Hi Denmy,
Wow u have all boys right! must be real handful! Must ask u for advice on how to manage! HOw old is ur oldest? Mine is turining 4 this dec. Do u stay in pasir ris? Coz i rem collecting some books from a person called denmy last time.
agree with Ky, seems like a good deal. But I got some fren who complain that the pink tower and the knobbed cylinder in the kit is in miniature size so not veri good esp for pink tower makes it tough for tots to use. Maybe can ask KY for her opinion whether is it true.
AS for the class,i dun tink can go coz my older boy has JG and swimming class on sat.
Hi SY and all pregnant mommies,
Congrats!
Hi mamachan,
YOu rem me? I attend NCC. Din see u for some time? I tot u working in polytechnic as a researcher. Just changed ur job?
HI Ky,
I dun know her personally but i tink got the link from my fren who is an AP mom.
As for hs curriculum, i really dun tink i have the time for it. I tink i did mention to u that my boy is attending two schools so by the time he reaches home it is abt 2pm. I also have too many material at home (too enthusiastic in buying material in the past) so it is really tough to incorpoate into these curriculum.But I might look into hs curriculum only for its bible study component. Currently other than reading storybooks,doing IQ,memory games i am onli actively teaching a few "subjects"at home.No fixed curriculum but I am using the learning outcomes for preschool level as well as p1 level as a guide. Focusing on english (phonics and sight reading so far), chinese,science (it is theme based, I am using WOL as a guide.i teach skills that i tink is important in science.I used to be a bio teacher so it helps.), geography (veri simple stuff like countries, weather...). For maths, I am using a guidebook from learning resource whuch i find extremely useful but i am not focusing much on it coz his montessori school is strong in maths.I am terrible at the asethetic area so I am sending him for enrichement for these area.My no.1 is basically my guinea pig...dunno wehther will my method work or not.
I tink for no.2 I am more focus.
U tinking of homeschooling no.1 and 2?
I dun tink i can le...not disciplined enough to teach 3kids of different level at the same time...i wonder how all the other hs moms do it. Now i already find it challenge to teach no.1 with no.2 ard esp when it comes to writing, I have to occupy no.2 with things like spooning, puzzles and even paper cutting then if not, no.2 will fight with no.1 Do u have the same issue?
So cannot imagine how to do it with 3...most probably no.3 will be on the breast when i teach no1 and 2.
Barney,
My kids love songs from cartoon. esp barney, little esintein, jo jo circus and when i play the songs in the car....absolute peace!
