Back to CMA!!

After exactly a year's break from CMA, Jamie is finally back today!! With mixed feeling though, I am glad that I've made the right choice to put her back in class after she has ceased private coaching from a friend who has been helping me to teach her at my place since Joshua's birth last August.

Visit To The Library

Today we went out wif Wendy and her gals to the library. See how happy the kids (especially Jamie) were??

Before and After My iPhone Spoilt

This is properly due the the fact that Joshua has the habit of licking my iphone, thinking its his teether!!

Joshua With Mama & Jeremy

Nice right?? You cannot believe these two photos were taken using iphone and edited using a downloaded software from the handphone!!

Jeremy's School Assessment

Jeremy has improved much this term and I am pleased with his performance in school so far. And this term, he has finally mastered his own chinee name as well! Good job, keep it up!!

Dempsey Hill Phototaking Session

After months of planning, we are finally off for an outdoor shoot wif the kids!! Yea! Photo taken by CQ using "hipstamatic" from his iphone. Cool right? Click here for some of the selected shots done by CQ's friend, Ms Chor Hui.

The Monster Inc

Where is the one eye monster, mama??

I am the Pianist!!

Wow...here's our little pianist-in-action!

The Brothers

Where Is The Space?

I recently bought this telescope from Jamie's school at a hefty 50% off deal! This is currently selling at The Science Center at almost $110, woooooo.....

Trial Lesson @ Little Neuro Tree

Joshua has enjoyed the flash cards and songs singing sessions the best! Will I enrol him ? Hmm, not at the moment as he is still very restless and tends to put things in his mouth.

More books

Joshua simply licks on anything that are within his reach. Hence the need to buy glossy books that are waterproof also to prevent him from eating up parts of the pages!

I Can Write!

It's not within my initial plan for Jeremy to write his chinese name at 4yo 5mths, but he did it unexpectedly! Here he was writing his chinese name worksheet he brought home from school.*

* I had customed made a chinese name dot-to-dot book just 2 weeks ago and b4 it arrives, his school already started them practising their chinese name!!

Salt Lamp = Negative Ions ??

Been wanting to get one salt lamp years ago but as it was quite pricey for my consideration, I've then put off the idea. And just days ago, I saw someone selling at a local forum at a very attractive price !! After checking on the pickup location, here it is sitting in our house :)

Solar Grasshopper

This is an amazing easy experiment to teach children about solar energy. Cool!

Online Learning for Jeremy

Today no school for Jeremy as tomorrow's his zoo excursion so he stays home till 3pm for his mental arithematic class.

And I've found a very good website that teaches the whole spectrum of English for children aged 4-8 and decided to download the 14days trial for Jeremy. Jeremy aced most of the activities and he enjoys learning through this media ! Hence, this shall be part of his homeschooling curriculum too!

Visual Stimulation Infant Books

Added few more books for Joshua's eyes & right brain training purposes. And I found some A3 laminated mini posters for him instead of those typical huge wall charts that need to paste onto walls. Cool!

Chinese Readers for Primary One

As I was browsing some books at the bookstore, I saw these series of books which captured my attention instantly!! I took a quite peek and "Wow" ...and now these books are seated nicely on our bookshelf.

e-Learning

I have not been organised in my daily homeschooling plan for Jamie (not to mention Jeremy!) till I have decided to draft up a routine time-table so that I will strictly follow it through. Here, I am incorporating e-learning into the curriculum.

Student Progress Report

This evening Jeremy took back his chinese report card from the enrichment school. I am pleased wif his progress though he has been rather mischevious on stage. And below is Jamie's report when she took back on Wednesday night. As usual, she is weaker in her oral and expression.
