Book stash from HK

Nowadays, I have a conscious effort to scour bookstores for Ahren's book stash every time I am out of the country.

Here are the books I got from Commercial Press on a recent trip to Hongkong:

Ahren is getting better at solving bigger numbers, as you can see, he still commits mistakes, but I don't mind that too much..I don't expect perfect scores especially since he's just starting to feel the groove and getting confident in answering bigger numbers.

He likewise did some spelling exercise. It's still a work in progress.

Lessons of the day

Spelling

Ahren likewise read-aloud our book on "Overdoing it."

Homeschool Saturdate

We were able to catch up on our activity backlog despite our four-day hiatus. Overall, I'm pleased with Ahren's progress in reading and comprehension. He's also good at answering analogies.

Ahren still has to build up his confidence in writing (but he has a nice penmanship) and spelling, so I devised a dictation activity for him. Hope it works out well.

Making things work

Today, Ahren started his day by attending a classmate's birthday party.

After a quick rest, Ahren played with his toy cars. I used this moment to bring out our circuits (I like this set because it incorporates STEM).

He also figured out how to make a simple knot and used this newly acquired skill to tie a rope around his bucket, make some sort of a pulley to pull the bucket up and down the other side of our fence.

Ahren's Homeschool activities

Still snipping here.  I'm trying to really enhance his fine motor skills 'coz kindergarten entails a lot of fine motor exercise.

My son is a very active and inquisitive boy, so keeping him  on track is always a challenge.

Morning message: to encourage Ahren to recognize the words and read mommy's message. It also serves as a copy work activity.
