Dyscalculia Day: The Math Dyslexia
Today is Dyscalculia Day. Do you know what dyscalculia is? Do you know someone who struggles with math, numbers, order of operations, directions, locations, or even learning music, for instance?
From The Dyscalculia Forum:
The Basic Facts
You Can Do It If You Want To!
Dyscalculia, or math disorder, is recognized by both the World Health Organization and is in the DSM-IV. It is officially a learning disability and anyone, as long as they know about it, can seek the help they need. That is why I am sharing this information today. I am dyscalculic. I was diagnosed while attending my first year of college in 1990. While I always knew my brain worked differently than other people's brains did, having the validation that came with a recognized diagnosis, would have saved me years and years of torment, pain and ridicule in my academic years. Had my teachers or family known that dyscalculia was real and not just in my head, I might have been able to get the help I needed and learning would have been better supported. Please share information about dyscalculia with others, you never know who might be helped.

From The Dyscalculia Forum:
The Basic Facts
Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability in mathematics. Dyscalculia is a word you use to describe when people have significant problems with numbers - but still have a normal or above normal IQ. It seems that no dyscalculic has problems with math alone, but also struggle with problems being able to learn to tell time, left/right orientation, rules in games and much more. See the list of symptoms. Also, there are more types of dyscalculia, and all types demand specific learning methods aimed at the specific problem.
You Can Do It If You Want To!
Probably followed by "and if you try hard enough". This is a typical remark from teachers and parents to motivate the student - and although it can be meant in the BEST way possible, it is not true when it comes to dyscalculic students. The thing a dyscalculic wants most in this world is to be able to understand those numbers. Dyscalculics need different learning methods, in every aspect of the assignment. Dyscalculics are able to learn how to calculate something one day, only to discover that the information has been forgotten the next day. In other words programs like Kumon, where repetition is a major part of the teaching methods seem to have no result for dyscalculic students - they forget. Through different learning methods aimed specifically at the student and his/her version of dyscalculia can have great results.

February News
Greetings Unschoolers! I hope everyone is making the best of all our snow! If you are in search of something fun and interesting to do today, I urge you to check out the Chinese New Year Celebration in Portland, from 1030a-4pm. Admission is $6/adults, $4/ages 2-17. It's the Year of The Rabbit.
I recently created another blog called Unearth and Fathom at the request of my two unschoolers and it's where I strew, or leave information about varied topics in their paths. It's intended to be a fun way to learn together and we're happy to have you come learn with us!
Meanwhile, teens are still meeting regularly at the library. It's a great group and there are regularly about 7-10 unschoolers. Stay tuned for postings about other gatherings, coming soon!
Teen Gatherings @ The Portland Public Library

When: Every Tuesday, 12Noon-2pm
Where: Portland Public Library in the Teen Lounge. (The Teen Lounge is located behind the circulation desk). 5 Monument Square Portland, Maine 04101. Directions.

December Update
Hello Maine Unschooling Network, I hope this season finds you all well, content and blessed. While I know so many of us are busy this month, I don't have any MEUNetwork-specific activities to post. Of interest, however:
Teen Gatherings @ The Portland Public Library will not be meeting for December and will resume in January.
Many unschoolers are participating in choirs, plays, ballets, fairs, and other seasonal community events for this December, so if you have the interest and ability, showing your support is always appreciated. (My two will be singing with the Portland Symphony Orchestra and The Magic of Christmas throughout the month, for instance.)
From smack dab in the middle of Maine comes this really wonderful blog, The Scientific Homeschool. I look forward to a snowy, winter day when I have hours to peruse the blog as it is chock-full of good things.
Another new-to-me resource is Exploratorium. In particular, I like that the site has a whole section for teens, which offers anything from cow eye dissection videos to inspirational stories.
Vi Hart has an amazing blog and produces equally amazing videos and there's lots to learn from her.
Stay safe, well and warm and may your season be bright and merry!

Update & Repost: Sign-Up For LabVenture! Program
UPDATE: There are a few spots left! Please be at the Gulf Of Maine Research Institute no later than 830am, Thursday, Sept 30. You will have to allow time to fill out a permission form. We will meet in the lobby. Thanks! If you need to make a change of plans, I have to know by Wednesday evening, Sept 29, at the latest! This is very important. ~Amy
What: Lobster: Untold Tales The program is free.
About the Visit (from the site)
What to expect
Maine's 5th and 6th [ages 10-12] grade students will be immersed in a world of marine science. They will be welcomed with a dynamic presentation about the Gulf of Maine and will learn how they are connected to this biologically rich area through the larger watershed. As students take on the role of marine scientists, they will visit four interactive LabVenture! stations to explore and discover why lobsters are important to the Gulf of Maine. A "scientific conference" will summarize what they have learned by displaying student-generated data and tying this into current research. All students will leave this experience with a personal website that displays pictures and videos they created during their visit. This allows students and educators to extend the experience past GMRI and into students' homes and classrooms.
What students will learn
Maine's 5th and 6th grade [ages 10-12] students will be engaged in the scientific process as they ask questions, make observations, develop hypotheses, collect data, and draw conclusions. While exploring the importance of lobsters, students will view larval lobsters under microscopes to study life cycle and food web, handle live lobsters to gather evidence about adaptation, experience marine science research methods at GMRI's benthic tank, and consider the role of science in larger community decisions. Each of the activities at the LabVenture! stations is aligned with the Maine Learning Results and National Science Education Standards.
Where: Directions to the Gulf Of Maine Research Institute in Portland.
When: Thursday, September 30 9am-1130am
Who: kids ages 10-12. There is room for 19 unschoolers (at-home learners) in addition to the school group that will be there.
How: Please sign up by replying to this post, or emailing me at amybradstreet@hotmail.com . If you have further questions for the Gulf Of Maine Research Institute about this program, please contact:

First, a big thank you to Portland Public Library's, Justin Hoenke, Teen Librarian, for not only promoting the Wednesday evening events, but other teen gatherings as well. I know my kids, Olivia, 13 and Adam, 11, have benefited from PPL's offerings. If you have younger children, be sure to check out the library's Kid's Place.
Second, I am very happy to announce that we have a space and time for fall Teen Meet-Ups!
When: Every Tuesday, 12Noon-2pm
Where: Portland Public Library in the Teen Lounge. (The Teen Lounge is located behind the circulation desk). 5 Monument Square Portland, Maine 04101. Directions.

And finally, if you have ever wanted to sing in a community choir that was welcoming, friendly, relaxed yet challenging, you should check out Voices In Harmony Choirs. Olivia and Adam have been singing with the Saco Bay Children's Choir for many years now, and Alex and I will be singing in the Mixed Choir again this fall.

Teen Meet-Ups For August
Who: Maine unschoolers, ages 11-19
What: to gather, hang-out, get to know one another, share interests and make friends. To have Fun!
Aug 10, Tuesday 230p-430p @ Memorial Park at Oak Hill, Scarborough. DIRECTIONS: Off of Route 1, turn onto Sawyer Road. Turn right onto Durant Drive.
Aug 12, Thursday 1p-4p This is a pool party! Please pack accordingly and also please pack your own picnic lunch and drinks. Location: Jen Sylvester's home, Hollis. Directions.
We can plan more as the month unfolds and we hear from people about good locations for gathering and interests. I looked into the South Portland Teen Center, but it appears closed until September. Parks and beaches have potential, but while it's still summer we have to consider heat/shade/weather, crowds, parking and fees.
Looking ahead to fall, some good meeting places might be Fort Williams in Cape Elizabeth, Evergreen Cemetery in Portland, Deering Oaks in Portland, Old Orchard Beach, Kettle Cove in Cape Elizabeth, to name a few. For folks outside the southern Maine region, please initiate your own gatherings and let me know about them so they can be posted here. This also applies to other age gatherings.
Also, please consider attending Portland Public Library's Teen Zone, Wednesdays, early evening. A couple of unschoolers were there last week and found it interesting and fun, and it's a great, already established resource, space and opportunity to gather regularly.

Summer Update
Hello Unschoolers! I'm sure most of you are making the most of this beautiful summer we are having in Maine, or at least I hope so! Summer for my family has often been a season of growth, not relegated to the garden alone, as Maine offers an abundance of learning opportunities, large and small.
I hope, however, perhaps while you are relaxing in that beach chair or paddling that canoe, all of you are thinking about contributing to Maine Unschooling Network in the coming months, perhaps with a post or in the contribution of resource links. I realize that living in the southern part of the state means I have a limited knowledge about unschooling resources statewide. So this is where I need your help. If you live in thesouthern tip of northern Maine Bangor, for instance, I'd love to include a unschooling-friendly resource, whether it's a class, workshop, community outreach, facilitator, etc, let me know about it please, and I'll put it on the list. I used to live up that way, and central Maine, too, but before I had kids. That said, I'd like to keep the resource page links focused on those organizations or individuals that have been known to accommodate unschoolers.
In other news, my family will be attending our first ever unschooling conference next month, when we attend the Northeast Unschooling Conference. We're very excited and looking forward to meeting so many that we have gotten to know via the ol' interwebs. Are any of you attending a conference sometime soon? Have you been before? What was your experience like? Perhaps you would share, say in a blog post? Hmm?
Also, calling all shutterbugs out there--I started a companion flickr group for Maine Unschooling Network and it would be great to see how unschooling looks for all of you!
Again, I look forward to building this Maine Unschooling Network with you, so I urge you, please, share your writing, your photography and your knowledge!
