My 3rd Mighty Saver Achievement!

Jamie was awarded the Bronze badge for completing the 3rd card. And I secretly banked in $500 to get a bigger mystery gift (comprises of penci case, eraser, luggage tag & a pencil) so that I can reward her as and when she behaves well. So her 1st reward, the pencil case!!

Egg Plant Has Migrated !

The plant has grown so much that the egg shell cracked! So I moved it out to one of mil's plant. Also see the yellow cactus above? Also moved out as it has grown so big that the pot no longer can hold it.

I Did it Again

I am very proud of Jamie. She is getting better in cutting using scissors.Well done !!

Bu-Bu

This is what Jeremy will say when he sees the nebuliser. Why Bu-Bu? Well, its the sound that the machine produces lor !!! :P

Sleepless Nights

Jeremy has been coughing badly and so does his runny nose. I didn't sleep a wink over the weekends as the poor boy kept waking up ,having difficulty in breathing. Need to bring him to his PD later to suck out the mucus in his throat & nose so that he will feel better. Probably need to nebulise too.

New Gadgets

Bought 2 more to add to Jamie's current playdough set. This is very fun and can have hours of hands on and creativity!!

Hurray! It's school holiday!

Every time before term's break, Jamie's school will have a mini concert with the morning & afternoon sessions pupils. As usual, we went to her school and managed to watch part of it before heading to the wet market.

Infection

After almost 3months free from virus and bacteria infection, Jeremy is down with runny nose. I'm crossing my fingers that both kids will be well again to enjoy our holiday trip this coming June.

I Can Do It

This morning Jamie came to me wif 2 cut out triangles which she did it herself. Then she said, I can make a star! After that, she asked me to draw her a smaller star which she cut it out. Nice?

D.I.Y Coin Bank

So Jamie will ask papa for some coins every time he is back home. Hope she will remember that. :D

Flash Cards

I chanced upon the DVD format of workout flashcards from Baby Brain at Kiddy Palace yesterday and decided to get it since its only 20% off. Minimal work from me as I just make sure I turn on the TV & DVD player and everything will auto pilot on its own. Cool! (I still read I Can Read with Jeremy a book daily while Jamie is now on another series of Chinese story books~ Huayu Baoku from A-Star Interactive) .

Yucks!

Elih reported this. Jeremy just pooed in his training pants and said "肮脏" ,touching his backside. So cute!

Eggy Plan

After the mad fun, I settled Jamie down with this art & craft work.

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!

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.

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.
