Discover how curiosity, culture, and connection replace curriculum this week with Sue Patterson’s gentle guidance.

No Need to Pause Learning — Halloween Is the Lesson!

Ever wonder how you’re going to celebrate holidays — like Halloween or Día de los Muertos — and fit in the lessons you planned for the week? 🎃
Here’s the secret: you don’t have to choose. The holiday is the lesson.

In this week’s Unschooling Mom2Mom Podcast episode, Sue shows how these fall celebrations are filled with real learning opportunities — from spooky storytelling and candy math to science, art, and cultural history. You’ll see how learning weaves naturally into family traditions when you slow down, stay curious, and let the season lead the way.

Whether you’re almost unschooling or a (usually) confident unschooler, this conversation will help you relax, reconnect, and see the everyday learning that’s already happening all around you.

🎃 Inside the Episode:

  • How to let Halloween be the lesson
  • Subject-by-subject learning ideas (Language Arts, Math, Science, Fine Arts, and Social Studies)
  • DĂ­a de los Muertos projects that connect heart, history, and creativity
  • How connection teaches more than curriculum ever could

💡 Resources Mentioned:

  • Blog post: Unschooling & Halloween Hub
  • 🎧 “An Unschooler’s Haunted House” — a fun, spooky throwback episode
  • 🍂 Seasonal Unschooling Guide for Autumn

  • 📅 November Strewing Calendar — packed with easy ideas + a private portal showing the learning behind them

✨ Subscribe on YouTube or your favorite podcast app for weekly encouragement — and remember, pausing curriculum doesn't mean pausing LEARNING.

Holidays can BE the lessons!
