We missed our class the previous Sunday as I had many visitors at home. We resumed our class yesterday. We continued with the listening and understanding math exercises. The girls learnt to attach the notion of "substraction" to certain key words like "fewer", "give away", "broken". Then, we proceeded to their favourite tea break. The girls had fresh soya bean milk, banana, and 1 multi-vit gummy bear each.
Right after, it was time for reading a new poem. The girls enjoyed the friendly competition when it came to reciting poem. They were rather "co-operative". When they were not able to recite certain section of the poem, they would cover up for each other by requesting me to read the poem to them first! Smart heh?
Before I had the chance to get the girls to read a chinese reader, they were already scootering about and planning for their next vacation!

U're doing really well in home-schooling the kids. At 4, she edi knows subtraction. My girl oni learnt that in kindy (K1) this yr.
thanks dear. I think practice makes perfect...Nicole prefers doing maths to reading..so i just capitalise on her interest for now...you can try some of the methods i use to teach nicole...check out my older posts labelled nicole's milestones and sunday class...cheers
*pat on the back* Good job Mommy!
You have proven something that I've always believed in, its not that the kids are NOT capable of doing 'it' at their age, its how the parents teach 'it' to them....never underestimate a kids capability.
now, who says a 4 year old can't do maths?!
hi angeline,
thanks for encouragement...it certainly takes alot of effort to nurture the little ones...we just have to be creative and keep on trying new methods if the old ones dont work anymore....cheers :)
