Lazy Saturday

Tins throwing, drumming, singing, loud screams and running about in the house were what you will witness in my house this morning. I do not have any concrete program for the children so I took 6 empty Pediasure tins out, filled some tins with green beans & sealed the lid. The kids hav fun using balls to hit the tins, shaked and rolled the tins!!

Jeremy's 1st Official Lesson

Last about 5mins. We sang a Chinese song about eyes, nose, mouth and ears. Flashcards with objects & art & craft which I cut out the shape of an apple and we colored it red. Lesson ended playing w red objects like beanbags, ball, train & seashell which I taught him about the color red. Task accomplished, phew!

Term 2 Art & Craft Works

Impromptu Bunny

Saw someone did this so we copy the idea did this in 10mins, including preparation.

Hurray!

Blogspot finally ok liao!! I can edit, change colors and able to view the usual template again! Hurray!!

Lesson Plan - Patterns

After watching Maths Monster about patterns, I decided to whip out my Montessori materials and teach Jamie about patterns that can grow (Pix 1)! I didn't know about this till we watched the vcd. So I reinforced what we had learnt and I also taught her about sets in the patterns so that she will be more aware of the starting and ending of each set of the patterns. (Pix 2) I built the 1st set of the patterns and asked her to complete it. I will probably increase the difficulty levels to more complex perhaps next week.

Morning Coffee-Get-Together

Time for updates about Jamie's progress in school again.

My 1st Mother's Day Card

Have been wondering when will I receive a Mother's Day card from

my own kids ? Now finally Jamie is big enuff to do one for me!! Whether nice or not doesn't matter, what matter most is, I finally get it!!

Time passed... its been more than a year since I started giving her homework like those above. Initial period quite tough but after several practises, she has improved tremendously. And now, she can writes quite neatly and she knows numbers till 100, odd and even numbers, dot-to-dot (including odd & even numbers), beginning sounds for phonetic awareness as well as practising of chinese strokes etc.

Free Painting

Paper Clay Part II

Nice Dinner Just the 2 of Us

Wanted to redeem the $20 food voucher so I decided to bring her to the Japaness restaurant after her phonics lesson. It's so cosy and quiet. One can look out the window to see the golfers playing.

Paper Clay

Waiting to dry up then we will paint these tonight, yea!!

Most of us grow up playing this forever popular game. Now I'm stuck on it again ! Who says you need to invest in order to train your memory skill? Play it here FREE!!!

Another Homework

Sigh.....good thing the submission date is 10th May!

Parents' Art Work

This is not the 1st time that I have to submit such similar homework from Jamie's school. Initially, it can be very fun but after doing it for the 3rd time, I started to sigh the moment I see it, arrrgggghhhh!!!!

Our 1st Electronic Piano

Have been eyeing one for the children since last month but I have been holding back the purse's string till I couldn't find it display at Kiddy's entrance this afternoon! I went crazy searching for it and found 3 sets left. Without hesitation, I grabbed one and headed home.... kids' joy = $39.90 invested

珍珠粉

A friend reminded me to let Jamie try this since she's coughing with phlegm. So I bought the highest grade of 珍珠 (equivalent to 12 dosages) for $96 (ouch!!). Thank God after 1 dosage, can see that Jamie doesn't cough alot and she gets to sleep through the night! Jeremy is okie at this moment.

Blessing in Disguise?

Thank God I took Jamie to her paediatrician as initially I wanted to stock up medicine for coming week but it turned out that she's diagnosed with slight bronchitis and need to be on antibiotic & nebulise for 5 days! Just hope that Jeremy will not catch the virus.

Me and My Son

While Jie-Jie is away, we had a nice dip for about 1/2hr. I enjoyed these special moments I have with Jeremy. It's very rare but I do treasure when there's opportunity for us to be alone, just both of us.

Hurray!!

So no fever or accerelated coughing? .. she's off to the bird park!!

TRUE SCARY

I almost couldn't access my blog !!! Tried doing all possible usernames/passwords with blogspot, gmail, google accounts for more than 1.5hrs ! Stressed!!!!!!!! Thank God I finally blundered into my blog!!! Phew! And I managed to cleared all confusions that I have AND also, I found another blog that I created (dunno when) under Jamie's name!

Parts of a Plant

See how Jamie drew the plants? At least she remembers to draw the roots! And the cloud which I recently taught her how to draw. Another interesting thing to note is, see the eyebrow that she drew on the boy? Funny hor!! (others will be 2 birds, 1 balloon & the sun)

Crossing Fingers

Jamie woke up this morning coughing on and off.

Asked her if her throat is painful or itchy...she said a bit itchy. Aggghhh.............. just hope she is well enough for her 1st school outing tmr to the Bird Park.

Snaps from HP

Found some photos taken from my Samsung Z400. So I uploaded few....

Jamie's doodle

Cute? She's improving in her own creativity... see the hair?? :D

Early Mornings

Our Jamie has been waking up quite early these days and some days, she will wake up as early as 7am while Jeremy and myself usually between 8-9am. So I told our helper to give Jamie some light homework (no supervision or guidance needed) like coloring, tracing or doing dot-to-dot. So this morning, she did the odd numbers dot-to-dot by herself. Not easy to introduce odd and even numbers for a 45mths old preschooler.
