It's a little hard to share a photo of Jay's work life achievements - so many - but nothing that is photographable (one of the myriad of things he does in his after work hours life, is run an online Lego brick store). </div><div>I can show a visual of one of Daisy's glass stained pieces (she purchased and now runs a business that has been in operation for over 25 years in New Zealand) and she continues to create art pieces (a few commissioned) and lovely journaling notebooks each year</div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In previous years we preferred to ramp the subjects back up slowly but have found that is not really possible with Te Kura, so we try to make as many adjustments as we can: no extracurricular courses or activities in the first term and only sign up to start three subjects with Tekura, then once we have those up and running we reevaluate in March to see if the children have the space and energy to add on more which is usually something like a Barista course, Red Shirts with the Warehouse, First Aid Course, etc...</span><br />

I had a folder filled with options for crafts that Daisy would love, colouring or paint, cutting and glueing - which a kindergarten teacher purchased off me years later in a box of pre-school 'teaching' tools - I guess I could have saved myself the hours of fun compiling those pages if All About Learning to Read's <a href="https://blog.allaboutlearningpress.com/abc-crafts-uppercase/" target="_blank">ABC craft pages</a> had been available back then.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">a sober, harrowing, and gritty listen. The love, care and respect this family have for one is heartening – along with their deeply held Buddhist faith – those traits seem to undergird the incredible resilience Teeda's family required to endure each next heartache and hardship. The fact that all, bar one member of their family group make it through that holocaust seems miraculous. Although the writing may not rank as the very best in literary terms, I felt compelled to keep reading. This is a story that stays with you, long after the last word is read. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">(Extra: while the author/s detail the atrocities of a despotic, genocidal, regime it is done in a more sobering, factual tone without “glorifying” the very real horror or the gore of the events taking place. Beheadings, mass murders, the horrors of slavery, an account of gang rape, the desperation and vulnerability of fleeing refugees.)</span> </div>

<br />
Daisy is making steady and good progress in NCEA Maths. The lack of clear, in-depth instruction, and then the volume of work given to complete does not match up; it's often a case of trying to find clear instructions of how to work the maths equations elsewhere. Khan Academy is often a sanity saver!<br />
<br />
Digital Studies is the NCEA subject she finds the most enjoyable and has completed these, pre-set, assignments in lately: Design a greeting card - we did laugh over this one as she does much better card crafting by hand, not digitally - design an advertising poster for a bake sale, and, design a certificate.<br />

Jay is not doing any of those things ;0) He is doing self-directed studies - no set university courses for him - and is studying diligently. As a family, we are continuing to work on building our new home and that keeps us all busy outside of learning hours.<br />
Home educating has definitely gifted Jay with the drive and passion to be a lifelong learner and it's encouraging to see him set up reading schedules, makes my planner's heart skip, and create course outlines and end goals. I have to add though, that the 2 years we spent doing some schoolwork via Te Kura was not fun for him, or me. It drains all the joy out of learning when you don't gel to the way lessons are being taught (not much teaching happens with Te Kura's course work) and the content is presented in the driest, dullest traditional schooling format. So for others that feel like they are going through teeth pulling times with their highschool level students, be encouraged: most people work with much more enthusiasm over tasks that are centred around something they are keenly interested in. It's where we are with Jay now.<br />
Here is a small glimpse into the reading area of his self-directed studies.<br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">This is a post in progress where I will be archiving the items Daisy (16yrs) may, or may not, read during the next three terms this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Many of the titles we have selected out she'll be reading, and then discussing with me as she goes through each book. Some of the topics in these books are gritty, and very mature - if we don't feel Daisy's ready to read and discuss things covered in each title in depth we'll adjust the depth of content being covered, in those books, as we go along. I do believe in preparing children to discuss gritty/raw/disturbing things that can happen in life; but, not in traumatising them, nor in presenting topics before each student is mature enough to handle grown-up issues. I thought one literature provider, Sonlight, used to really push the envelope on presenting mature/difficult/growing up issues before most children are ready: I used to save the too-much-to-soon titles in SL's literature packages until a needed level of maturation had been reached to deal with some topics - every child is different - and other books we skipped altogether. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Two years from now I'll be donning the badge of homeschool mum emeritus.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With Jay (just turned 18) focusing on self-directed studies in Economics, and working part-time, I have just Daisy to facilitate highschool subjects for this year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It feels a little surreal to be in the last few years of our family's home educating journey. When we received our exemption to home educate Jay, way back in 2006, the task to educate him seemed to stretch out so far in front of me - and while difficult terms felt longer than they were, the cumulative years of educating at home have gone by so quickly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">People ask me what I'm going to do once I've finished homeshooling the children. A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. There are so many things I could be doing - it will be interesting to see how the post homeschooling years play out ..... though I am hoping to take, at least, a few weeks off to clear away the-educating-at-home debris (-: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, between now and then Daisy and I have a lot to achieve.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had to wait until Daisy turned 16 before we could enroll her as a young adult student with (<a href="http://www.tekura.school.nz/assets/publications/Choice.pdf" target="_blank">The New Zealand Correspondence School</a>) Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu - Te Kura for short. Once her enrollment was accepted we elected for Daisy to work in only three <a href="http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/ncea/" target="_blank">NCEA</a> subjects this year (Maths, English, and Digital Studies), which is gifting her with time to pursue other areas of interest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As an aside: the children's birthdays are two years and two days apart - hence the shared birthday cake beneath.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few NZ home educators ask why (?) we choose to unsubscribe from being registered homeschoolers and enroll the children as young adult students with Te Kura. Though homeschooled students, 16yrs and older, can enroll to study in one or two subjects with Te Kura and still receive the home educating allowance, we find it is more beneficial for our family to have access to the interesting, and sometimes very expensive - though free to us - extras Te Kura offer young adults studying three or more subjects.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">IE: The Star Courses. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Along with a few other worthy courses available in 2016-17, Jay also did a retail experience course, Red Shirts with The Warehouse, which he found very insightful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Daisy is keen to complete the Barista, and, the Red Cross First Aid courses.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Another extra …. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">I’m endeavouring to listen through Susan Bauer’s podcasts on Rethinking School. Links below.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">(For teacher/outschooling friends: the interviews are not a negative hate on all things out school ☺ the podcasts are on making the way we educate/school each child work for them personally. I don't agree with some of Andrew Kern's theologically input, shrug, ymmv. )<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 18px;">The first podcast encouraged me to want to read through Bauer's book</span><br />

<b>Update:</b> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Despite the fact that</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">I’m not the target audience for this book - we’re nearing the end of our home educating; and, are not US based - <b><i>Rethinking Schoo</i>l</b> was an easy and engaging listen. Understandably, portions of this book are American, K-12 grade schooling, centric. Chapter 21 was of the most interest to me, especially since Ds is taking a road less travelled after highschool, which does not include University.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">There are some help filled suggestions in this book which would make it an excellent read for someone newer to home educating, or whose children are younger or pre-teen, or those who are wrestling with their child’s brick and mortar schooling or in their own homeschooling journey. Sometimes we can get stuck in a rut, that the route we are taking is the only one, and can not see the wood for the trees: to have someone who is further ahead of us in the educate-the-children journey offer some concrete suggestions can be a game changer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We are currently three weeks ahead with our proposed literature/Church History schedule for books to study/read and Daisy has completed one of her English courses, Essentials in Literature, for this year, and has a few weeks worth of work left to complete on the other one, Essentials in Writing.<br />
Jay is taking a much slower pace with Te Kura (NCEA) based subjects than we had imagined at the beginning of the year due to other educational irons, of his own interest, he has in the fire.<br />
I'm not going to talk much about Te Kura based NCEA courses until we've completed our journey; however, I will say we've been tempted to ditch the whole NCEA, credit collecting, process for Jay a time or two :-P<br />
<br />
And as promised, in a previous post, a few pictures of our nosy cows. Whatever we're doing they want to see or, worse, be involved in it.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Winter builds, that are accompanied by excessive rain and the resulting mud, are such fun </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> ;-P </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Adding to the fun is the irritating fact that our small herd of cows are <i>determined</i> to get into whichever paddock you are working in: and, they've managed to Houdini themselves through the fences a few time to get on to the building site. Nosy & naughty. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I may add some photos of them another day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Needless to say the weeks feel like they have speed up a bit more for our family, but as we're on a one way trip we're electing to enjoy the journey.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here is our month ahead and the items in our home educating book baskets; some of the titles still being read are from last month, along with any </span><b style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">new</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">books, listed in bold type, to be read</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">in August</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Beneath are our initial literary/book basket selections for August -</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'll update with any extras as we go along.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span><br />

So good .... that means only 2 months until Spring!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm trying to make the most of the winter months, so one of the indoors tasks we are working on is - trying to - down scale the home educating items we've accumulated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've managed to cull the math section, many of the history texts, and most of the spare copies of things just sitting in boxes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now it's time to thin out the educational Dvds and the homeschooling-helps-for-mum books. Seems to be a lot of both ;-P</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We want to down scale as it's time to get rid of younger years 'stuff' and we're hoping to move home before the end of the year; the less I have to pack and then find a new home for will be win-win in the long run.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Switching topics to our month ahead and the items in our home educating book baskets; some of the titles still being read are from last month, along with any <b>new</b> <b>books, listed in bold type, to be read</b> <b>in July</b>. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Beneath are our initial literary/book basket selections for July -</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'll update with any extras as we go along.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">YLR stands for Younger Level Read: not all books have to attain to the pinnacle of rich literature to be appreciated.

We are not going to be going fathoms deep with this one - it's the kind of study that a planning mumma (ahem ;) ) could get seriously submerged in resource gathering.... and then we'd never start.<br />
<br />
We signed up, briefly, to the members section on Read-Aloud Revival, as we plan to use the following interviews as a leaping off point:<br />

Daisy will be choosing some favourite illustrators of her choice to study, one illustrator a month, and then I'm asking that she:<br />
1: craft a brief illustrator biography,<br />
2: select various books by that illustrator to work with, discuss techniques,<br />
3: recreate an illustration using the artists techniques.<br />
<br />
Both of us are really looking forward to working on this together since we are devout picture book appreciators -simple picture books and sophisticated picture books, we like both.Chellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13087457076737498284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46713744559642203.post-51451572717427606262017-06-24T08:00:00.000+12:002017-07-07T11:05:13.336+12:00Favourite Picture Books ~ Pinterest linkWe get asked by mums with younger children, "What are your favourite picture books?"<br />
And so over the last few years we've been compiling a visual display of many of our favourites over at Pinterest to refer people to. The pins are not detailing every single picture book in our home library - there are hundreds - these are just the favourites.<br />
<br />
Some of the books,initially, made the cut just because the illustrations are amazing works of art,<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Daisy and I have settling down into scheduled learning during late autumn and on into early winter; a good amount of reading and written work is achieved in these cold stay-indoors-more months, so much so that when we had a look at where Daisy was in her English work schedule we found that she is weeks ahead of where I guesstimated she may be at this time of the year. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Beneath are some of the titles still being read from last month, along with the books to be read this month.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We've just had 2 weeks of term break and are now back to scheduled learning. Ho-hum ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It feels like we've been going full pace during term break attending to around -the-home projects and tasks, which is so good as it's nice to start a new term with a sense of achievement during the weeks away from scheduled learning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I think I'll skip creating weekly updates from now on and just go for <i>Our Month Ahead</i> posts as this years reading assignments, and book lineups, are intentionally pretty spread out to allow time for all the other subject areas we are working in; and, not sure about other highschooling years, educating at home, families but our reading time has definitely morphed into a vastly different look this year: the sheer number of books we read has become less and yet we discuss so much more (age and maturity stage of teens) - and the literary goals do not seem to be, so much, about completing the books but about immersing ourselves in the thoughts and discussions surrounding the themes in the books..... along with rabbit trails, which happen constantly and are creating some delight filled distraction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Beneath are the titles we completed during the end of April , along with the books to be read during May. (<b>I'll update with any extras as we go along</b>. The <b>C</b> beside each item means completed.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our literary/book basket selections for this Month:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Jay and Daisy are plugging away at their academic subjects though we've needed to make changes to Jay's academic workload as he spends more and more time away from home with part time work. Since Jay now has less time to sit and read, we've switched some of his titles over to audio book - works perfectly; and, amazingly he's electing to go through the fiction titles that have been sitting there waiting to be read. <i>The Surfeit of Lamprey's</i> had been dust collecting on his book basket list since last year; it now been listened to and enjoyed.</span></span><br />
