Home-SU-Cool

Thankful for another year of smooth paperwork. Really, paperwork for NYC isn't as daunting and scary as it sounds...

Day out. It's always fun to be out and exploring the city.     Christopher Columbus   The MANY books we borrowed. The Picture book is Ian's favorite. I still have yet to finish reading the "Step into Reading" one with him. But we started on "Boxcar Children #1" and we both love it. I feel the reading is a bit much(hopefully will get better in time) In addition to the read-alouds from The Story of US and Pioneers and Patriots it really is quite a lot to read!   Ian's retelling of the story   Time line     Making the boats. The aluminum foil is a GREAT idea. BIBLE : We did the Jesus (The Lord Saves) coloring. Ian chose "brown" cos it's the Jesus' color. The cross, he said. =) And we read many verses from the Discovery Bible on the OT talking about Jesus. SCIENCE : Air (takes up space)   And we watched two videos that are fun about Christopher Columbus. MATH: This week we did more comparing numbe...

  2nd time doing K and I'm hyped up.   Creation page: Day 2   Creation page: Day 3   Creation page: Day 4   Creation page: Day 5   Creation page: Day 6   The finished book   The humorous one. Found she cut out "Mickey Mouse" from "3"   The completed creation numbers   For Day 6: Dot to Dot   Fishing for lower case alphabets and naming them   Pre School-time fun: Alphabet toy   We're using The Earlybird Kindergarten Mathematics, too easy for her but a good start   Creation Revision Game. She's playing the folder game her brother did 2 years back .   This is my proudest. This year I managed to do ALL the creation snacks everyday. It was really fun!! =) (btw, Day 5 was fish crackers and bird's nest , which happened to be an expensive tonic for pregnant mommy) Other than these, the K'ner joins in whenever we have things appropriate with her brother, who is doing Adventure...

We use my iPad quite frequently, for school and myself. Here is our list of our favorite iPad Apps (till now) (and most of them are free, at least when we got them) Children Mickey Mouse Road Rally (free. The kids REALLY love this and me too, quite fun, interactive and educational) Puzzingo (free. like a wooden puzzle game and the younger ones LOVE this) Toca Doctor (we got it free, now $1.99, but it's quite fun for the younger ones, to "heal all the ailments" of the body, by putting up band-aid, or pulling out spikes, taking away germs etc) Teach Me ($1.99. we got them for a review, there's a toddler, K, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade versions. Read our review here ) Avatar Books App (free. I found this app VERY amusing because we get to put our kids' photos up at the avatar and the kids love it but as a book it's ok..) How to Draw (we got it free, now $1.99, I didn't like it THAT much, but funny thing was Colleen REALLY REALLY likes it) Stel...

  1st day of school! Pardon the hair-do. =) Ian requested for the sign...He's just such a boy.   Daddy planned and made breakfast for us. He doesn't cook as much now so this is quite a feat for him! He had to wake up early for this and we're so grateful he's our daddy!! BIBLE   Ian has his own bible this year. He is in charge of reading the bible verses for meimei, who's doing the creation unit for Kindergarten.   We're learning about the names of Jesus this year and this is Ian's name poster. ART   I really like our art curriculum this year. Ian too, especially the fact he get to do art EVERYDAY.   This is another eg. US HISTORY   We were supposed to do a patriotic snack for day 1. Since we already did the berries layered with ice-cream thing for July 4th, I did this. But I ran out of Jell-O, so I used gelatin. YUCK. I didn't use enough sugar. The kids didn't like it, so didn't I.   This is quite a good and easy boo...
