Present!

Hello everyone! 

Our homeschooling program took a break for awhile.  During the first week of June, Maverick has accomplished Week 10.  So I still have have to share my record for Weeks 8 to 10.

Before I proceed to our Week 11.. I would probably took a break again from homeschooling to take some time preparing lesson plans and materials.  I've been assessing our activities and it seems that Maverick gets a little bored with my activities, especially with the alphabets and numbers because he knows them already. So I might focus more on the shapes and colors, singing and dancing activities and my priority would be developing or refining his motor skills.  So probably, there will be some changes in my approach of homeschool.  I still don't know yet when we will start our next schooling, because I myself has a lot of technical things to do for myself.

That's it for now, thanks for continuously visiting my site.  Will post the rest of my records once we get back.

Toddler Beginnings Week 7

My notes on Mavi's homeschooling for Week 7

I've been preoccupied with my personal work this month so I wasn't able to prepare as much materials for our learning. Even so, I tried to put as much effort for my boy each day for his homeschool.  You see, our activity each day is only around 30 to 45 minutes in the morning, and 1 hour in the afternoon.  That's the longest time the boy could spend on an activity, either by studying letters, numbers etc.  Much less if he already knows the topic.  Then another 15 minutes for reading. 

But I tell you, the preparations of materials and planning the curriculum for homeschool are the ones that consume much of my time.  Mostly, I work all of these at night, when the boy is asleep and it keeps till the wee hours in the morning just cutting papers, printing, organizing materials per week etc. 

That's the reason why, for this month of May, I only had 2 themes.  Once we're done with week 10, homeschooling will take a break so I will have enough time to prepare my materials for the next 10 weeks.

Theme: Star | Vocabulary: Twinkle| Shape: Star | Letter: G  | Number: 7 | Nursery Rhyme: Wee Willie Winkie

On break

Sorry if I had been away for awhile.  I need to tend to some personal stuff so I've been delaying my posts.  Also, I was not able to give Mavi lessons for Week 9 because of some work to do.  Anyway, I still have to share our homeschool for Week 7 and Week 8, I still have to find time to write the post though.  It's a good thing I take photos during our sessions, it's easier to write when you have pictures rather than remembering what happened on a certain week.

Week 7 and Week 8 post will be coming up next!

Toddler Beginnings Week 6

My notes on Mavi's homeschooling for Week 6

Theme: Rainbow| Vocabulary: Prism | Color: Red | Letter: F  | Number: 6 | Nursery Rhyme: The Little Nut Tree

Finally, I was able to give Mavi the RAINBOW theme. You see, rainbow is a common natural occurrence that appears mostly in children's books and songs. So to give the RAINBOW justice, it needs a grand introduction.
