Hmm, now you've made me wonder whether I'd be able to pull off creating learning experiences in an empty white room... Well, I suppose at the very least we can learn to master meditation and develop a deep inner life under those circumstances! ;-)Hweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895959128588945675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847571046883368877.post-89761244268341338822013-12-08T22:16:02.437+00:002013-12-08T22:16:02.437+00:00Hwee, I think if we locked you up with Tiger in an...Hwee, I think if we locked you up with Tiger in an empty white room, you would still manage to find 101 learning experiences! You are the master at this, planned or unplanned.

I'm increasingly convinced that all children, if given a chance to explore their interests and direct their own learning, are capable of educating themselves to a very high level in their individual ways. :-)Hweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895959128588945675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847571046883368877.post-39540563270096500372013-12-08T13:18:27.122+00:002013-12-08T13:18:27.122+00:00What a wonderful post.

It all stems from my feeling slightly exhausted and needing a rest, so I'm really glad it's working so far. It definitely shows that learning comes from all directions when we pay attention to the opportunities life offers. :-)Hweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895959128588945675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847571046883368877.post-87193545661485027412013-12-08T04:07:43.568+00:002013-12-08T04:07:43.568+00:00Thank you so much for linking up at The Homeschoo...Thank you so much for linking up at <a href="http://www.soyoucallyourselfahomeschooler.com/homeschool-mothers-journal/" rel="nofollow"> The Homeschool Mother's Journal!</a> I, too, adore bedtime conversations with our two youngest boys (big sis seems to have outgrown them :). It is such a precious time, isn't it? <br /><br />Your Tiger sounds like such a brilliant, inquisitive young man. And those diagrams? WOW! What a wonderful mom you are to take the time to listen to him and allow him to draw out what he is learning. <br /><br />I also applaud you for allowing December to guide itself in schooling. That is what we do and it has worked wonderfully for the last decade!<br /><br />Have a blessed week ahead!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00731631874210961400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847571046883368877.post-4003542309347096882013-12-07T20:36:49.404+00:002013-12-07T20:36:49.404+00:00The basics of computer networks are manageable for...The basics of computer networks are manageable for him so far. I think at beginner's level, understanding networks require some combination of common sense, maths, and logic. Tiger heard his dad talk about computer networks so he asked a few questions, looked up a few videos on Youtube, and wanted to show me what he knows. :-)Hweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895959128588945675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847571046883368877.post-65321268236741590542013-12-07T20:13:25.155+00:002013-12-07T20:13:25.155+00:00How did Tiger get interested in computer networks?...How did Tiger get interested in computer networks?

I truly appreciate them! :-) I didn't think I was that bothered about the Nativity Play until I saw how well the children worked together. I don't know whether we'll get to do it again next year so I'm really glad for the chance to experience it this year.<br /><br />I must admit that I hadn't read "A Christmas Carol" prior to this year as well. Like you, I'm really enjoying the story now as we read along. How did school manage to put us off such great literature?!Hweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895959128588945675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847571046883368877.post-49502007567207328322013-12-07T16:06:53.298+00:002013-12-07T16:06:53.298+00:00This is one of my favourite posts of yours, Hwee! ...This is one of my favourite posts of yours, Hwee! I really enjoyed reading about your Christmas activities. Your homeschooling group sounds wonderful. I know what you mean about Nativity Plays - it's one of the silly reasons I'm glad my children did a tiny bit of school! We have an old calendar on display at the moment showing a photo of J(8) as a king and C(10) as an angel.<br />I just downloaded a free version of A Christmas Carol onto my Kindle after you mentioned it before. I must admit I'd been a little afraid of Dickens after bad experiences at school (deathly dull class readings) but after just one page I'm a complete convert - it's hilarious!<br />I loved reading about Tiger's enthusiasm for telling you about computer networks, too. :-)<br />(Sorry for the essay!)Lucindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165136384071830629noreply@blogger.com
