Mommy’s Class

I know myself very well that I can’t homeschool my kids seriously, but I will try my best to coach them on their work, except on Thai subject.

Every school night, the kids and I will spend some time on English, Maths, maze or coloring. I bought some workbooks from Malaysia last time, but it’s only now that both kids are showing interests in completing the books. I’m glad that Isabelle is interested in writing too, even if her attention span is rather short and she will run off to play after a few minutes. She prefers to color the worksheets, or circle the right answer, instead of writing the same letter repetitively. I guess it’s too boring for her.

Justin said that it’s “mommy’s class” at home, and I’m the teacher, while they are the students. LOL! Some times, Isabelle will be the teacher, when she’s playful and I will be the one “doing the work” or reading out load with her. I get a better idea on how she learns at school too, as she’s imitating her teachers. LOL!

As for Justin, I’m glad that he has a better concept on addition and phonics now. Their school syllabus is quite slow, as comparing to what they will learn back home. But if my kids enjoy learning more than their school work, I shall help them with it.

After doing their work for about 15 – 30 minutes, it’s play time with daddy, and that’s the reward for doing their work well. LOL! Now you know another reason why hubby lost a lot of weight even without Kettlebell since we moved here huh? He’s too busy playing with the kids!
