LEARNING FROM DRAGONS - a simple unschooling tip to homeschool without curriculum

How do unschoolers learn without curriculum? Let’s use Appreciate a Dragon Day as a real-life example of how learning happens naturally — without lesson plans, worksheets, or pressure. January 16th is Appreciate a Dragon Day, and while it might sound like a silly or random holiday, days like this show exactly how unschooling works in real life: learning through curiosity, play, conversation, and everyday interests. Something as simple as dragons can lead to learning across traditional subjects — including language arts, math, science, social studies, art, and critical thinking — without assigning a single lesson. When parents first start unschooling, one of the biggest questions is: “But how will they learn everything without curriculum?” This video offers a real-life answer. Using Appreciate a Dragon Day as an example, we look at how everyday interests can naturally lead to learning across traditional subject areas — without forcing activities or creating lesson plans. Yes! This counts! You’ll see how curiosity around something playful like dragons can spark: language arts through storytelling and conversation math through estimation, scale, and problem-solving science through questions about biology and flight social studies through myths, cultures, and history art, music, and creativity through hands-on exploration critical thinking through discussion and debate Not every interest turns into a deep dive — and it doesn’t have to. Unschooling works because learning doesn’t need to look the same every day to be meaningful. This episode is especially helpful if you’re: new to unschooling transitioning from traditional homeschooling worried about learning gaps feeling burned out by planning trying to understand what unschooling actually looks like It's all about noticing learning as it’s already happening! ________________ If you’d like daily curiosity prompts like Appreciate a Dragon Day already picked out for you, the Strewing Calendar is designed to help you notice learning everywhere — without planning, pressure, or curriculum.
