Cat,
My #1 is also in zoophonics, but started only last year. I panicked when I realized that his kindy does not offer phonics and he still cannot read. Chinese already buey sai liao and english also cannot?? i chose zoophonics over ICanRead and Praise/Seeds due to distance and the availibility of the younger class (for #2 to join also lah). End last year when i brought #1 for an assessment at ICR, his standard is on par with their K1 going on K2 students, so zoophonics is ok. But I read with him almost everyday for about 15 mins. We read the ladybird/Oxford learning tree series, as sight words are also important.

Rona,
He's ok for now..waiting for the heart scans. Last night his temperature was consistently at 34.1-34.5 degrees so we panicked abit...but morning went back normal again...I think I will never be able to breathe easily for a long time!

[snow74]

hisstory

hee hee....koala...ya, abit.

 

[rona]

ceyln,
check this:
http://zoophonics.com.sg/index.html

 

[rona]

Yuuri,
i know how u feel. did u check with doc abt the low temp when he sleeps at nite? so scary.

 

[dardar63]

celyn
u using photobook ?

mousse
ya I used the soft approach all along with her and never had any problems. when i said no she will usually stop. but yesterday she went like out of control.

rona,
do u know if we can buy the zoophonics materials if we are not students ? We do let her recognize the alphabets at home so I dono if she will get confused with the animal shapes. But like u said they have no boundaries in their pursuit for knowledge so no harm letting her try when the time comes. If I am still living in the east, the siglap one is very near. haha

re: kym shoot
it was at Duxton Hill

 

[dardar63]

ohh anyone knows where to get sesame st pinata ?

 

[rona]

Cat,
i'm not sure. i'll ask for you on sat. You know, GUG is using zoophonics material and their methods... the youngest class, its more like music and movement, lots of singing and craft, intro one letter and story telling. this is an accompanied class.

later if u move to hillcrest, can still go to beauty world one if you like. else can consider ICR

 

[celynlee]

catherine,
yah, using photobook.

rona,
thanks. do you happen to know the fees?

 

[celynlee]

rona,
gug also have zoophonics. sometimes, i wonder if they are too young to go for class now?

 

[rona]

celyn,
if you treat it as a place for yu ze to have fun, then its ok. not sure if zoophonics will accept yu ze or not leh, too young i think. but GUG has classes for babies right? think zoophonics is $20 per class, pay for a term (=12 weeks). if you have RBS card, you get 10% off.

 

[dardar63]

rona,
ya i know GUG got zoophonics. but bernice in JG. quite happy with them so dont intend to change as yet.

celyn
i got problems with my photobook. everytime i validate they tell my low resolution picture. but all the pics are above 1MB lei. send email to their helpdesk no reply. so angry

 

[babypowder]

M2B
Hee.. I was advised by Timmin to give lean minced beef.. so I'll try that

Vern
Wow.. ribeye? That's a good cut!!

But only the best for our babies!!

 

[celynlee]

catherine,
oh. i haven't complete so not sure. anyway, the one i did is local one with just1book. i think their software is the same. they have a show room at dhoby ghuat. its after seeing the actual product that i finally decide to do.

 

[oven]

mel_ocean
heh.. all kids messy lah.. at least ur gal hair can tie pony tails now.. so cute!
Added you on FB!

Wendy
yeah ribeye not much fats.. I initially bought the normal minced beef but my mom objected cos she say not sure what's inside the mix.. she say buy ribeye so I just orh and follow haha.. So you gonna give D beef soon? Izzy loves it when she has beef with her porridge.. think its a bit tastier then chicken thats why...

 

[babyemma]

Celynlee

cat

[celynlee]

victoria,
i didn't buy zoophonics. catherine and i are talking about photobook.

 

[krex78]

rona,

dun worry. jonah also doesn't drink from spout or straw cup. he only likes to drink from spoon. ah well! dunno how to train him to drink from straw cup also. guess it'll take awhile.

i'm more concerned about weaning him from pacifier. dunno if it's my imagination but his bottom teeth seem a bit misaligned. dunno if it'll affect his teeth dvpt.
