I told them about Steemit and we shared contact info.

• A couple came with their dog who loved to swim! Isaiah was able to throw the stick for the doggo who then promptly fetched it for him.

I’m really grateful for this time I can spend with my son. There’s tons to do, and tons to explore!
Today we also talked about the word “translucent,” and broke down the word:

trans - “through” or “across”
lucent - Having to do with light.

Somehow we had gotten on the topic of his idea for a “ham diamond” which is a “200% nutritious” gemstone made of ham which is also “clear pink.” 😆

I taught Z-bee the word “translucent” as related to the “ham gem” and he seemed pretty into that, and repeated it.
