Yummy !

Kids are getting better so I decided to give them some ice cream after dinner. Look at Jeremy's reaction! It's his 1st experience eating ice-cream!

Time for Workshops

While Jamie has just started learning phonics in JCK and Zoo Phonics, I also have enrolled myself into some workshops relating to Phonemic Awareness & Phonics as well as I believe in working hand in hand with her school teachers in order to accomplish optimal results. And so I will be busy on almost all Saturdays morning since February and this month. Here are the workshops (except Jolly Phonics)

Backside Itchy

Met an ex-colleague today and she mentioned that they have vacancy opening. Haiz I know I am not called/ready to go back to the workforce yet but.... sigh...

Reward Stamp Chops

Bought few more cheap stamp chops to add up to my existing chops. So far, these have some kind of impact in motivating Jamie to finish up her work neat & fast. :D

Nursery Term One 2007

Morning went to see Jamie's teachers for her term one review. We spoke alot but generally, feedback about her are as follow. She used to do these at home more than a year ago. So , I think its easy that's why she don't need teacher's assistance. 1) Restless 2) Mature 3) Independent & does school work without supervision needed 4) Quiet 5) Speaks only when necessary

大家讲hua* 语

Ever since Jamie goes to school, she also begin to speak more Mandarin. I used to be very concerned over her not wanting to speak in Mandarin but now I am relieved and will not enrol her into 天下at the moment unless her Mandarin doesn't improve. *hahaa I couldn't find this word but you know what it is right?

I Can Speak

Jeremy has started to speak Mandarin bit by bit. I am so happy! These are what I heard from him so far. 火, 给我, 花, 人, 月亮, 汤....

Anatomy Jumbo Book

Bought this jumbo book for Jamie. What I like about this are the fun gadgets like movable and flip up tabs and the super huge human skeletal system at the end of the book! So this book reinforce what she has already being taught at home.

Hurray!

Thank God Jamie no longer vomits or has any more loose stool after yesterday afternoon. So I started to give her slightly more to eat. She had 1 slice of banana bread w glucose water for breakfast, vermicillin in bland soup for lunch. And 1/2 bottle of slightly diluted Pediasure before she naps.

Viral Gastroenteritis

Jamie vomitted after her milk feed early in the morning. Brought her to see a GP and while waiting, she vomitted again. Confirmed its stomach flu. Gotta standby some oral rehydration solution to prevent her from dehydration. Meanwhile the 2 kids are being quarantine from each other. And Jeremy is also having some coughing. Arrrgghhhh!!!!

MC

I am down with common flu. So decided to let Jamie plays at ah po's house instead of doing some homework. Come back tomorrow for updates pls.....

Fresh Flower

Brought Jeremy to Far East Flora along Thomason Road after a survey that earned me extra 40 bucks. Nice, cheap and fresh flowers !!

I am 15 Months Old

Placement

I am very impressed with Jamie. Not the messy handwriting. See how straight she wrote all the words on the line without any helping hands or starting point.

Fines

All overdue fines from the NLB. :(

Doodle Time

This is what Jamie drew on the doodle board. Can see the 2 clouds, a sun, few flying birds, 2 balloons, 1 child, a house and some grasses?

Enjoy!

Montessori Pink Scheme for Phonics

This is a very good set to start off with and Jamie.

Step 2 Snuggle Bug

Finally got it for the kids!!!! *cheaper than what I have expected!*

Meet the Teacher's Session

Yippee!!! Finally its time for us to meet Jamie's teacher!! Why so excited? If you have a kid who doesn't tell you what she does in school every day, then this session will be a good time to get to know from her teacher!
