SM: April to June 11

We have started Nikitin in May. I have bought 2 sets of nikitins from colleagu whose kids quitted SM long ago.The price i get is really Best value haa..

Missy is able to do her first Nikitin session today with my instruction and she is the first to complete it. Not bad at all. I ask Sinsei, what are we testing them in nikitin, Sinsei said "speed".mm.

we still have one poem recital per month, peg memory is on-going , not is 30 plus cards. flash memory is vegetables themes. brain excellent is LM set 2C in June.

missy is not showing excellent achievment in right brain exercise like image photo/mandala, but she is considrd fair in these area. her recital/memory is more powerful hope this will help her in the future. she even able to recital chinese poem after 2 repetition.

SM: 4 yo Jan to March

The goals for this term - 4 yo (Jan to March 2011)

1. Able to use fingers for a variety of written tasks
2. Have good flash memory
3. Able to reconstruct a pattern from image

We have a new student last week, which now made the class full , 6 students altogether. 5 girls 1 boy. they are Arthur(Nov), Mandy(sept), Angela(Nov), one more girl which is Nov too but i cant remember her name and the new girl which i don't know her name or month of birth.

So, this time, all of them are either 3rd quater or 4th quater babies, which is better i guess,. lil missy and Angela both have are very strong in poems recital, LM recital, flash memory and peg memory. when we come to this session, the two is conquering the recital in the class. while the other 4 will look on as they cant compete the speed the two utter the words. Great job for the two.

Now, im working on lil missy mandarin, our "san ji jing" we are in page 6 now.. so far so good,.

as in writing, missy is starting to try on number 4,7 ,"A" "C".. the rest still in progress..

SM - 4 yo class

We are starting our New Year with a new class. which i don't really know the children's name yet.

As previous class (forms by 4 girls) has ceased due to 2 students (Megan & Tyra) withdrawn. so the class of two (Ashley& us) cant continue, sinsei took over other class which the other sinsei quit or something. So, we have changed to other class of a new time slot. this class has 3 girls & 1 boy. 5 altogether.

the new thing in this term:
1. Peg memory - remember the word peg with number ( adv : in spelling next time)
2. LM - recital only. no need to arrange
3. recital - poems
4. high speed memory (HSM) - instantly need to remember and arrange the cards -5 each time
5. Flash memory - this temr is about occupation

all about memory. a bit stressful for missy i guess. cos i keep testing her and she sometimes tell me, i don't know !. sigh. hope im not pushing her too hard.
