“Good”
July 10, 2011 3 Comments
My son has formally started school this school year. He is now in Kindergarden. I am glad that he is enjoying learning and even if he sometimes doesn’t like to do or finish the activities, still, he gets into the habit of finishing what he started. One of the reasons why we chose to homeschool him is because we really want to instill the value of love for learning and character development.
Just the other day, because he was very diligent in doing his work, I gave him a “star” for his good character! I sometimes give stamps as a reward to let him realize that working hard would sometimes give you benefits in the end. It has been a challenge but I am glad that we are moving in the right direction.
Homeschool Help: Preschool Packs

When we saw the Transportation Preschool Pack from
My son really wanted to do the lapbook and was very excited to put it all together!
If you have a preschooler at home, you must visit 1+1+1=1 and see all the different preschool packs which your preschooler can work on. Lapbooks like this one can help develop motor skills, math and reading skills of your child, best of all, you don’t have to tell your child to do it because he is enjoying it so much!
Putting The Pieces Together
April 19, 2011 8 Comments
Summer is definitely here! It is so hot during the day time and we can not go outdoors to play even if we want to because of the scorching heat! My kids want to ride their bike and scooter but we can only do that late in the afternoon to avoid sun burn and heat stroke.
So how do I keep them busy at home? Aside from watching videos, I make sure we do some arts and crafts. We also do a lot of reading. We also play games and puzzles. Recently, I noticed that my son loves to put puzzle pieces together so we bought him some new puzzles to play with. I was astonished to see that he can put the pieces together easily and that he was able to actually finish the puzzle. I am a puzzle fanatic myself and I am glad that my son has developed some sort of perseverance on his own – to finish the puzzle.
I believe that putting puzzle pieces together increases one’s determination and focus on doing something. It also helps the hand and eye coordination of a person. Aside from that, it is also a good family bonding activity!
