De multizolder
Ons nieuwe huis heeft een heerlijke zolder. Er wordt lekker gespeeld, gewerkt, gemusiceerd en geknutseld.

Songs
Een van de vaste onderdelen van onze dag is het 'zelfstandig werken met de computer'. Terwijl ik me ontferm over de dagelijks terugkerende waswerkzaamheden, gaan Boas en Fera aan de gang met hun opdrachtje. Dat kan vanalles zijn: Hooked on English, rekenspelletjes, digitale prentenboeken of een door mij samengesteld afspeellijstje van YouTube. We hebben er onder andere een met Engelse liedjes, en die slaat aan:

WC-nieuws (1)
Hoewel thuisonderwijzers soms best wel een klein beetje eigenwijs kunnen zijn, laten wij ons ook graag door anderen inspireren. Daarvoor gaan we ook weleens bij elkaar op bezoek. Hierbij slaan we het kleinste kamertje dan niet over en zeker niet bij deze familie, die daar elke keer wel weer wat nieuws heeft bedacht.
De moeite waard om eens uit te proberen, dacht ik zo.
Nadat er in de zomer een heel arsenaal aan olympische sporten van JufJanneke.nl hing, zijn we nu overgestapt naar het menselijk lichaam. Nog niet zo gek bedacht voor no. 100, toch?
We zijn dit boek aan het lezen:
Een geweldig boekje met allerlei ontdekkingsflappen om te leren hoe je lichaam werkt. Het bestaat uit drie delen: Wat gebeurt er met je eten? Hoe werken je zintuigen? Hoe worden babies gemaakt?

Mummy Pig
Tegenwoordig word ik nogal eens Mummy Pig genoemd. En, eerlijk waar, dat heeft niets met mijn toegenomen omvang of verandering van geur te maken. Het komt door haar: Peppa.
De kinderen zijn er in elk geval verzot op. En stiekem leren ze nog een beetje Engels ook. Maar dat weet alleen ik.
Regelmatig zijn Boas en Fera zelfstandig aan het werk op de computer. Voor die momenten plaats ik dan allerlei snelkoppelingen op een bepaalde plek op het bureaublad. Onder andere een You Tube playlist met Peppa Pig filmpjes, maar ook een met letterfilmpjes, Engelse liedjes, Nederlandse en Engelse boekjes, Angelina Ballerina, enzovoorts. Ook staat er een link op naar filmpjes op BrightFM Kids. We hebben deze internetradio vaak aan staan, ook een aanrader, maar op hun website staan dus ook allerlei leuke filmpjes. Waar de kinderen ook graag op kijken is Kenny, de kinderpagina van Kennisnet.

Hooked on English
"Dutch Homeschool Award Winner"
One of my homeschooling colleagues nominated Action for this, and I think she's right! This time I bought a 'Hooked on English' set. It's this set and we like it. (By the way, Action charges only 15,95 euro ;-) ) It consists of several workbooks, dvd's and cd's, flashcards and reading books.
We like the audio cd best.

Learning English
Since we have some English speaking friends, Boas and Fera are very interested in the English language. We picked up 'Engels met Raaf' again, a series of educational programmes on the Dutch 'Schooltv'. If you follow this link you can find the programme, including some free worksheets.
At the Bookdepository I bought some fun children's books that are suggested in the worksheets. My kids love them.
And we made another lapbook. (from www.homeschoolshare.com)
All this seems to work very encouraging, because often they ask for new words or try to say something in English.

Top priority
Besides playing we also do some formal learning. What we as parents find important now, besides the obedience thing, which we still work on and still achieve results with (oh! our sweet littluns), is reading. So I did some investigation and bought the book: How to teach your baby to read by Glen and Janet Doman.

And today we started! The previous days I made a shoebox with flashcards with words. Today I showed them to the kids, who were curious to know what is more in the box. Boas already requested for some words that are special to him now (animals!!), which I gladly added.
The idea of this book is that children can, want and should learn to read early. It seems that if we increase the size of the letters, also small children (even babies, but unfortunately we don't have them yet ;-) ) can learn to recognise words. And even much faster than older children or grown ups. And since they probably will really benefit from learning to read early (because a whole new world of information and fun opens up and kids who are familiar with reading from a young age seem to have less language problems when they're older), we think it's definitely worth the try!
So that is our first real method, if you want :-)
I also try to regularly expose them to the English language. I bought and borrowed some nice English picture books. And we discovered 'Engels met Raaf' on Schooltv.nl
We don't use the materials that go with the films yet, but I try to let them watch an episode weekly. And if they watch a familiar film, like Dora the Explorer, we sometimes pick the English language.
Why would we like our children to know English soon? We have several reasons for that.
1. a second language can be learnt faster and easier at a young age, specifically before the age of 6.
2. once our children can understand English, a huge lot of other information will be available to them.
3. we are quite internationally oriented and feel God won't keep us here forever, so we also try to prepare our children for that.
Learning is so much fun!! Every time is discover something new I get excited about teaching our children. But, it's good to know your priorities. And if you don't know, talk to your sweet hubbie :-).
