Inguinal Hernia Repair Urethra
do I still am with the categorization of our weekly activities, some seriously. Life just does not squeeze in a drawer. Frequently activities fit into multiple categories, sometimes not really ...
These are the categories that I want on the form provided, in which I add at least 25 hours per week:
first SelfDesign practice - Planning - Learning to lear n - Epistemology - Systemic thinking
2. Wellness - Health - Physical Activity - Sports - Exercise - Kinesthetic Awareness
3. Languaging - Communication - Writing/Reading - Media
4. H umanities - Social studies, sociology, anthropology, psychology, history, geography
5. Culture - 2 nd language
6. SelfDesigning - Conversations between parent/learner, mentor/learner
7. Logic - Math - Analytical thinking
8. Livingry - Tools for Living - Applied Skills - Information Technology - Financial Management - Career
9. Science - Ecology - Naturalistic Understanding
10. Creativity - Artistic Expression Appreciation and
11th Philosophy - Ethics and Ontology - Spiritual practice - Religious Studies
12th Learning Committee - Family Meetings - Overall Planning and Evaluation - Home learning environment - Sustaining conversations
If, Julian, for example, like this afternoon happen, made with the word processing program Word a menu that is then "Languaging" , because he writes something? Category 8 or more, because he practices the use of computers and because the activity at the same time in the drawer "Livingry" and "Financial Management" fits when he sets for the various food prices? In the end it does not really matter whether you log all activities in the "correct" categories, and I know that many families, the hours more "rule of thumb" Register and not so seriously, but as the price demanded by the Ministry for accept their freedom. For Julian, it is irrelevant anyway, where about a place for his activities - he learns what is important to him, without thinking in categories. At the end of the year is then somehow a fairly accurate overview of our life without school, such as here for Julian's Home Schooling year 2006/2007:

Beauty Salon For Crossdressers
Today's Program at the "Planet Bee " on honey bees was clearly much more compelling than The "Bear Facts" last week. The beekeepers were able to transfer his fascination for these animals on his audience. I never thought that a lecture on bees can be so interesting. Who knows ß know that a bee has to travel 15,000 km to a tablespoon of honey to produce! And who has ever been a bee see slip? The trip to Vernon was truly worth it!
PS comment of a Au ß ARISING:
my aunt, currently on a visit to Kelowna, noticed how calm and interested in the younger children in the group during the entire event was - a pleasant contrast to the typical school class to class outing!
