text-align: left;"&gt;This year I want to incorporate more of Charlotte Mason's methods into our homeschool. &amp;nbsp;We&amp;nbsp;won't&amp;nbsp;go full-out for a CM curriculum as we are Afrikaans speaking, but we will start the year with art and music appreciation. &amp;nbsp;January is the start of our new school year and a great time to start with new ideas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a

left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Last week we started with reading and revision, while this week we added the artist and composer. &amp;nbsp;For the artist I chose Jan Vermeer, as we have a Time-Life Book about his life and works. &amp;nbsp;I bought three of these series at a&amp;nbsp;second-hand&amp;nbsp;book shop for about R50 a book. &amp;nbsp;They cover the life of an artist but also have a lot of prints from other artists. &amp;nbsp;So we will be able to use the book for more than one artist.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0v8cOsCAK8Q/Txf8g0FVZ3I/AAAAAAAAAq0/Jj3YKSjWR0M/s1600/2012-01-19+13.04.45.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align:

class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I first made a selection of 6 works by Vermeer, those that are on full or even double pages. &amp;nbsp;This week we will study &lt;i&gt;Street in Delft&lt;/i&gt;. &amp;nbsp;I wanted a picture that would capture the attention of the children and has interesting detail. &amp;nbsp;That way artist appreciation starts on a positive note (and I will try my best to keep it that way).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Simeon had to look at the picture for about five minutes and had to try to see it in his&amp;nbsp;minds-eye. &amp;nbsp;Afterwards I turned the book around and let his&amp;nbsp;describe what he saw. &amp;nbsp;I think for a first time it went well and we will refine the process as we go on. &amp;nbsp;Next week I want him to have a good look again and then try to copy it. &amp;nbsp;That is also a good way for a person to become part of the picture.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iqBPJQiMnRI/Txf8pbAvMWI/AAAAAAAAArE/U9VMJsfLW_A/s1600/DSC02939.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400"

center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Afterwards I propped the book on an old artist easel, so it will stay upright and in sight, and on a little side table in the passage from the rooms to the kitchen and near&amp;nbsp;our dining room / homeschool table&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a

center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I use a clip to keep the book open on the particular page. &amp;nbsp;This also stops the children from turning the pages and looking at other pictures. &amp;nbsp;The idea is that they concentrate on this one picture for a week or two.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I found this video very helpful. &amp;nbsp;It shows exactly how Picture Study can be done.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;iframe

working, reading on the computer in stead of ...? &amp;nbsp;Dad is working tonight, the children are in bed and I forgot to visit the library today. &amp;nbsp;So onto the computer to read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And reading through some Facebook comments I realised how&amp;nbsp;overwhelming /&amp;nbsp;complicated homeschooling can seem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just look at homeschooling. &amp;nbsp;There is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;"&lt;span style="color: #7f6000;"&gt;School-at-home" - very formal curriculums that follow the government regulations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;Homeschooling that is more informal but still uses curriculums to suit their needs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;Eclectics that use a mixture of methods and curriculums&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;Classical approaches&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;The Principal Approach&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Unschooling in varying degrees - even &lt;a href="http://www.christian-unschooling.com/"&gt;Christian Unschooling&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;.....&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* &lt;span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Delaying academics - Better late than early;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Accelerated&amp;nbsp;Eduction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are different ways to follow whatever one you choose with:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt; &lt;span style="color: lime;"&gt;Computer based education&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;* &lt;span style="color: #38761d; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Book based education&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Unit studies - with curriculums or on your own&lt;br /&gt;* Themed studies - using the curriculum&lt;br /&gt;* &lt;a href="http://www.whiteoakschool.com/camp-creek-blog/2008/10/2/project-based-homeschooling.html"&gt;Project studies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And also&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;* Lapbooking&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;* Notebooking&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;We use terms like: &amp;nbsp;UNSCHOOLING or DESCHOOLING (do we understand it ourselves?)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are different methods linked to different people:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Charlotte Mason and Guiding Natural curiosity - with a curriculum or without&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;John Holt and unschooling&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jean Piaget and cognitive development&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rudolf Steiner and Waldorf schools / homeschooling&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Maria Montessori and the prepared environment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Raymon and Dorothy Moore and "school can wait" and "better late than early"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;and more...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;You can use your television &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;OR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;dump it and never do any screen time (even no computers)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then we talk about formulating your homeschool philosophy, determining your children's learning styles / personalities, and your own teaching style. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;AND SO MUCH MORE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And all this can be very confusing to new homeschoolers; to those who want to homeschool but don't even know where to begin. &amp;nbsp;It's even confusing for those of use who might have studied the "subject" for some years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to those new&amp;nbsp;comers, &amp;nbsp;sometimes the best way forward is to just relax, enjoy your children, read a bit more... before you decide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now that I clarified this for myself, I'm of to Google more methods, people, curriculums....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or maybe I will run away and have a short holiday before the next school year begins in 2012.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

there are many types of snails&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;* snails have shells&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;* they can live up to 15 years or some even 25 years&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;* they hatch from eggs and eat their own egg for calcium to grow the shell&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;* they take two years to mature&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;* they love plants and fruits&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;* they are predated by frogs, snakes and birds (and humans)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;* And they look like this on the inside:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator"

(Hoe kry mense dit reg om slakke te eet met al hierdie goed aan die binnekant?)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;My answer: "That's a good question, and seeing all this, I&amp;nbsp;won't&amp;nbsp;ever eat a snail again."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Other 'nasties' we found on a

Some of the books I read stated that you should have a philosophy but they never said what it actually means and entails or how to formulate it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-ZA" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-ZA" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;To contribute to a blogging carnival was therefore not for me, I thought.

And to see how to put what I have at the back of my mind, to paper.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-ZA" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The first thing I did was to google “homeschool philosophy” to see what advise could be found on the web regarding forming and writing down our homeschooling philosophy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-ZA" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-ZA"&gt;I found &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-ZA"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.home-school-curriculum-advisor.com/home-schooling-philosophy.html"&gt;Homeschool Curriculum Advisor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-ZA"&gt; to be of great help.  The website leads you through questions and suggested readings of articles into forming your own philosophy.  Through reading facts can be discovered and ideas formed or formulated regarding what parents will see &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-ZA"&gt;as &lt;a href="http://www.home-school-curriculum-advisor.com/home-schooling-success.html"&gt;successful homeschooling&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-ZA"&gt;, what their &lt;a href="http://www.home-school-curriculum-advisor.com/long-term-home-schooling-goals.html"&gt;long term&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.home-school-curriculum-advisor.com/short-term-home-schooling-goals.html"&gt;short term&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-ZA"&gt;goals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-ZA"&gt; are much more&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-ZA"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-ZA" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-ZA" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;We are still in the process of discovery and formulation but this website already helped a lot.  Over time I do hope to find other websites and books to help us fine-tune our philosophy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-ZA" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-ZA" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;So, this is what we have formulated so far:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-ZA" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-ZA" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;We believe in God, that the Bible is God's word to us, that we believe in the creation of everything by God about 6000 years ago, and that God had planned everything before He even started, so He could speak all He planned into life.  And even just tell the earth, the sea and the heaven to bring forth all He had planned.

Need to sell them. &amp;nbsp;We have more space at the dining room table and can walk past the children when they work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;But, we do not have enough space for food.&amp;nbsp; We like to buy in bulk, small bulk, that is - rather the larger pack, than the smaller one when the former is cheaper per weight, etc.&amp;nbsp; So, it's back to the drawing board -oh no, I'm not in the office anymore.&amp;nbsp; Just back to the kitchen and the plastics cupboard, with more to get rid of, to make space for a new place for all groceries.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;Our occupant on the kitchen cabinet, in the dark corner, has "moved out" to greener pastures.&amp;nbsp; The hamster was buried under the red rose bush with lots of rose buds and blooms, to mommy's horror.&amp;nbsp; I love my rose garden, the first one I ever have.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;Another problem is that lot of things find their way to the kitchen, the things we use and do not put back in their place.&amp;nbsp; Well, to be honest, a lot of things in my house do not have a fixed place.&amp;nbsp; I'm a scatterbrain and can never even remember where those places are.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A book, a book, I already have a book:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;Have to say this does not sound the same as in Dutch "Een boek, een boek, I hebt al een boek."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;I really battle to get rid of books, and it's the BIG&amp;nbsp;reason why I'm stalling in my quest for minimalism.&amp;nbsp; I just seem to battle to decide which books should go.&amp;nbsp; Ok, I know, but what to do with them.&amp;nbsp; Ok, I know… I know … sell them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;I feel that the success of minimalising the rest of the house will be to start with all my books.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Minimalist Monday:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;I do hope that by trying to make this a regular feature, I might stay on track. &amp;nbsp;It already makes a big difference in my thinking. &amp;nbsp;I now think twice about what to bring into the house, a lot of thought about what to let go, and how to get rid of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;And my biggest hope is that in a practical and physical way we can teach our children that happiness is not linked to the p&lt;/span&gt;ossessions that we have, the income that we earn or business of our lives.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-2076146017235834290?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/2076146017235834290/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2011/10/i-need-to-give-progress-report-to.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/2076146017235834290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/2076146017235834290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2011/10/i-need-to-give-progress-report-to.html' title='Minimalist Monday'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8HWt8bLsjQE/Tq6qAIIIv6I/AAAAAAAAAmc/fIWwgncMTU0/s72-c/DSC02038.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-7268437017382834423</id><published>2011-10-28T21:53:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-28T21:53:12.062+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Net een oomblik'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Just A Moment'/><title type='text'>Just A Moment</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #fff2cc;

And how could a mother ever think that &lt;b&gt;she&lt;/b&gt; could teach her children without any teacher training!!!&amp;nbsp; Why, our teachers had to study for 4 years to do this.&amp;nbsp; That's what I thought too.&amp;nbsp; These parents were sent to jail (according to what we heard then).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;In 1996 homeschooling was legalised and more articles about it appeared in newspapers and magazines.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We discussed it at the office and the secretary was very much against it.&amp;nbsp; Her sister was a teacher (who studied four long years on how to teach and all the stages a child goes through, etc. etc. etc.)&amp;nbsp; To me it started to feel so right, just the thing I would love to do with/for my children should I ever have them.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;So many things changed in &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;South Africa&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and the old ways were no longer good enough, or were despised as institutions of the apartheid regime.&amp;nbsp; The national curriculum for schools was changed.&amp;nbsp; Outcome based became the buzz word.&amp;nbsp; It failed to produce the planned outcome.&amp;nbsp; A new one was planned.&amp;nbsp; Curriculum 2005 would be the ultimate…. &amp;nbsp;And the children were the victims.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;We were called into missions and attended missions training, where we were also exposed to homeschooling families, and families sending their children of the school on the same mission's base.&amp;nbsp; I wondered at the different decisions that Christian families make in the same situations.&amp;nbsp; I'm still wondering but do realise that every family is different.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;At the age of 37 years I found myself looking down at the most perfect baby ever born. &amp;nbsp;;-) &amp;nbsp;Beautiful, so small, so vulnerable and so impressionable.&amp;nbsp; I wasn't a young mother, maybe just as inexperienced but with a lot of life experience.&amp;nbsp; I knew that I wanted to spend my days with my son, not running around from work, to school, to extra murals and back home to a frozen meal.&amp;nbsp; Work and running an office, even taking over a business offered to me, all lost its flavour.&amp;nbsp; Been there, done that.&amp;nbsp; Now there was something far more important and precious in my life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Later, at La Leche League meetings, I found out that what I was already doing was called attachment parenting.&amp;nbsp; I read more and found a book in the library called "The Homeschooling Handbook" by Mary Griffith.&amp;nbsp; I entered homeschooling though the unschooling door and liked the idea.&amp;nbsp; I made a friend, Sally, also a new mom her, and far more "weird" than I could ever be.&amp;nbsp; We felt the same way about a lot of things and spoke about homeschooling our children.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Wondering where the schools would be in 7 years time when my child had to start his schooling, I started making plans to homeschool our child.&amp;nbsp; I borrowed two homeschooling books from a friend, Merinda, who already homeschooled their children.&amp;nbsp; They were (and still are) an example to me, even while living far away and visits are minimal.&amp;nbsp; "Educating the WholeHearted Child - A handbook for Christian Home Education" by Clay and Sally Clarkson and "Before Five in a Row".&amp;nbsp; These really helped us on the homeschool journey.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;

It's now known as "The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook".&amp;nbsp; This book helped me a lot with understanding the "Better late than early" concept (a book that I haven't yet read).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&lt;st1:placetype w:st="on"&gt;College&lt;/st1:placetype&gt; in &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;White River&lt;/st1:place&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Here we met a family that &amp;nbsp;had homeschooled their children, and gave me a lot of encouragement to keep on planning for homeschooling. &amp;nbsp;Other families drove the 15 km to town to drop their children of at government or private schools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Our situation changed and I had to go back to work.&amp;nbsp; I realised why I didn't like my profession anymore but stayed on for 18 months.&amp;nbsp; Simeon had to attend a pre-school and hated it.&amp;nbsp; But he loved his teacher, juffrou Karen.&amp;nbsp; The only days he liked was "weekend!" and looked forward to the "pink" day, Saturday.&amp;nbsp; He did not like Sundays and at one time told me that was because the next day was Monday - at four years of age!&amp;nbsp; Even after 18 months he was not settling in and they talked about ADD / ADHD and retilin.&amp;nbsp; I couldn't believe the change it my calm and contented child, who always slept well even as a baby.&amp;nbsp; Remember those charts where they tell you your baby should be awake for so many hours and then sleep for so long? That was Simeon to the tee.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;One mistake that I made here was to ask teacher friends advise regarding preschools. Looking back I should have taken Simeon to a play group or done more reseach and asked other parents for advise.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Then an added reason to homeschool came our way.&amp;nbsp; A beautiful, wanted, surprise present from God, we named Joshua.&amp;nbsp; Homeschooling two children was far better that doing it only for one, I felt.&amp;nbsp; But with my two sons born 4 years apart I started wondering if they will be friends when the first starts school with it's focus on age separation.&amp;nbsp; Or will they just pass each other in the passage every now and then.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H8CiWr21_XM/TpS0hTSgzHI/AAAAAAAAAfA/JRAX6Hc6tio/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H8CiWr21_XM/TpS0hTSgzHI/AAAAAAAAAfA/JRAX6Hc6tio/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;And an even better reason came along, which I wish didn't exist.&amp;nbsp; No, not another child but speech problems, that could be fixed but could better be handled by the competent team of the Department of Communication Pathology at the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placetype w:st="on"&gt;University&lt;/st1:placetype&gt; of &lt;st1:placename w:st="on"&gt;Pretoria&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&amp;nbsp; We had to move again, and this time for the benefit of the children.&amp;nbsp; And I decided to stay at home for their benefit too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;Simeon was diagnosed with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: blue;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apraxia_of_speech"&gt;Apraxia of Speech&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black;"&gt;(AOS)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;.&amp;nbsp; I blogged about it &lt;a href="http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/07/simeon-se-spraakterapie.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in Afrikaans.&amp;nbsp; It means that he has difficulty&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;in planning and programming speech movements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;a&lt;/span&gt;nd each child has his/her own set of easy to extremely difficult sounds - those he just can't form. The professor advised me to keep him at home and to not send him of to Grade 1.&amp;nbsp; Oh, THANK YOU!!!! While I had pages and paged of reasons to homeschool this was at this stage the best one to present to all our critics and family.&amp;nbsp; It was found that children, who were forced to correctly pronounce those difficult sounds in incorrect ways, would not be able to use that in other words.&amp;nbsp; Saying "cat" correctly does not mean he will be able to say "car" or "flat".&amp;nbsp; The child will then NEVER be able to correct his speech.&amp;nbsp; A chance I was not willing to take with my child's future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;We started with "deschooling".&amp;nbsp; For more than a year I would still hear, first frequently then later less, these words:"&amp;nbsp; Maar in Juffrou Karen se skool…" (But in miss Karen's school), or "Juffrou Karen het dit (so) gedoen", (miss Karen did it this way) or "Juffrou Karen sê" (miss Karen said).&amp;nbsp; Simeon just wanted to draw line drawings with black pens.&amp;nbsp; I later convinced him that colours are so beautiful and he started using them.&amp;nbsp; He played and played and played, mostly free play.&amp;nbsp; We did some crafts, but he liked the drawing because that was free, with no interferences.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;When Simeon was about 3 years old, a missionary friend told us that God showed her Simeon is a "visual learner".&amp;nbsp; Nearly every day I can see that in our lives.&amp;nbsp; Simeon likes to draw or play out things he has seen on experienced.&amp;nbsp; He draws a lot of volcanoes after we borrowed videos from the library. &amp;nbsp;And sky scrapers after seeing a photo in an e-mail. &amp;nbsp;He likes to play Cars.&amp;nbsp; Or copying scenes from Pasela.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&lt;/span&gt;As with all conversations schooling came up.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;"No, Simeon is not attending a school.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We homeschool." So, the question was which curriculum we use.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;"None.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We "unschool" with a Charlotte Mason twist."&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;You could (again) cut the atmosphere with a knife.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;"Oh, the poor little bloke, he will never be able to ….

I couldn't finish the sentence as the other mom, with two children embedded in the school system said "My friend's sister is homeschooling, and she says it's so difficult.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She battles through all that the kids have to do, and….."&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I stopped listening actively and gave my full attention to my sons.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If they did not want to listen to the one in their midst who IS homeschooling and rather talk about a relative of a friend experience, who am I to interrupt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Conclusion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;So, now I'm going to share what we are learning to those people that want to know.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;

Daar was drie verskillende vinke besig in die verskillende neste. &amp;nbsp;EK het nie 'n verkyker en voëlgids saam geneem nie, dus kon ons nie almal positief identifiseer nie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Die volgende dag was daar ‘n groot&amp;nbsp; wolkbreuk en het die water blykbaar so 15 sentimeter onder die brug deur gespoel.&amp;nbsp; Die “spruit” het 25 meter breed geloop en die nes en riete het weggespoel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Die jongetjie het op ‘n takkie gesit in ‘n struik, terwyl die ouer onder die brug deur gevlieg het en soms kom sit het.  Dan is ons bekyk om te sien of ons nie slegte intensies het met die kleintjie nie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ons kon dit maklik herken aangesien die swaeltjies ‘n wit onderkant het met ‘n swart borsbandjie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;

Ek het ook besluit om Simeon aan te moedig om voëls te kyk en om vir hom ‘n lys te kry om alles wat hy gesien het aan te teken.&amp;nbsp; So kry ek twee maats om mee saam voëls te kyk – een van my baie afgeskeepte stokperdjies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;

font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;‘n Tyd gelede het ek twee plakkeralbums gekoop “Open your Shop – Toy Shop” en “- Pet Shop”.&amp;nbsp; Die idee was om dit vir ‘n goeie doel te gebruik en nie net die plakkers te plak en die res te mors nie.&amp;nbsp; Ek wou graag ‘n goeie leerervaring met hulle skep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Nadat ons ‘n paar troeteldierwinkels besoek het om Simeon se hamsters te verkoop het ek die idee gekry om ‘n lapbook met die “Pet Shop” album te skep – die doel waarvoor dit tog gemaak is, is “open your shop”.&amp;nbsp; Op hierdie wyse kon ons ‘n praktiese ervaring – besoeke aan die troeteldierwinkels – omskep in verdere leergeleenthede – skep ‘n eie troeteldierwinkel.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Ek wou al vir ‘n hele tydjie ‘n lapbook maak saam met Simeon, maar ek het nie mooi geweet hoe nie.&amp;nbsp; Ek wou so graag ‘n lapbook sien, maar waar?&amp;nbsp; Die internet het dit net “nie vir my gedoen nie”.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; En so leer ek iets oor myself, ek is ‘n visuele leerder, wat ook my tassin wil gebruik (tactile learner).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ek wou ‘n lapbook sien en daaraan vat, dit oop maak, dit ervaar, dit omdraai… en miskien ook nog ruik en proe?&amp;nbsp; ;-)&amp;nbsp; In November 2010 het ons die Homeschool Expo in &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;Johannesburg&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; bygewoon en daar het ek die geleentheid gekry om dit te doen.&amp;nbsp; Lapbooks het ‘n werklikheid vir my geword.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Selfs voor dit het ek baie webwerwe besoek en goeie raad gekry.&amp;nbsp; Veral op &lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/lapbooking"&gt;www.squidoo.com/lapbooking&lt;/a&gt; is daar raad oor hoe om dit te doen EN hoe om dit nie te doen nie.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Ek het baie idees vir lapbooks gehad maar niks wou werk en in plek val nie.&amp;nbsp; Maar die “Open Your Shop” boekies was vir my ‘n baie goeie idee vir ‘n maklike eerste lapbook.&amp;nbsp; En so kon ek dit positief bekendstel aan my visuele leerder, Simeon.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Raad wat vir my baie sin maak, is om met klein boekies (genaamd minibooks) te begin en nie met die hele lapbook nie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IAYvXcpr_IA/TVRRSPnuBlI/AAAAAAAAAWE/-7Ywu8Mjpf0/s1600/2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="235" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IAYvXcpr_IA/TVRRSPnuBlI/AAAAAAAAAWE/-7Ywu8Mjpf0/s320/2.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Al die minibookies reeds in geplak&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Ons het dus eerste met die “troeteldierwinkel” self begin.&amp;nbsp; Ek het baie daaroor gedink en wou hê dit moet soos ‘n regte winkel lyk, ‘n bietjie drie-dimensioneel.&amp;nbsp; Soos die winkels wat ons besoek het.&amp;nbsp; Heelwat nagte se beplanning en oordink oor hoe die miniboekie nou eintlik moet lyk, het eers verby gegaan voor ons begin het.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Ons het die kartonvoorblad van die plakkeralbum gebruik as die winkelfront.&amp;nbsp; Simeon het sy winkel sy eie naam gegee en ook sommer beveel ek moet skryf “Geen skelms toegelaat”.&amp;nbsp; Wel, dis sy boek, wat kon ek anders doen?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i9ORt3EGugU/TVRRTiPXOvI/AAAAAAAAAWI/YcQlb9eCxrA/s1600/3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Die miniboekie bestaan uit ‘n karton wat in drie dele verdeel is en die twee buitenste derdes word bo-oor mekaar na binne gevou.&amp;nbsp; Die middelste deel se agterkant word dus op die lapbook vasgeplak.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Die plakkeralbum het ‘n plakbladsy wat ‘n buite area is.&amp;nbsp; In die Noorde van ons stad is daar ‘n troeteldierwinkel wat ook ‘n groot buite area het.&amp;nbsp; ‘n Goeie idee was dus om deure na “buite” te skep op die een bladsy.&amp;nbsp; Ek het die ekstra karton na binne gevou en aan die linkerkant ‘n stuk in geplak vir die ander deur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #003366;

font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Simeon het vir rakke gevra en self besluit wat daar uitgestal moes word.&amp;nbsp; Ek het dit op die een deur geteken omdat daar nie nog plek was nie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Daar was drie winkelbladsye in die plakkeralbum en dus was een stuk karton nog oop.&amp;nbsp; Simeon het sommer sy eie hokke gemaak en diere in gesit.&amp;nbsp; By die katte is bakke met katsand en ‘n waterbak.&amp;nbsp; Die slang se hok het ‘n sleutelgat sodat niemand dit &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;kan&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; oop maak nie.&amp;nbsp; Die visse se vistenk het ‘n waterfilter en waterpyp net soos die vistenk in “Nemo”.&amp;nbsp; Die voël sit op ‘n stokkie en daar is kos en water in sy hok.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VXIaFG0ZAr8/TVRPmU1dcuI/AAAAAAAAAV4/hWkAyqYvHlU/s1600/9.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Daarom het ek al die diere neer geskryf in potlood.&amp;nbsp; Soos Simeon leer lees en skryf sal hy dit dan oorskryf in pen.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;

Hy geniet die lewe voluit en ondersoek ALLES.  Hy is ook meer avontuurlustig  en dapperder as Simeon.  Niks is meer veilig nie en niks is "heilig" nie.  Hy het gistermiddag my tafel verwoes terwyl ek met my suster gepraat het.    En vandag die suikerpot met 'n hele bottel baba olie opgevul!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hy's gelukkig ook baie liefdevol en sal graag by my kom sit wanneer ek stories lees, vir 'n baie kort rukkie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TUFUy7852mI/AAAAAAAAAU0/ZWKL0tfpb50/s1600/8.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TUFUy7852mI/AAAAAAAAAU0/ZWKL0tfpb50/s320/8.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566823848469977698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Joshua was so geïntreseerd in die sirkus, en het  natuurlik die narre baie geniet.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Vir my is dit nie so belangrik om Joshua nou formeel te leer of 'n program te volg nie.  Alles wat hy doen en alles waarin hy belangstel is leergeleenthede.  Ek praat baie met hom oor wat hy doen, wat dit is, wat ons daarmee doen.  En buitendien kry mens nie baie samewerking as jy iets met hom wil doen nie, die luistervaardighede moet nog baie ontwikkel. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TUFUyh6O6QI/AAAAAAAAAUs/gvkGn5w-5qs/s1600/7.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TUFUyh6O6QI/AAAAAAAAAUs/gvkGn5w-5qs/s320/7.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566823841479452930" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Met die stokkies en balletjies stel.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Wanneer hy met iets speel sal ek probeer om soms saam te speel.   Alleenspel is baie belangrik, hulle leer so hulle self besig hou.  En om self te probeer, self te skep.    Met hierdie speelgoed (in die foto hierbo) speel ek wel saam aangesien die balletjies klein is en tog so maklik in die mond gesit word.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Die wat weet sê mos dat alles wat deur 'n toiletrolletjie kan gaan kan in 'n keelgat ook af.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TUFUySzBq3I/AAAAAAAAAUk/D8EB-NtDpUU/s1600/B4Cover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 216px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TUFUySzBq3I/AAAAAAAAAUk/D8EB-NtDpUU/s320/B4Cover.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566823837422693234" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Dit gesê, het ek wel die &lt;a href="http://fiarhq.com/fiveinarow.info/beforefiveinarow.html"&gt;Before Five in a row&lt;/a&gt; boek.  Ek het al twee boeke in Afrikaans opgespoor in die Waverley Biblioteek.  Joshua luister egter nog nie na stories nie.  Ek sien wel dat gereedheid besig is om te ontwikkel.  (As iemand egter die hele lys van Afrikaanse boeke het sal ek dit waardeer as julle dit kan e-mail.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TUFUyTl1KzI/AAAAAAAAAUc/6EhgDsC1E9g/s1600/6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TUFUyTl1KzI/AAAAAAAAAUc/6EhgDsC1E9g/s320/6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566823837635783474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Joshua, dis alles geel.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Een ding waarop ek wel baie konsentreer is kleure.  Ek het nooit met Simeon agter gekom dat ek hom kleure en vorms leer nie.  Ons het dit so in die speel gedoen en hy het dit baie gou geleer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Met Joshua het ek net meer opgelet, soos dat ek nou voel hy is gereed daarvoor, en dat ek dit wel doen.  Net soos met Simeon, maar ek's meer bewus daarvan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Alle kleure is nou nog groen (toen).  So, as ons sukkel met ander wys ek sommer 'n paar groenes sodat hy "reg" kan wees.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TUFUSr074lI/AAAAAAAAAUU/GcivRlDoJ6k/s1600/5.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TUFUSr074lI/AAAAAAAAAUU/GcivRlDoJ6k/s320/5.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566823294385775186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Estienne, Joshua en Jolinda&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Baie tyd word spandeer aan spraakterapie.  Joshua het baie van sy terapeute gehou, maar omdat hulle 4de jaar was, moet hy hierdie jaar nuwe terapeute kry.  Beide het goed geslaag, Estienne het haar Graad gecum.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Net nadat die spraakterapie laasjaar opgehou het, het Joshua weggetrek en begin praat.

Ek het eers gedink dit gaan moeilik wees.  Maar ek het besef ons doen dit al reeds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Elke aand net voor slaaptyd lees ek 'n paar gediggies vir die kinders.  Daar is een vir Simeon en een vir Joshua wat ons elke aand lees.  "In die land van Marmelade" (Simeon) en "Katjie, katjie Nelletjie" (Joshua).  En een dag uit die bloute sê Simeon sommer die gediggies self op.  Eers die "Katjie" gediggie en later "In die land van..."  En nou is dit 'n speletjie:  Ek sê 'n paar woorde en dan sê Simeon 'n paar.  Groot pret.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ek gebruik "Kleuter-Verseboek" van D.J Opperman gedatteer 1957.  Sommer vir interessantheid - Die boek het behoort aan L. Els met die datum Mei 1959.  Ons het die boek gekoop in Mei 2009.  50 jaar later. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ek gee hiermee die woorde van "In die Land van Marmelade".  Dis so oulik en het baie geleentheid geskep vir gesprekke oor allerhande goed soos lande, jakkalsdrade, ens, wat ons stadskind nie ken nie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;In Die Land Van Marmelade&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TTiHNNLnHPI/AAAAAAAAATk/MaLx52Mie5s/s1600/marmelade.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TTiHNNLnHPI/AAAAAAAAATk/MaLx52Mie5s/s320/marmelade.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564346000562658546" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;In die land van Marmelade,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Woon 'n seker Jan van Stade'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;En hy gee so baie rade-&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Hy't selfs raad teen jeremiade.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;In die land van Marmelade,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Toegespan met jakkalsdrade,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Leef hul net van sjokolade,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Help-my-druppels en genade.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;In die land van Marmelade,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Ly die mense baie skade-&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Dis deur al die goeie rade&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Van oom Jannie en sy gade!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;A.D. Keet &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;En hierdie gediggie het aanleiding gegee tot Paddington stories.  Ek moes maande lank, en ek bedoel maande lank, elke aand 'n Paddington storie vertel.  Ek het maar opgemaak en bygevoeg en gedink.  Meestal het Simeon ook in die stories verskyn as maat, buurman, helper ens.  Dis eers met kwaai woorde wat ek dit kon stop sit, aangesien die stories begin inmeng het met slaaptyd. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TTiHM3BF8cI/AAAAAAAAATc/C5iuVhcU6ZI/s1600/Paddington%2BMarmelade.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 312px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TTiHM3BF8cI/AAAAAAAAATc/C5iuVhcU6ZI/s320/Paddington%2BMarmelade.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564345994612961730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ek sal hierdie manier van poësie leer beslis aanbeveel aangesien dit maklik is.

Simeon was gaande daaroor, en wou net he ek moes tydig en ontydig die boek lees.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ek sou graag op 'n manier 'n lapbook daaroor maak maar het nog nie voorbeelde daarvan op internet gesien nie.  Die boek het 'n kaart voorin en lyntekeninge.  Ek het besluit om 'n paar fotostate te maak en dan dit te gebruik.  Ek kan die boek werklik aanbeveel vir kinders vanaf 5 jaar.  Die taalgebruik is baie mooi en dis 'n lus om te lees.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Daar is twee of drie tonele wat ek uit gelaat het of bietjie gesensor het.  Ek sal dit dalk oor twee of drie jaar weer lees en dan daaroor praat.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. Mol se besoek aan die Wilde Woud het baie lang beskrywings wat maar saai word, so ek het dit oor geslaan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Rot en Mol se soektog na Vettetjie die ottertjie.  Ek het hier die deel oor Pan gesensor.  Ek sal as Simeon heelwat meer geestelike volwassenheid bereik met hom praat oor afgode en gode.  Nou beperk ons dit en hou dit so min as moontlik.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-6959208948890258193?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/6959208948890258193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2011/01/boekvoorlesing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/6959208948890258193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/6959208948890258193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2011/01/boekvoorlesing.html' title='Boekvoorlesing'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-2818971177539187589</id><published>2011-01-17T08:43:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-01-17T09:26:48.799+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Psalms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charlotte Mason'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kuns'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='unschooling'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amptelik'/><title type='text'>Tuisonderrig "begin"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Ons het 'n week se tuisonderrig agter die blad.

Ons is bederf deur Vader God.  Ons verblyf is opgegradeer na 'n pragtige chalet, Maroela nr 1 met hierdie bome voor die stoep.  Die bome het 'n pagtige prentjie uitgemaak wat inmekaar gepas het.  Ons was sommer naby die swembaddens maar ook privaat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TQVEHPcESwI/AAAAAAAAAN8/qklrTDIFofE/s1600/l.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549917006998031106" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TQVEHPcESwI/AAAAAAAAAN8/qklrTDIFofE/s320/l.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Die njalas het elke dag kom kos vra en Joshua was sommer gou by om hulle kos te gee.  Hierdie ooi en haar lam het gesmul aan die ertjies.  Ons het baie van ons groente so af gestaan, maar die ervaring vir die kinders was belangriker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TQVEGimsQkI/AAAAAAAAAN0/e0xzjurvmdA/s1600/k.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549916994962997826" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TQVEGimsQkI/AAAAAAAAAN0/e0xzjurvmdA/s320/k.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Die koue swembad was BAIE koud en die kinders het eerder in die die jaccuzi geswem.

Simeon wou eers glad nie, maar nadat Joshua probeer het, het hy dit reg gekry.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Simeon wil graag 'n boer word, maar erdwurms staan hom nie aan nie - geen plantery dus nie.  Na die koeimelk wou hy ook nie meer koeie he nie.

En hy het aanhou vrae vra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TQVDVUTFOmI/AAAAAAAAAMs/hO8q1oBd-Ow/s1600/b.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549916149309061730" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TQVDVUTFOmI/AAAAAAAAAMs/hO8q1oBd-Ow/s320/b.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; So ek het maar fotos geneem sodat ons later weer daaroor kan praat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TQVDVFh5iDI/AAAAAAAAAMk/B9hNlWYBv74/s1600/a.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 155px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549916145344677938" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TQVDVFh5iDI/AAAAAAAAAMk/B9hNlWYBv74/s320/a.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; My grootste teleurstelling was dat Papatso nou heeltemaal afgebreek is.  Papatso was 'n curios winkel van my kinderdae.  Ons het in my laerskool dae elke wintervakansie een dag vanaf Pretoria na Warmbad toe gegaan om daar te swem.  En dan gestop by Papatso, sommer maar net.  Seker maar om die lang pad korter te laat voel.   Nou is dit heeltemaal weg.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ek het besluit dat dit soms beter is om nie die ou herinneringe weer op te haal deur 'n besoek nie, maar om dit in die verlede te laat.  So behou mens 'n mooi heel beeld van die verlede - 'n tikkie misterie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-2296158083091869980?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/2296158083091869980/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/12/vakansie-by-sondela.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/2296158083091869980'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/2296158083091869980'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/12/vakansie-by-sondela.html' title='Vakansie by Sondela'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TQVEH-y5sXI/AAAAAAAAAOM/faoKSc0_mfo/s72-c/n.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-4196149005675852121</id><published>2010-11-20T15:20:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-11-20T15:25:03.872+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='molshool'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cullinan'/><title type='text'>Die molshoop</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TOfMAnLIp0I/AAAAAAAAALs/mCN7fonlfUI/s1600/photo0032.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541622177390438210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TOfMAnLIp0I/AAAAAAAAALs/mCN7fonlfUI/s400/photo0032.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ons het uiteindelik 'n foto gekry van 'n molshoop.

En ek kon dit vang om saam met Simeon te bekyk. Hy vra toe onmiddelik na die sagte binnevlerkies wat beskerm word deur die gekleure harde doppies. En ons praat oor ander kleure lieweheersbesies wat mens nog kry. Die een wat ons gevang het was wit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Maar die eerste ding wat ek gesien het toe ons gestop het was die molshope. Ons het daarheen geloop en die grond weg geskep om die tonnel te bekyk. Dit loop skuins af na onder en is maar sowat 5cm in deursnee. &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 220px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 147px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532694485112724274" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TMgUUhvoGzI/AAAAAAAAALc/YtNB8PSmNt0/s320/Mol.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;'n goue mol&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Simeon wou weet hoe ver 'n mol kan grawe in een nag. By die huis het ons gaan Google en op Wikipedia gesien hulle kan in een nag sover as 6 km grawe. Ons het heelwat inligting gekry en is besig met 'n Power Point Presentation om al hierdie inligting te gebruik. Op hierdie manier kan ons papier spaar en die omgewing bewaar. Die PPS sal ek dan op Simeon se rekenaar laai sodat hy weer en weer daarna kan kyk.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Die een foto wat ek vergeet het om te neem is die van die molshope.

Ons volg geen formele program nie en enige informele skoling wat deur Simeon herken kan word, word summier deur hom geboikot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ek het 'n paar dae gelede 'n rekenaarspeletjie gekoop van Oom Karolus en Lente (Maranataland) - In die Begin. Dit gaan oor die skepping, maar het ook allerhande oefeninge in soos "hoeveel wolkies is daar?" en wat is 1+2 en ook "plaas die getalle in volgorde van klein na groot". Hierdeur doen ons dus nou heelwat informele werk wat aanvaarbaar is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die beste deel van die jaar het aangebreek, die lente, wat hier in die binneland te gou somer geword het. Dit het ons die geleentheid gegee om plantjies te plant en saad te saai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 223px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525437946099276066" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TK5MiXW2GSI/AAAAAAAAAKg/P7qVh9cVd0g/s320/avokado.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ons het die avokaopeer by vriende in Witrivier gekry. Dit was groot en baie lekker. En dit pit, 'n glaspotjie, water en lig het die res gedoen. Dis 'n lekker sigbare manier vir kinders om te sien hoe die wortels en daarna die stammetjie en blare begin groei. Ek weet net nog glad nie waar ons dit gaan plant nie en of 'n pot 'n goeie idee sal wees nie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TK5Giw2NO9I/AAAAAAAAAKQ/PdkUmwItJrc/s1600/Grinadella+plant.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525431355871935442" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TK5Giw2NO9I/AAAAAAAAAKQ/PdkUmwItJrc/s320/Grinadella+plant.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ek het ook 'n grenadella plant gekoop en saam met Simeon geplant. Ons grond is effens kleierig, maar swart en ryk. Daar is ook baie erdwurms in. Ek keer gereeld een om. Simeon wil graag 'n boer word vandat hy klein is, maar gril vir alle wurms, goggas, spinnekoppe en reptiele. Hy vertel dan almal hy gaan met diere boer. Ek hoop deur hom meer by die tuinwerk te betrek ek darem 'n positiewe invloed sal he. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TK5GilujsPI/AAAAAAAAAKI/x_wqhP3a6A8/s1600/Sonneblomme+1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525431352887062770" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TK5GilujsPI/AAAAAAAAAKI/x_wqhP3a6A8/s320/Sonneblomme+1.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ek het gekies om die sonneblomsade eerder in 'n bord te laat ontkiem sodat die kinders kon sien wat gebeur. Onder in is twee papierborde en bo-op koerantpapier (ons het nie rolle watte gehad nie). Nadat die wortels goed gevorm het, het ek grond by gegooi. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 229px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525431345578131266" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TK5GiKf-P0I/AAAAAAAAAKA/YmktRA2FDtc/s320/Sonneblomme+2.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die plantjies is langs die grenadella geplant. Ek sal later 'n foto plaas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525431335435681458" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TK5Ghkt0vrI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/QoE5KHmdiAU/s320/viooltjies.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Hierdie viooljie blare het wortels gemaak. So leer hulle dat party plante anders kan voortplant. Ek het 1 jaar en 3 maande nadat ons ingetrek het die vermiste sakke met kompos en potgrond gekry. More kan ons die plantjies in potte plant.

Professor van der Merwe my alles verduidelik. Dit was baie insiggewend en uiteindelik verstaan ek wat hulle gaan doen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simeon se probleem word spraak apraksie genoem. Die "a" beteken &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"kan nie"&lt;/span&gt; en die "praksie" is afgelei van "praxis" wat beteken "&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;om te beplan&lt;/span&gt;".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499674033497053714" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TFLEZRsIGhI/AAAAAAAAAIY/NzLMcSC4DBs/s320/hoed+en+swaai.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit wil sê Simeon kan nie sy spraak, of te wel die klanke goed beplan nie. Daar is 'n probleem tussen die brein en die mond. Maar die ore weet baie goed dat dit nie reg is nie. Sekere kinders hou dan op praat, maar Simeon praat ten spyte daarvan. Ons ore van ons koppe af. &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;En dit beteken dat hy dus sukkel om sekere klanke konstant reg uit te spreek. Dit maak wel vir my sin aangesien Simeon nie as baba baie gebabbel het nie. Hy het dus nie deur die oefeninge, as baba, gegaan nie. En dit is eintlik net ek wat hom goed verstaan en daarna Johan. Dit frustreer ander mense om na hom te luister, want hulle kan hom nie volg nie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Die probleem is 'n misterie in die veld van spraakterapie, en hulle weet nie presies wat die oorsaak daarvan is nie. Die probleem wys ook nie op 'n breinscan nie, daarom dat ons niks kon sien daarop nie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vir 'n hele paar sessies het die professor gemoeid met Simeon, die sessies by gewoon en selfs dit op band opgeneem. Hulle kon so na die tyd mooi luister om te bepaal watter klanke hoe uitgespreek word. Wat veral opvallend is met apraksie is dat klanke nie konstant verkeerd uitgespreek word nie, maar een keer reg en baie kere verkeerd, die een keer so en anderkeer anders.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Die program wat die professor opgestel het, en al van die 1980's gebruik, behels dat Simeon nie-woorde moet oefen. Vir my beteken dit dat hulle hom leer babbel sodat hy reg kan leer klanke maak. Hulle gebruik nie woorde nie, omdat die kind dan spesifieke woorde reg kan sê, maar dit nie in ander woorde kan gebruik nie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, as julle nog altyd gewonder het waarom kinders babbel, dis om daardie klanke reg te leer uitspreek. En hy luister die hele tyd, korrigeer homself en bly babbel tot die woorde reg uit kom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 251px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499674030282940034" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TFLEZFt0noI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/I9MGtsRJpXU/s320/skooltasse+2.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;En hier kom die belangrikheid daarvan in, dat Simeon nie skool toe moet gaan nie. Daar sal hulle die hele tyd hom wil dwing om reg te praat, woorde reg uit te spreek. En die praktyk het Professor van der Merwe al geleer dat sulke kinders dan nooit reg leer praat nie. Sy het spesifiek kinders gevolg in 'n kleuterskool wat voorheen by die Universiteit was en dit sien/hoor gebeur.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 278px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499674027845468674" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TFLEY8orwgI/AAAAAAAAAII/6MB7KOG2O_s/s320/skooltasse.JPG" /&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ons mag daarom glad nie Simeon meer korrigeer nie, en ook nie woorde oefen nie. Ek kan ook nie help met 'n tuisprogram nie, omdat dit baie spesifiek is. Sy het die program aan my gewys en verduidelik. Die program gaan van vlak 1 tot 5, maklik tot moeilik in elke groep klanke wat Simeon moet aanleer. Hulle begin met die maklike klanke (vir Simeon) en gaan dan aan met al hoe moeiliker klanke. Die program word dus vir elke kind oor geskryf om spesifiek die kind se behoeftes aan te spreek.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Wat wel bemoedigend is, is dat dit gebeur dat die kind skielik ander klanke spontaan self reg uitspreek en dat spraakontwikkeling sommer dan baie vinnig verbeter, alhoewel ander klanke steeds geoefen sal moet word voordat dit reg kom.  Daarom dat Simeon sommer in die vakansie sy eie naam kom sê: Si-mie-on. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499674016734538322" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TFLEYTPoalI/AAAAAAAAAIA/-jcJYdWyN4s/s320/blare+hark.JPG" /&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dit sal dalk selfs nodig wees dat ons die hele program weer van voor af moet doen wanneer Simeon 'n nuwe taal, selfs Engels, aanleer. Sodat hy weer klanke kan leer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ek is baie dankbaar dat God ons na die Universiteit van Pretoria gelei het.  Dit is goed om te weet dat ons by die persoon uit gekom het wat spesialiseer in hierdie spraakprobleem.  Spraakapraksie kom nie baie voor nie, en baie spraakterapeute kom nooit in hul hele loopbaan daarmee in aanraking nie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-7253525391596540083?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/7253525391596540083/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/07/simeon-se-spraakterapie.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/7253525391596540083'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/7253525391596540083'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/07/simeon-se-spraakterapie.html' title='Simeon se spraakterapie.'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TFLEZRsIGhI/AAAAAAAAAIY/NzLMcSC4DBs/s72-c/hoed+en+swaai.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-511275161365446922</id><published>2010-07-30T13:31:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-30T13:38:46.632+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kos maak'/><title type='text'>Middagete!</title><content type='html'>Vanmiddag, terwyl ek Joshua in die bed sit, hoor ek Simeon dringend roep.

Aangesien hy by die Universiteit van Pretoria se Spraakterapie departement is, het hy studente, dosente en professors in sy span.

Ek sal later daaroor 'n blog pos aangesien ek dit nog skryf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Die beste nuus wat ek net moet deel:  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die professor wat betrokke is met Simeon se program is bly dat hy nie in 'n kleuterskool is nie.

Ek het gevoel dat Simeon se vakansie program glad nie ouderdomsgerig was nie en het daarom nie alles gedoen nie. Hulle wou he hy moet die alfabet van A - N kan skryf en getalle 0 - 9 (ook die woorde).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66cccc;"&gt;Ek wil julle bedank vir die werk wat julle met Simeon doen. Ek weet dit sal werk, alhoewel dit 'n langtermyn projek is. Ek wil net graag 'n paar dinge in perspektief plaas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simeon gaan nie volgende jaar skool toe nie. Ek gaan hom homeschool. Dis heeltemaal wettig. Ons is lede van Pestalozzi Trust en het reeds seker gemaak van ons feite.&lt;br /&gt;Ek het al baie op gelees oor homeschooling en neig na die unschooling kant. Dit beteken nie dat ons nie iets gaan doen nie, maar dat ek glo dat Simeon heeltemaal in staat is om self sy skoling te dryf, aangesien kinders wil leer. Dit beteken ook nie dat ek niks gaan voorstel of doen nie, aangesien mens lusmakers gebruik om die kind aan te moedig in 'n rigting in.&lt;br /&gt;Ek wil ook nie geen program volg nie en het nadat ek opgelees het en navorsing op die internet gedoen het, besef dat die Charlotte Mason manier baie by ons huis, my persoonlikheid en Simeon sal pas.&lt;br /&gt;Die program wat ons volg kan soos volg beskryf word: Lees, lees, lees en "narration" of terug vertel in eie woorde van die storie. En natuurstudies, wiskunde, musiekwaardering, kunswaardering, huiswerkies, kosmaak en baie meer.. Geskiedenis doen ons deur stories. Aardrykskunde deur na die wereldkaart en atlasse, padkaarte en straatkaarte te kyk terwyl ons lees. Ek soek nog 'n goeie bekostigbare aardbol, ons het op die oomblik 'n opblaas aardbol (of aardebol soos Simeon dit noem). Ek wil ook hierdie lente vir Simeon 'n paar groente laat plant - hy het uit sy eie laventeltakke geplant en gee dit self water. Ons het 'n avokadopeerpit in water gesit, en 'n pynappel se bokant, viooltjieblare en sal nog boontjies tussen watte laat groei. Dit was so mooi toe Simeon nog in Witrivier sy sondagskool se lensies in 'n bedding gegooi het en dit self op gekom het - hy was skoon verwonderd.&lt;br /&gt;Ons het reeds "Die wind in die wilgers" (The Wind in the Willows); "Die groot gans en die klein wit eendjie" van Meindert De Jong, "The Winter Diary of a Country Rat" en "The Midsummer Notebook of a Country Rat" (deur my vertaal soos ons lees) van Peter Firmin, Diva Veronica en vele meer gelees. Ons is nou besig met "Die Stoutsterte- van Texel tot Tafelbaai" van Marianna Brandt (Geskiedenis). Ek lees ook verhale uit die Kinderenseklopedie stel wat ons het (nie baie oor die kinders self nie aangesien die reeks al 40 jaar oud is).&lt;br /&gt;Ek lees 'n wye verskeidenheid boeke en soek ook dit op in die biblioteek. Ons neem wel kleuterboeke uit, maar lees eerder boeke wat goeie inhoud het met goeie woordeskat wat nie "af geskryf" is na kinders toe nie.&lt;br /&gt;Ek soek nog na goeie vertalings van Shakespeare en Alice in Wonderland (wat my Ma al gekry het). Alhoewel ek eintlik die stories in engels wil lees. Simeon kla bietjie daaroor maar sy engels is nie sleg nie aangesien hy in sy kleuterskool baie engelse goed gedoen het. Hy kyk ook graag engelse dvd's. Ek glo dat as ek deurdruk ons later Shakespear, Dickons en selfs The Pelgrim's Progress in Engels sal kan lees.&lt;br /&gt;Met formele wiskunde sal ons bietjie wag en maak net speletjies van getalle. Simeon tel goed tot 16 en ons werk aan die 16 - 20. Alles informeel sodat dit pret is. Vir my is dit nou belangriker dat hy die waarde van getalle ken: * is een ster en ****** is ses sterre ens.&lt;br /&gt;Simeon wil graag skryf en geniet dit baie om met die letters en syfers en krulle en draaie sy eie Bybel te skryf. Ek het hom gevra en hy wil nie nou leer lees nie. Hy besef natuurlik nie deur te leer skryf, dat hy sal leer lees ook nie. Maar dit maak nie saak nie. So stadigaan sal dit gebeur. Al is dit as hy eers 9 of 10 is. Intussen leer hy goed om te memoriseer. Hy ken heelwat gedigte soos "Katjie, Katjie Nelletjie", "In die land van Marmelade" (al twee 4 reel en drie stofes lank). Hy ken ook die hele "Bobbejaan, bobbejaan, waar kom jy vandaan" dis 'n lang gedig, maar hy geniet dit om die vrae te antwoord.&lt;br /&gt;Hy ken ook die dae van die week en weet watter dag dit is, hy weet watter dae winkels oop is en pappa werk en watter dag kerk is. Hy verstaan nog nie mooi maande nie maar gelukkig is dit iets wat hy nou sal leer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ek het met ons buurvrou wat 'n Graad 1 onderwyseres is, gepraat oor wat kinders moet weet wat Graad 1 toe gaan. Ek wil ook binnekort met 'n vriendin gaan praat wat Graad 1's het by D* P* Laerskool. Ek het artikels in Baba en Kleuter gekry van laasjaar oor wat kinders alles moet weet om Graad 1 toe te kan gaan.&lt;br /&gt;Ek het wel uitgevind dat 'n kind in Graad 0 net sy eie naam en van hoef te skryf. Hulle hoef nie te kan lees of ander letters van die alfabet te lees nie. Hulle leer meer foneties lees en leer eers in Graad 3 die ABC aangesien hulle dit nie vroeer nodig het nie. My vriendin wie se seun in Eduplex is, het dit vir my bevestig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wat ek geniet van die hele proses is om te sien hoe spontaan Simeon leer. Daar is geen druk nie, en geen moete nie. Hy wil leer en hy leer. Ek is al hoe meer oortuig dat ek wil homeschool en dat ek dit gaan doen. Ek sien veral nie kans dat Simeon in die skool vir sy spraak geterg gaan word nie. En ons weet dit gaan gebeur. Ek kan en ek wil Simeon emosioneel beskerm. Hy is nou nog so 'n spontane kind wat praat met alle mense. Ek is bang dat dit in die skool gaan verdwyn omdat hy elke dag met die spraakprobleem gekonfronteer gaan word. Die onderwyseres gaan hom nie verstaan nie en die kinders ook nie. Ek kan nie toelaat dat sy skoling (education) en sy opvoeding so negatief beinvloed gaan word nie, en dat my kind binnekort dit gaan haat nie. Hoekom eers begin en sien dat dit gebeur en hom dan uit die skool haal om te homeschool. Of nog erger, om hom soos ander voorgestel het, na spesiale skole toe te stuur. Wat gaan beteken dat ek moet gaan werk (in die geval van Eduplex wat R1 650,00 per maand kos) en dus Joshua by 'n dagmoeder moet los. Daar is in E* L* 'n ander skool maar ek oorweeg dit nie eens nie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ek skryf al hierdie dinge sodat jy weet ons nie sonder 'n plan is nie. Simeon gaan wel nie volgende jaar skool toe nie, maar hy gaan defnitief nie agter gelaat word nie.&lt;br /&gt;Ek is baie dankbaar vir wat die studente met Simeon doen. Ek het egter geweet dat hy sy kleure en vorms goed ken en dit was vir my snaaks dat hulle so verbaas was. Simeon se spraak het nie veroorsaak dat hy werklik agter geraak het nie. Sy woordeskat is ook goed aangesien hy baie belangstel in dinge en ons nooit met hom babataal gepraat het nie. Ek doen dit bietjie meer met Joshua aangesien ek net graag wil he dat hy moet woorde uiter, enige iets meer as net mamma, pappa, baba, ouma en eina. Doedoe en myne sal 'n oorwinning wees aangesien dit ander klanke is (so voel dit vir my).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit is vir daarom nie noodsaaklik dat Simeon leer lees en skryf hierdie jaar nie. Ander kinders hoef nie dit te leer nie en Simeon gaan gehomeschool word. Hy sal nie agter wees nie, en ons sal alles mettertyd leer. Ek voel dat dit tyd weg neem van die probleem wat aangespreek behoort te word en dit is die spraak. Dit is waaraan aandag gegee moet word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esther&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS. Ek raak maar baie moedeloos en hartseer as ek na my kinders luister, die familie se negatiewe kommentaar (wat hulle seker hoop positiewe gevolge sal he) en sien dat kinders nie met Simeon meer wil speel nie. Dit voel net of die oorwinnings so ver uitmekaar is en of ons nooit iets gaan bereik nie. Dit help darem dat ek ook daaroor met 'n berader kan praat. Plaas net dinge in perspektief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baie dankie&lt;br /&gt;Esther&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc99;"&gt;Ek hoop dat hierdie brief my posisie duidelik uitgespel het en dat hulle sal verstaan dat ek nie graag wil he dat Simeon gedwing word om te leer lees en skryf nie. Ek wil graag he dit moet spontaan gebeur en op 'n manier wat geen druk op Simeon plaas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc99;"&gt; nie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-2471035528180766431?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/2471035528180766431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/07/brief-aan-die-spraakterapeute.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/2471035528180766431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/2471035528180766431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/07/brief-aan-die-spraakterapeute.html' title='Brief aan die spraakterapeute'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-2097870442525024782</id><published>2010-07-13T13:42:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-13T13:45:05.346+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Ai Ai Ai</title><content type='html'>So, ons het verloor :-(.

En ons hoop van die beste vir more aand.&lt;br /&gt;"Oranje Boven"&lt;br /&gt;"Hup Holland"&lt;br /&gt;Maar nie die bekende hollandse "ole, ole, ole, ole...." sal mos nie werk teen die einste Spanjaarde nie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ek kyk nou maar na die wedstryd tussen Uruguay en Duitsland. Ek het nie gedink ek sal die Wêreldbeker Sokker so geniet nie. Het nie eens die openingswedstryd gesien nie. 'n Kuier saam met 'n vriendin en gesin na een jaar se weg-wees was baie belangriker.&lt;br /&gt;En toe kyk ek na 'n Holland vs ?? kan nie onthou nie. En ek begin sien waaroor sokker gaan. Dis 'n baie taktiese spel en dit help om 'n goeie span te hê om te ondersteun. Die lae tellings verstaan ek, die tekens van die skeidsregter ook al amper, maar ek verstaan nog nie mooi die "corners" nie. Maar dit sal kom.&lt;br /&gt;Miskien kies ek nog 'n plaaslike span om voor te skreeu...dalk.&lt;br /&gt;En ek sien ook waarom die mense kla oor die vuvuzelas. Kyk bietjie vorige wêreldbeker wedstryde en HOOR die ondersteuning van die toeskouers.&lt;br /&gt;Simeon kla oor die sokker. Sê hy hou nie daarvan nie en hy kyk eerder die rugby. Hy weet natuurlik nie eintlik waarvan hy praat nie aangesien ons nou nie uitstaan as 'n sport gesin nie. Maar die sokker maak inbreuk op die paar tv programme wat hy wel mag kyk, soms. Thabang Thabong, en die een program wat daarop volg (as ek dit goedkeur) en Handy Manny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So weereens - Oranje Boven en mag dit hierdie keer julle beurt wees!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-4583746221203662998?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/4583746221203662998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/07/oranje-boven_10.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/4583746221203662998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/4583746221203662998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/07/oranje-boven_10.html' title='Oranje Boven!!'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TDjMxqj_pAI/AAAAAAAAAHw/vtCbYf8l2zs/s72-c/Holland+Friesland.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-5131384877774248001</id><published>2010-07-06T00:42:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-06T00:53:33.950+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lees'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spontaan leer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ps 23'/><title type='text'>Psalm 24</title><content type='html'>Hierdie volgende storie moet ek net deel vanaand.

Ek lees uit die Kinderbybel en Johan lees 'n deel uit die Bybel. Ons lees dikwels een Bybelgedeelte - veral 'n Psalm - oor en oor indien dit van toepassing in ons lewens is. So het Simeon 'n paar jaar gelede Psalm 23 geleer - deurdat ons vir 'n week elke aan dit gelees het.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ons het nou besluit om elke aand 'n Psalm te lees. Daarna kry elkeen 'n kans om te bid. Die kinders hoor ons bid en ons kan hulle lei in hul gebed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laasweek wou Simeon weer teken maar ons papier raak min. Ek ontdek toe 'n boks met A5 advertensies van ons besigheid wat al verouderd is en gee dit aan hom. Hy hou nie van die klein papiertjies nie, maar ek wys hom toe hoe hy 'n boekie kan maak. En daar maak hy sy eie "Bybel".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TDJg2k5y_tI/AAAAAAAAAHg/27qDIL-Nm04/s1600/Simeon+se+Bybel.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 262px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 169px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490557386453352146" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TDJg2k5y_tI/AAAAAAAAAHg/27qDIL-Nm04/s320/Simeon+se+Bybel.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Met huisgodsdiens wil hy toe vir ons lees en "lees" toe Psalm 23 heeltemaal op sy eie. En verklaar ook sommer dat hy die volgende aand Psalm 24 sal lees - wat hy nie ken nie. Maar ons laat dit daar en begin bid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die volgende aand "lees" hy Psalm "24" - Hy wat in die skuilplek van die Allerhoogste sit, sal vernag in die skaduwee van die Almagtige. Ek besef dis Psalm 91, een van die Psalms wat ons graag herhaal as ons God vra vir beskerming. En so saam saam lees ons die hele Psalm oor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weereens besef ek net daar hoe ons kinders leer sonder dat ons dit besef. Die herhaling het dit in sy geheue vas begin lê. En ek gaan hom Psalm 24 ook leer, dit is net so mooi soos Psalm 23.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-5131384877774248001?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/5131384877774248001/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/07/psalm-24.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/5131384877774248001'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/5131384877774248001'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/07/psalm-24.html' title='Psalm 24'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TDJhsfGINkI/AAAAAAAAAHo/2cSTGEORbdA/s72-c/Simeon.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-5137004135169135141</id><published>2010-06-16T08:26:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-16T10:23:28.376+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Hier's ek weer</title><content type='html'>Ek is so bly om terug te wees.

Dit was 'n baie mooi afskeid en vir my bring hierdie dae nie baie hartseer nie. Op 31 Maart 2007 was al ons kinders en my ma langs my pa se hospitaalbed. Ons is toegelaat om die hele dag daar te bly en teen ongeveer 17:00 was my broer van Stellenbosch en my suster en gesin van Graaff-Reinet ook daar.&lt;br /&gt;Ons het Bybel gelees, Psalms gesing en gebid. Ek kan nou so glimlag oor my pa wat nie kon saam sing nie, maar sy voet het beweeg onder die laken.&lt;br /&gt;Die een ding wat ons altyd sal bybly van my pa was dat hy ritme gehou het met sy voet - kom van die trompet, tromboon en skuiftrompet speel dae. Ook dat hy kon harmoniseer, het nooit in die kerk die gewone wysie van 'n Psalm of Skrifberyming gesing nie. So mooi.&lt;br /&gt;Teen 19:00 was ons almal weg en die volgende oggend so teen 4:00 het hy gesterf. En net voor 6 het 'ons' gesin - ma en 4 volwasse kinders - om die eetkamertafel gesit, gesels en vir mekaar gesê hoe spesiaal dit was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sondagoggend 1 April 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hy kon gaan want ons was almal daar. En in my hart hoop ek (Hebr 11:1) dat ons eendag almal saam met hom by God mag wees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So 6 weke voor my pa se dood het God my voorberei. Nie soos ek dit wou hê nie. Ek het heelwat boeke oor die dood en nadood gelees. Ook die boek "Leer Hom Loof/Prison to Praise". En ek het God geloof vir my pa se genesing van kanker - wat versprei het van sy prostaat in sy blaas en nou in sy niere. En so "by the way" vir indien hy sou sterf. En ek het nie besef dat juis daardie laaste aksie vir my SO sou voorberei op sy dood nie.&lt;br /&gt;Ek het nie so baie gehuil nie, nie so baie getreur nie, was nie so baie hartseer nie. En so een of twee keer het ek dit gemis om so te kon treur. Maar in my was dit net nie. Maar ek het my pa net al hoe meer begin mis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vandag, toe ek my ken so op my 21 maande oue seuntjie, Joshua se kop laat rus, wou ek net huil. Sê, vra "Kom terug, Vader, asseblief?" Kom kyk hoe oulik is jou twee jongste kleinseuns. Kyk hoeveel het Joshua van ons. Hy sou hulle so geniet het. Maar ek weet, hy sal nie kom nie, want hy sal nie eens wil nie. Kom jul maar hierheen, sal hy sê.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En ja, Vader en Vader. My Vader - my God en my vader - my pa.&lt;br /&gt;Dis steeds vir my vreemd dat vader so 'n formele aanspreekvorm kan wees. Vir my is dit vol liefde, so vol lewe en so mooi, trots, fier, regop, sterk. My ouers het die aanspreekvorm gekies omdat "Pa" in Fries (Friesland in Nederland van waar hy kom) iets soos "die ouballie" by ons is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Vader / Pa en Oupa, ek mis jou so. Ek wens jy was hier. Maar jy't ons voorgegaan. Ons kom ook na ons Hemelse Vader toe, saam met jou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dankie vir alles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esther, Johan, Simeon en Joshua&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-4620217954957022630?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/4620217954957022630/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/04/herinneringe-aan-vader-en-oupa.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/4620217954957022630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/4620217954957022630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/04/herinneringe-aan-vader-en-oupa.html' title='Herinneringe aan Vader en Oupa'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/TBnY3NfsHSI/AAAAAAAAAHI/ABC8lCCTnkw/s72-c/Vader+teken2.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-3058806763612086802</id><published>2010-03-07T16:29:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-03-07T17:18:59.722+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Border Bullies - of te wel die wat jou besluite bevraagteken</title><content type='html'>Ons was nou onlangs met Simeon by 'n Pediatriese Neuroloog by 'n staatshospitaal.  Dit was 'n verwysing deur die spraakterapeute wat graag wil weet of sy brein die boodskappe van luister en praat reg verwerk.  Dit het gevoel of hulle my derms uitryg, aangesien hulle baie vrae gevra het.  Hy moet 25 Maart 'n MRI breinskandering kry - onder narkose (gas) anders kan hy beweeg.&lt;br /&gt;Daarna wou hulle weet waar Simeon skool gaan.  Ek begin die nut insien om mens se homeschool 'n naam te gee.  So kan mens weg kom met ongemaklike vrae.  Iets soos "Olyfboompies Voorskoolsentrum" (Ps 128) en dis 'n privaat insteling klink beter as homeschool.  My huis is mos privaat.  Dit kan uitgebrei word na laerskool en hoërskool.&lt;br /&gt;En daar kry ek 'n hele ding oor die sosialiseringsaspek van hs.  Dokters in staatshospitale lyk my grootliks hoofstroom en wyk nie af van die staatsmodelle nie.&lt;br /&gt;En kan julle glo hulle sê hulle sal hom evalueer oor 'n tydperk en dan moet daar besluite geneem word.  Amper op 'n trant van hulle sal besluit en ek sal daarby moet inval.  En sê ek moet die hs heroorweeg.   Stel toe Eduplex voor, 'n privaatskool wat veral spesialiseer in kinders met ADD/ADHD probleme lyk my.  Maandelikse skoolgeld R1650!!!! Plus adminfooi en plekbespreekfooi vir die volgende jaar.  Om dit te kan doen sal ek moet gaan werk, Joshua by 'n dagmoeder los en dan praat ons nie van die stadsverkeer, my baie beperkte klerekas wat uitgebrei sal moet word, ens.&lt;br /&gt;En hierdie is alles ongevraagde inligting.  Ek is daar vir die evaluering van my kind se brein.  Ek het nooit raad gevra oor my keuse van skoling van my kind.  Ek het eintlik geen raad gevra nie.  Dis 'n probleem as mens self dokters as konsultante in jou en jou gesin se gesondheid begin sien, en hulle dink nog hulle het alle mag in die hand.&lt;br /&gt;Ek hoop net nie ons het ons hiermee oop gestel vir vrae van die staat af oor hs nie.  Maar gelukkig kan ek net sê:  "Moenie met my praat nie, praat met my regsverteenwoordiger."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dilemma 1&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br /&gt; Ek wonder of ons maar hier 'n paar veranderings moet aanbring en weer anoniem moet wees nie.  Sal dit ons beskerm?  Maar ek voel tog ek wil opstaan vir wat ek wil doen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boonop wil hulle hê ek moet vra vir 'n voorskrif van Risperdal.  Hulle dring amper daarop aan.  Wil dit voorskryf.  Medikasie wat vir volwasse psigotiese pasiente voorgeskryf word.  Kinders kry net 'n baie klein dosis.  Dis omdat almal Simeon as hiperaktief beleef.  Dis nou hoe hy optree die oomblik as hy onder druk geplaas word en net as hy nie by die huis is nie.&lt;br /&gt;Nog iets waarvoor ek glad nie gevra het nie, en nie eens in gedagte gehad het nie.  Een van die groot redes waarom ons ook homeschool.  By die huis is daar geen druk nie.&lt;br /&gt;Hulle het geen voorstelle oor dieet en gedragsverandering gemaak nie.  Niks gevra oor ons program in die dag en Simeon se aktiwiteite nie, of hoeveel tv hy kyk nie.  En toe ek daaroor vra was die antwoord dat dit niks sal verander nie.&lt;br /&gt;VET CHEAK!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Simeon was 'n baie rustige baba wat maklik geslaap het en ook baie nie baie aktief was en steeds nie is nie.  Ek het van die begin af gesê ek sal lag as iemand hom ooit diagnoseer met ADD.  En nou lag ek glad nie, ek is kwaad.&lt;br /&gt;Hier moet ek erken dat ek besef het dat baie geleidelik die televisie (net dvd's en videos) vir my 'n kinderoppasser geword het.  Ek het dit begin misbruik om nie die aanhoudende gepraat stil te maak.  En ek het ook nie baie goed gekyk na hoe Simeon eet nie.  Nadat ek dit verander het het baie dinge al verbeter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dilemma 2:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  Risperdal.  En die ding dat elke halwe kind met ADD/ADHD gediagnoseer word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ek wil nie Simeon aan klasse van 28 of 36 of 42 kinders blootstel nie.  Ek WIL hom nou beskerm teen die wreedheid van kinders wat hom sal spot oor sy spraak (nie weghou van ander nie).   Ek wil nie dat hy gedruk word om te leer lees nie, indien hy nie wil nie.  Hy wil nou net skryf en nie lees nie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maar ek gaan my nie steur aan boelies, maar net hul vrae en besware gebruik om my besluit beter te verwoord vir myself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-3058806763612086802?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/3058806763612086802/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/03/border-bullies-of-te-wel-die-wat-jou.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/3058806763612086802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/3058806763612086802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/03/border-bullies-of-te-wel-die-wat-jou.html' title='Border Bullies - of te wel die wat jou besluite bevraagteken'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-6046037516543143244</id><published>2010-03-02T11:42:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-10T21:32:48.793+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Daai "wonderlike ding" genaamd VIRUS</title><content type='html'>So, na 'n hele paar weke se sukkel en die verlies van baie data en 'n klompie fotos is ek weer terug. Ai, nou soek ek maar wat ek verloor het. En oor dit wat altyd weg is, huil ek nie meer lang trane nie. Een van die dae kom Jesus weer en is al hierdie dinge nie meer van belang nie. Dan word alles op aarde vernietig en bly ons in heerlikheid by die enige God en Vader. En gelukkig is die blog in cyber space en is dis nie verlore nie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dinge wat eers so belangrik lyk is later nie meer so erg nie. Ons het 'n paar jaar gelede Simeon se fotos verloor van hy so 10 dae oud was tot op 3 maande. Eers was dit baie erg, en steeds sou ek dit graag wil terug hê. Maar na 'n paar jaar is dit nie meer so belangrik nie. Ons het steeds mooi fotos en baie meer as mense jare gelede gehad het. En ook maar goed daar is geen fotos van Jesus se tyd op aarde. Anders het mense daarvan ook heilige aanbiddingsmiddele gemaak.&lt;br /&gt;Nou kan elke mens Jesus sien soos Hy is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ek is net bly om weer van elkeen te lees. Ek het dit die meeste gemis. Die vriende wat ek gemaak het deur blogging.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-6046037516543143244?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/6046037516543143244/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/03/daai-wonderlike-ding-genaamd-virus.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/6046037516543143244'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/6046037516543143244'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/03/daai-wonderlike-ding-genaamd-virus.html' title='Daai &quot;wonderlike ding&quot; genaamd VIRUS'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-867648029053195207</id><published>2010-01-31T23:06:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-02-01T00:19:11.716+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='homeschool'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charlotte Mason'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Karen Andreola'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pestalozzi Trust'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aha oomblik'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vrae'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rigting soek'/><title type='text'>Rigting vir ons homeschooling</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;Ek het my voorgeneem om myself 6 maande tyd te gee om rigting te soek vir die homeschooling. Dis nou nadat ek opgehou werk het en ons na Gauteng getrek het. Ons het intussen onder andere gelees, gespeel, tv programme (deur my gekies) en dvd's gekyk, en spraakterapie begin vir albei seuns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die inligtingsdag van Pestalozzi Trust het my baie antwoorde gegee maar ook nog meer vrae&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;En die beste van alles die boek uit hul biblioteek "The Charlotte Mason Companion" van Karen Andreola.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;Die boek het die meeste van my vrae beantwoord. Ek het die boek baie geniet, dit twee keer deur gelees en baie aantekeninge gemaak. Wat vir my interessant is, is dat die boek vir my die antwoorde gegee het van wat ek wil doen en hoe om dit te doen, &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;die aha oomblik&lt;/span&gt; vir homeschooling vir my. Vir nou. Maar op iemand anders se blog het ek gelees dat selfs nadat hulle baie boeke gelees het en onder andere die bogenoemde boek, sy steeds soek na die hoe? vir hulle homeschooling. 'n Goeie bewys dat ons almal verskillend is en dit verskillend wil doen, en dat elkeen vir hul eie huis en kinders die regte ding wil en kan doen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charlotte Mason se metode soos deur Karen Andreola beskryf, kan soos volg opgesom word:&lt;br /&gt;Lees baie 'Living, Whole' boeke&lt;br /&gt;Laat die kinders dit weergee in sy eie woorde - dws 'narrate'&lt;br /&gt;Skryf werk - iets wat ons bietjie sal los vir eers aangesien ek glo in 'Better Late than Early' met my seuns&lt;br /&gt;Skildery bestudering -'Picture Study' - kyk na skildery en vertel in eie woorde wat hy sien&lt;br /&gt;Musiekwaardering&lt;br /&gt;Griekse Mitologie - ek sal nog oor hierdie een besluit&lt;br /&gt;Feëverhale - ek sal dit maar baie sif&lt;br /&gt;Poësie/Gedigte/Digkuns&lt;br /&gt;Shakespeare&lt;br /&gt;Geskiedenis deur veral biografieë en fiksie&lt;br /&gt;Natuurstudie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ek hoop ek het alles hier reg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ons gaan nou hierdie metode aanpas en gebruik in 'n tipe unschool in ons huis. Unschool op 'n Charlotte Mason manier. Nie so gestruktureerd soos haar metodes destyds was nie, maar ook nie so ongestruktureerd soos unschool nie. Ek voel op die manier tuis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ek het ook die boek 'School can Wait' uitgeneem maar ek kon dit net nie gelees kry nie. Dit wou nie vloei nie. Dalk omdat die CM boek meer antwoorde gegee het oor 'hoe?'. Ek weet nie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nou lees ek 'Karen Andreola's Pocketful of Pinecones - Nature Study with the Gentle Art of Learning'. En 'For the Children's sake' van Susan Schaeffer Macaulay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volgende keer skryf ek oor hoe ons dit begin toepas het en wat sover 'n sukses is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-867648029053195207?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/867648029053195207/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/01/rigting-vir-ons-homeschooling.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/867648029053195207'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/867648029053195207'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2010/01/rigting-vir-ons-homeschooling.html' title='Rigting vir ons homeschooling'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-7024376784041418440</id><published>2010-01-20T21:37:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-01-20T21:49:09.052+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='verandering'/><title type='text'>Verandering = vakansie???</title><content type='html'>Ek weet nie so mooi van daardie ene nie, maar ek het besluit sekere dinge hier moet verander.  Toe ek begin het om te blog, was ek nuut in hierdie goed.  Ek het 'n paar jaar gelede probeer maar ek en rekenaars is nie altyd maats nie.  Iets gaan maar baie keer skeef.  (kan jul glo ek het al weer my yahoo naam vergeet, ek weet nie hoeveel ek al het nie)&lt;br /&gt;Nou is 'n blog oor net my homeschool journey te eng en ek wil meer skryf, meer oor my lewe.  Ek het 'n paar ander blogs waar ek nog nie iets noemenswaardig geskryf het nie.  So, nou gaan ek dit kombineer.&lt;br /&gt;Ek het ook besluit dit raak te moeilik om totaal anoniem te bly.  Koninkje is Simeon, nou 5 jaar en 7 maande en Hufet is Joshua, nou 1 jaar en 7 maande.  Dit was nie so beplan nie maar hulle verjaar, agv 'n nood-geboorte, 1 dag uit mekaar.&lt;br /&gt;My naam is Esther, maar ek hou maar by AutumnVine.  Die hersblare in die hexrivier by De Doorns sal my altyd by bly.  Ons moet die lote wees ingeplant op Jesus, die wingerdstok.  Ek is mal oor kleure, ek wil nie net altyd groen wees nie.  Nee, oranje is nou my gunsteling.  As ek soos my PinkHairGirl vriendin was... wel ek dink oranje hare is dalk bietjie te erg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later nog meer veranderinge.  Amper 'n vakansie werd.

Laat hulle teken - wat gebeur in die storie of iets anders.  Hulle kan beweeg, swaai, rol, bollemakiesie slaan.  Of dalk soos Simeon kaartjies speel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Hulle mag net nie praat of raas nie.  'n Groot probleem met Simeon wat eintlik pratende speel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daarna &lt;/strong&gt;vertel die kind die verhaal terug.  Maar dit is nie 'n toets of 'n begripstoets.  Dis 'n informele vertelling van een kind oor wat in die storie gebeur het.  In sy eie woorde.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Dit ontwikkel auditiewe persepsie.  Brei woordeskat uit.  Dis belangrik vir denke.  Formulering van gedagtes.  Die kind leer wat belangrik is, wat is sekondêr.  En wat is die belangrike feite in die storie.  Hulle leer logiese volgorde.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Moenie die kind reg help nie.  Hy gee dit weer in sy eie woorde.  Daarna kan 'n ander kind dalk net byvoeg of sy idees gee.  Maar hy mag nie die eerste verteller kritiseer of reg help nie.

G'n niks lus vir niks nie. Behalwe lees oor homeschool. Dit bly interessant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Die werkswinkel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wat vir my die lekkerste was van die werkswinkel was dat die van Oostrums nie 'n formele kurrikulum volg nie. Die enigste twee formele vakke wat hulle dogters het is musiek en wiskunde. En selfs daarin is dit informeel. Een van hul dogters het vir 2 jaar geen wiskunde gedoen nie. Net gespeel, fiets gery, skaatsplank geleer, geklim en klouter, ens. Na twee jaar het sy weg gespring en alles binne 'n kort tyd weer ingehaal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nadat Leendert die bogenoemde aan baie belangrike mense in die opvoeding vertel het, het 'n hoë wiskundige gesê dat sy wel besig was met wiskunde. Die praktiese sy daarvan. Die ruimtelike orientasie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dis die een rede waarom ons sal hoor mense sê hulle is nie wiskundig aangelê nie. Almal leer deur eers iets te leer en daarna prakties uit te werk. Ons sien dit baie goed in babas. Hulle leer iets en dan lyk dit of daar niks gebeur nie. Die leerkurwe word gevolg deur 'n afplatting of assimulasie. Verwerking van dit wat geleer is. Groei en konsolidasie. Wat gebeur in die skool...? Daar is nie tyd om "niks" te doen nie. Die werk gaan aan. Jy het miskien 'n paar maande of dalk 'n twee jaar verwerkingsperiode gehad. En toe jy wil voort gaan, was die klas net te ver voor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 'n klaskamer kan onderwysers nie die 30 of 40 kinders se verskillende leerkurwes in ag neem nie. En dink net, vir elke "vak" het mens nog verskillene leerkurwes ook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die lekker van homeschool is dat ouers hierdie leerkurwes van hulle kinders in ag kan neem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hierdie informele aanslag van die van Oostrums het my baie goed gepas. So kon Pappa Johan ook sien dat dit nie so erg is om nie 'n formele program te volg nie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Die groot konsolidasie fase in kinders:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit vind plaas hier van 11 - 15 jaar.  Ons noem dit puberteit.  Kinders het baie dinge uit te sorteer.  Hulle het tyd nodig, om hul eie dinge te doen, te dagdroom en in eie geselskap deur te bring.  Geen gejaag nie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As hul uit die fase kom, neem hul gewoonlik verantwoordelikheid vir hul eie onderrig.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-5513197355193685961?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/5513197355193685961/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2009/12/nog-werkswinkel-feite.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/5513197355193685961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/5513197355193685961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2009/12/nog-werkswinkel-feite.html' title='Nog werkswinkel feite'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-346854948375240061</id><published>2009-12-03T22:22:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-27T16:08:30.792+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Praktiese raad wat ons by die werkswinkel gekry het gaan my nou baie help. Een van die onderwerpe wat behandel sou word is kurrikulums. Ek was nogal bang dat ons sou toe gegooi word met verskillende opsies wat baie belowend lyk. Die teendeel was dat dat geen kurrikulum eens genoem is nie. Die volgende voorstelle is gemaak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lees baie vir jou kinders. Selfs al kan hulle reeds lees hou kinders steeds daarvan. Ek moet bieg dat ek steeds daarvan hou dat my ma stories vir my kinders lees. Ek kan ure na haar stem luister en dit neem my na baaaiiieee jare gelede...op die plot... om die tafel in die kombuis, of in ons kamer...stories...van der Hulst...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lees dus 'n minimum van 1 uur per dag vir jou kinders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;70% daarvan stories, kortverhale, gedigte, liedjies - dit stimuleer verbeelding, en dit help weer met skeppende denke, wat weer probleemoplossings aanhelp. Dit word gebruik in die wetenskap, sakewereld, intrepreneurskap.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;30% Biografieë -d.w.s lewensverhale van mense, Reisverhale, Natuur ens. Hier is 'n atlas en aardbol van ontskatbare waarde aangesien dit geskiedenis en aardrykskunde is.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Onthou: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jy besluit wat jy vir hom wil lees. Later kan hy bepaal, maar hierdie uur is 'joune'. Mens lees natuurlik altyd wat die kinders in belangstel.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Die kind moet nie gedwing word om stil te sit nie. Hulle kan teken, speel, bollemakiesie slaan, solank hulle nie steur en lawaai nie. Kinders neem baie meer so in.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Daarna moet hy dit terug vertel - dis nie 'n begripstoets nie, maar informele gesprek&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;'n Kind se ouditiewe persepsie ontwikkel so, sy woordeskat, wat denke aanhelp.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kinders leer wat is belangrik en wat is sekondêr.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Leer artikuleer en formuleer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Leer om logiese volgorde te handhaaf&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-346854948375240061?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/346854948375240061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2009/12/praktiese-raad-wat-ons-by-die.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/346854948375240061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/346854948375240061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2009/12/praktiese-raad-wat-ons-by-die.html' title=''/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-4163088153132390707</id><published>2009-12-02T21:02:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-12-02T22:50:31.714+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Tuisonderrig werkswinkel</title><content type='html'>Saterdag het ons die werkswinkel van Pestalozzi Trust bygewoon. Dit was baie insiggewend en ek sal so iets aanraai aan almal wat dit kan doen. Veral in die begin om jou te help om besluite te neem. Dit was veral vir my man 'n goeie ding aangesien hy nog nie so oortuig is van home schooling nie. Hier is Leendert van Oostrum besig om ons 'n paar skokkende dinge oor 'n skoolhandboek te vertel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 136px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410718531017893954" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sxa71jTx6EI/AAAAAAAAAGM/GK5cYrUOlc8/s200/Leendert.JPG" /&gt; Wat vir my van belang was is dat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ons kinders 16 loopbaan veranderings gaan maak (nie werksveranderings nie)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Inligting teen 'n spoed verouder&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ons kinders moet weet waar om geldige, betroubare, relevante inligting te bekom&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daar is 'n verskil tussen opleiding en opvoeding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Opleiding &lt;/strong&gt;is waar mens van buite af kyk. Soek 'n leemte in die mark, ondersoek dit, skryf opleidingsmateriaal /kurrikulum, lei opleiers op, leer dit aan studente.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Opvoeding&lt;/strong&gt; is die teenoorgestelde. Mens kyk nie na die omgewing maar na die student. In ons geval na jou eie kind. Kyk na sy talente, gawes, persoonlikheid, potensiaal. Dan ontwikkel mens die kind maksimaal. So 'n persoon kan homself help in 'n veranderende wereld.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Die persoon wat so opgevoed is, lei homself op. Hy kan sy eie beroep skep. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leendert het daarna gesê dat as jy nie opvoeding &lt;strong&gt;en&lt;/strong&gt; opleiding aan jou kind kan gee nie, gee hom dan die opvoeding en los die opleiding vir hom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;So tussendeur het Koninkje die kamera beet gekry en 'n paar fotos geneem - nee, eintlik baie, maar net 'n paar is bruikbaar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Die werkswinkel deur die oë van 'n tuisskool kind. &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Lightning McQueen moet die pad wat hy gebreek het weer reg maak. Maar dit vat te lank om dit te teer. Hy gebruik dus al sy perdekrag om die pad vinnig klaar te maak. Ongelukkig is die pad vol hobbels.&lt;br /&gt;Tannie Liezl het vir sy verjaarsdag 'n stelletjie werksvoertuie gegee, padrollers, stootskrapers ens.

Kyk die 'blou bulle' en 'cheetas'. Ons is nie groot sportkykers nie, dus weet hy nie daar is eintlik net twee pale nie. Maar hy het die vorms reg. En dit na net 'n kort rukkie se wedstryd kyk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My uno jenga is daarmee heen, maar vandat dit ontdek is het dit al 'n baie goeie doel gedien. Paaie, mense, tolhekke, vliegtuie, karretjies, rugbypale, huise, ens.... So, eendag sal ek maar weer 'n stel gaan koop. O, ek het van die verkeerslig vergeet. Uit sy eie het Koninkje groen, geel en rooi blokkies bo-op mekaar gestapel en vertel dis die verkeerslig van Radiator Springs. (te sien net agter die pers pale. Hier dien dit egter die doel van die groot ligte.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow, ek besef my kind het heelwat gesien wat ek nie eens aan hom uitgewys het nie. Die wonders van 'n kind se waarnemingsvermoë. Dit is iets wat ek die meeste geniet van homeschool. Dat mens soveel meer die wêreld deur jou kinders se oë kan sien en ontdek. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1633522613113109706-3177219054705370979?l=huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/feeds/3177219054705370979/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2009/11/speel-speel-uitspeel.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/3177219054705370979'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1633522613113109706/posts/default/3177219054705370979'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://huistuis-unschool.blogspot.com/2009/11/speel-speel-uitspeel.html' title='Speel-speel uitspeel'/><author><name>AutumnVine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03331667429931602049</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/So4yqHN8K9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JbXvxO83IBw/S220/mammamiemie-blog.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sw9_F-umkXI/AAAAAAAAAE8/qvp85hgto5Q/s72-c/McQ+Simeon+bou.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633522613113109706.post-2543174163180252850</id><published>2009-11-25T22:24:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-11-25T23:43:49.026+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dit het baie gehelp'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='teken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='emosies'/><title type='text'>Teken, teken, teken</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Die laaste 2 weke wil Koninkje net teken.

Hy skry &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sw2ZwzWc2zI/AAAAAAAAAEk/bJHyAnVRpos/s1600/paddaspronge.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;f 'smjj' en dink dat hy ons almal se name skryf - of soms dink hy dis sy eie naam. Hy het eers mooi die drie medeklinkers van sy naam reg gehad en dan een van die klinkers voor en een aan die einde geskryf. Maar na boetie se geboorte wou hy die ander name ook weet. Hy neem dus die eerste letter van elkeen van se naam om sy eie naam nou te skryf.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Die m staan vir mamma en nie my naam nie. Hier langsaan is 'n foto van ons oefeninge om die m te bemeester. 'n Speletjie van padda spronge en 'n springkaan.

Die bobbejaan hou 'n bord op sy skoot en 'n mes en vurk is regop. Ek hoop net nie die piesang vind die hele etery te onaangenaam nie. Miskien glimlag hy want hy weet net nog nie....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ek vind dit ook 'n goeie medium om sy aandag af te trek. Sodra hy iets wil doen wat ek nie graag wil hê nie, haal ek die papier en kryte uit en teken iets. Hy val byna altyd dadelik in om ook te teken. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Of as emosies hom wil oorweldig dan vra ek dat hy dit teken. Dit werk ook baie goed, veral as hy vir my kwaad is. Soos hy sê: Ek hou nie nou baie van jou nie. Dan sê ek maar "dis ok, maar ek is steeds lief vir jou." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dit het baie vir ons gehelp toe ek vir hom begin sê dat ek altyd lief is vir hom, maar ek hou dalk net nie altyd van wat hy doen nie. Of of 'n gegewe moment hou ek nie baie van hom nie. Dit is nou as hy baie ongehoorsaam was of laatmiddag wanner hy klierig / sagerynig (nederlands vir moeilik) word.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sw2XRPlFcJI/AAAAAAAAADs/sbVqEgkw2Fg/s1600/ongelukkige+seuntjie.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 230px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408145050037481618" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sw2XRPlFcJI/AAAAAAAAADs/sbVqEgkw2Fg/s320/ongelukkige+seuntjie.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ek wil graag hê hy moet eendag verstaan dat ons altyd vir die wat naby ons is lief het, maar dat daar soms tye is wat ons voel ons hou nie van hulle nie. So skei ek twee emosies / gevoelens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier het hy vir my geteken hoe ongelukkig ek hom gemaak het omdat hy nie iets mag gedoen het nie. "Jy maak my nou baie ongelukkig"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ek het een keer begin om landerye met groente en vrugte op te teken. En 'n mooi voëlverskrikker. Hy het dadelik saam begin teken en sommer leiding oor geneem. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sw2f9fstdXI/AAAAAAAAAEs/Fjr_E7RFbT4/s1600/boerdery.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 230px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408154606371698034" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sw2f9fstdXI/AAAAAAAAAEs/Fjr_E7RFbT4/s320/boerdery.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sy voëlverskrikker was net baie lelik na aanleiding van 'n storie wat ons regtig baie lank gelede gelees het. Hy moes iets onthou het daarvan, en dat die ding lelik moet wees, anders skrik die voëls nie daarvoor nie. Na die tyd het ek altwee op gehang, maar gou agter gekom dat hy na myne verwys as die mooie en syne die lelike. Dus het myne maar stilletjies verdwyn.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Die boer het tamaties, aarbeie, kool, boontjies en nog meer. En die m'e bo is voëls wat verby vlieg. Daar is selfs besproeiing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Laasweek Sondagoggend het sleg begin met heelwat emosies - weet nie waarvandaan dit kom nie. Maar so 'n klein lyfie kan darem baie opbou. Ek het tyd aan ander dinge bestee, maar niks wou reg kom nie. Gemoedere het hoog geloop. Ek het die potlode gegryp en 'n groot hart geteken soos 'n vulkaan wat baie liefde soos lawa uit spoeg. So in sy belangstellingslyn. Gou-gou was alles vergete en die getekende papiere het weer meer geword.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hierdie week gaan ons 'n tydperk van verf in. Maar nou eers nog tekeninge:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sw2XRduCtXI/AAAAAAAAAD0/4MpHcN_DrYU/s1600/see+toneel.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 233px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408145053833147762" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sw2XRduCtXI/AAAAAAAAAD0/4MpHcN_DrYU/s320/see+toneel.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Die storie van Spongebob Square pants op tv by ons "vakansie hou plek" het baie tekeninge en gesprekke tot gevolg gehad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Soos wat van as ons onder die see sou leef. My antwoord, dan het ons kiewe in ons wange gehad. Ek verduidelik dan van hoe visse asem haal en hoe ons, walvisse en dolfyne asem haal. Iewers sal dit alles inslag vind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sw2XRPlFcJI/AAAAAAAAADs/sbVqEgkw2Fg/s1600/ongelukkige+seuntjie.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dis 'n kar op 'n ronde boogbrug (ook 'n huisie se dak). Alles onder die see. Links van die huis is 'n seester.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sw2XR8HJYNI/AAAAAAAAAEE/9IjavzC_6mM/s1600/huis+en+kar.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 225px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408145061991506130" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mWNkgwzilU/Sw2XR8HJYNI/AAAAAAAAAEE/9IjavzC_6mM/s320/huis+en+kar.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Een van Koninkje se verhaaltekeninge. Dit het die Opvoedkundige Sielkundige baie bekommerd gehad. Die feit dat Koninkje so vreeslik 'krabbel' en niks duidelik teken nie. Ek het daaroor gewonder totdat ek later eendag op die mat langs hom gelê het. Hy sal iets moois begin teken. Dan sal ek dink hy is klaar, maar nee, nou kan hy begin storie vertel. En aan die eindelyk die tekening baie erger as die een hier.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Soms red ek maar 'n tekening. Hierdie een is 'n trekker.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;En vir die wat gewonder het oor die lang stilte:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ons was met vakansie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My lugtyd w
