More Flash Cards ...

Got these stacks of Chinese flash cards from Lisa lately. It's meant for K2 kids in preparation for P1. After browsing through the words, I think its relatively easy and Jamie can read about 90% of these cards by now. Hmm, wondering how's the standard for higher children kids at P1 level and is Jamie being trained too far beyond P1 ??

Sea Horse Riding on Unicycle

This was done by Jamie during recent weeks while we were relaxing playing some games together. Thought its quite interesting wif her fav "mini" sitting on the Unicycle.

Pre-Primary Ballet Preliminary Preview

Tonight I've witnessed Jamie doing her exam dance items one by one and this is one of my fav! She did it so well that I almost cannot believe my eyes! Well done, Jamie!

“Head Over Heels” Couples Run 2009

Above are most of the freebies (few magazines & bottles of mineral water etc) from the goody bag that CQ took back in an orange color Guardian Pharmacy recycled bag after volunteering for

some Couples Run photograph shoots at East Coast Park. I din "woo-ah" over these loots though since I have my own usual sets of skincare products. Shall see who to give it away...

Cooking Session w Mama

Tonight Jamie became my assistant in the kitchen in preparing dinner for the family! She is such a great helper indeed and she did it wif so much joy! Hence I have decided to allow her to help out once a week as I've noticed that there's so much things I can teach her beyond what books can give!

Parent-Child School Holiday Work

This time I am so much caught up wif their daily activites on top of the piling up chores and preparation of their meals that I simply do not have the time to do this work nicely wif Jeremy. Nevermind, there'll be more of such chance (hee, excuse!).

DIY Materials

Wondering why I have no updates lately?? Ya since CQ is on reservist till 27 March, I somehow sleep late and so wif this extra hours I've, I quickly finish up my DIY teaching materials I've planned for the children and #3. So blogging has been put on "hold" for a while....

School Holiday

This is the kids' first school holiday without papa as he will be on reservist till end of March. That's very long to me ley!!!! Should be able to handle... just tat not used not seeing jjpapa at home at night lor.

Logico

This gadget has become Jeremy's daily "dosage" for his right brain stimulation. This set has been handed down from Jamie and Jeremy's turn now. Soon it will be for #3 too!

PanCake

Bought this from Cold Storage and the kids love it so much! And its so easy to prepare vs those premix powder selling at NTUC ! It tastes so much better and easier to cook too!

The Loooong Wait..........

This is one of the worst wait I've ever encountered! I've been eyeing (since last year) to get these Foogoo water bottle in replacement of those non BPA plastic bottles that Jamie & Jeremy are using. It's definitely worth waiting for ! Yea, so they will be using these straw stainless steel water bottles for peace of mind! RSP $41 each and I'm getting one for $28 !

Color Memory

Another right brain training tool that adds into the kids' homeschool curriculum. It's sooooooo good and I love it so much! Jeremy definitely needs lotsa drilling to boost his memory linking skills.

End of Term 1

It's another Term 1 round up and I've gotten back their school works. While browsing through individual work, I've noticed that Jamie is still maintaining her work well although her handwriting is messier than b4. As for Jeremy, I do not have high expectation on him since his motor skill is slower than his Jie-Jie. However, I am pleased to get compliments from his teachers that he pays attention well during lessons and he can focus when doing work. Check out here for few of his school works update!!

Baby Plus Prenatal Educational System

Got this 2nd set from a nice mummy quite some time ago and I finally hit 18weeks whereby I will be wearing this 2x daily till 32weeks ! She has testified that her daughter is more alert when born. Hmm, shall see how it comes when #3 arrives.

Eyes Training

Got few sets from a friend's supplier and started Jamie & Jeremy to train their photographic memory. These are categorized into 4 categories, namely Photo Memory, Color Differentiation, Space Memory and Instance Memory. These games will improve the child’s photographic memory and observation skills. I am very impressed wif such training and hopefully can source some suitable cartoons and DIY myself!

More IQ Games ???

Thank God that both Jamie & Jeremy are very into such brain teasers games and they normally do not fuss whenever we spend some time to play these together. We normally spend our evening time together either reading books or doing some right brain kits. Here Jamie is being challenged and its not easy to solve as each level progresses on. RULE : Put back the 4 puzzle pieces and make sure all boats are hidden except the ones visible on the challenge card. 48 different challenges!

Self Made Flash Cards

Just bought some blank 4x6" blank cards to DIY the multiplication time table for Jamie. I have not started her on time table while finding the best methods to ease her learning. Will be starting wif flash cards + music that reads out the summation while I flash, I'll also be using Kumon assessment book to boost her understanding on multiplication.

More Blogging ??

I've officially created 1 blog under Jeremy's name. Let's hope I am not overwhelmed wif updating their individual blog as well as this current blog :)

Buy 1 Get 1 FREE!!

Went to popular bookstore initially to get a box of laminating pouch and while I was queuing up to make payment, I saw these series of stickers books that attracted my attention! Its too good to believe that such books are going for 50% off!!

Mandarin Speech & Drama

I am just so glad to receive the letter from Jeremy's teacher about the Saturday enrichment at his school! While Jamie only started from Term 3 whereby this time, the school allows nursery kids to start from Term 2!! So the timing will be just nice since Jamie will be going for 9am swimming while Jeremy's lesson commences at 830am.

Flash Cards

I am seriously back into flash cards (especially encyclopedic knowledge topics) sessions wif the kids daily. And more reading of both English & Chinese books too! This is so after realising that Jamie is going to hit 6yo come end July and this would means that her left brain will take over right brain. So, alot of right brain stimulations activities will be jamming up for Jamie.
