Poem: Taking a Bath

Our second Poems for this term for SM: for Nov 2010

Taking a Bath

Taking My bath
i try try try
to wipe myself
till i'm dry dry dry

hands to wipe
and fingers and toes
and two wet legs
and a shiny nose

Just think how much
less time i'd take
if i were a dog,
and could shake shake shake

Missy is able to recite the poem after i read to her for few times, she is able to stand there and recite loudly. Of course, with lots of encouragement from us. Great job my girl !

I hope this poem recital can boast her confidence and also memory.

SM: Yawn song

We like the song that comes with a Sun face but in between, the sun yawn..

The lyrics:

When the day began,
i open my eyes,
and stretch my arms,
and open my mouth.

and, yawn. Ouhhhh.. (tt's when the yawn picture came onto the sun's face)
and , yawn. Ouhh..

and the song repeats..

The children in class will be laughing when reach the sun yawning part :)

SM- 4th terms -2010

We are now into the final term for 2010. missy class now has 4 girls, one born in Jan(Tyra), one in August(Megan), missy in Sept, and one in Nov(Zi Tong/Ashley). We can see the Jan girl doing much better than the rest, in term of concentration and understanding. But i believe all of them are equally good, just that the Jan-born girl (Tyra) is starting to output, while the rest is still in the inputting stage.

We have a poem to recite this term. Called Rocket. I read once to missy, get her to repeat after me. Then she is able to recite the whole poem. she has never stop to amaze me.

Rocket
======
I am a rocket
Crouched on the ground
Waiting quietly
without a sound

Light this fuse
on my little toe
waiting to take off
Here i go
Whooshhh..

They are suppose to recite in front of the class. which i have some concern, as i noticed missy usually will shy off if we ask her to "show-off" what she knows.. she will either keep looking at me, twisting her tongue, or speak with super tiny voice..

so, i hope to train her confidence, get her to be more outspoken. hopefully, with the practise, she will be better.

SM- Addition & Substraction

besides Linking memory set we bought for missy set 123 A & set 123B, recently we added anotehr mathematics set (besides dots program), this set includes of CD+worksheet.

Missy suppose to listen to the CD, which we bought addition & multiplication, which are the only set available in Tensai shop. this is how it works,

We will play the CD which sing the addition like below:

1+1 =2
2+1 =3
3=1 =4

all the way to 9+1 =10.. it's like singing in rhythm, so children will use their right brain to remember while pointing at the worksheet with the equation above..

so, hopefully missy will like mathematics more..

SM - Three Yo (July - Sept) Goal

This term, missy suppose to be able to pick up the following:

3 years old Ju;y -September:
1. Able to add and divide

2. able to fix block s according to diagram

3. Has good instant memory

4. Able to recall sounds and their pictures

well, from my observation, missy can do (2) & (4) but (1).. she still not able to recognise numbers more than 4.. shake head. (3), she is ok, but LM still sometimes ok, sometimes not..

Keep it up !
