Jayden K1 school work

Its has been some time since I last update on Jayden school work for his K1 Class. Basically the type of activity worksheet which he did is still about the same.

A playdate with Lucas again!

Since our last playdate with Lucas, my boys have been pestering me to bring them to Lucas house again!!!! They love Lucas and of course the great amount of toys at his place. :) And when Liling told me she is on leave today and ask me for a lunch meetup, I just have to ask her for a playdate at her place today. And also due to we always have so much to talk about when we meet up.

Happy Birthday Singapore!!!!

Today the schools all over Singapore celebrate Singapore 45th Birthday in advance, which is no exception for my boys. They have to dress in red and white attire for today celebration. On our way to Javier’s school, we see so many kids wearing red, that Javier keep exclaiming Jie Jie, Gor Gor wearing Red T-shirt!!!! It marks a special event for Javier as this year is the 1st time he is celebrating National Day in school. Now he will point and tell me Singapore Flag whenever he sees one. :)

Since Javier’s school is having a mini party today, and parents are welcome to contribute any snacks for the party. I fried some fishball for Javier to bring it to the party.

Jayden reading chinese book

Currently, Jayden chinese reading skill is still not very strong yet as his recognition of the chinese characters is quite limited. I hope that thru his lesson in Berries and ad-hoc coaching from me would enable to him broaden his chinese words recognition.

Every month , he would take back a chinese reader book from his school. I would say he can read very well to the extend that I think he has already memorise the story by heart instead of recognising the individual words. So sometimes, I would point to a specific words and ask him.  I would say he can recognise 80% of the words but still my help in reading some of the words.

Homeschooling – 22nd Week (12-18 July 2010)

This is a overdue post for our homeschooling. When we do this homeschooling Letter O, I was still feeling “hardworking”, so we did a lot of stuffs on practical skill and crafts. But after soon after we start letter P, my energy just seems to zoom right to the bottom…. Nevertheless, I am now trying to find back my zest to do this homeschooling as I know Javier enjoys it alot (at least currently, he still enjoys the lesson we did, although sometimes when he feel moody, he wouldn’t want to participate in the activity we do).

Talking this and that......

Ah....finally I got my pc back today. Alot of backdated post waiting for me to update. :( 

However I am feeling quite lazy and not in the mood to do anything. Progress of my homeschooling with Javier is getting very very slow. Practically we did not do much for the past 2 weeks. Mostly playing some educational toys and puzzles and reading some books. I realised that Javier seems to lose the attention span for the story reading time now. As I read the book, he would be wandering about or looking elsewhere....

Tantrum throwing is so frequent now, my patience is fast running out. Everyday from the time he wake up till the time he sleep, I seems to be anticipating a war erupting between us. He still sleeps very late at 12plus to 1am... !!!!!! When my MIL bring him over today, I feel so relieve and can finally take a break.

Another problem that trigger my temper is during meal time, both of time take such a long time to finish it. Hiaz... when will all this stop????? Will stop here for now.. still alot of unfinished grumbling.... :{

Books That Jayden Read – July

Recently the books which Jayden  attempt to read himself is much more as compared to the last few months. Now we have develop a habit of bringing a book to read while we wait for Jayden’s school bus to pick him up.

A Day in Universal Studios Singapore

What I dreaded happen today! It RAINS!!!!!!!! As this trip was planned sometimes back and tickets had already been purchased, there is no way we can have any alternative plan. So we still went to Universal Studio early in the morning. But when we reached there, the rain had stopped and the weather was really cooling… Phew!
