Reading & Math

Cerita pasal WKH jr and his homework....

Being a mom is definitely hard. Esp for someone who is soooo temperamental like meself. Hanginnnn jek. Well, WKh jr is 6 this yr.. and need a lot of catching up to do. Infact, i self-promise that 2007 is the year of 'study'. Can no longer play-play, thats why i enroll him to 'serious school' . SO nak jadi cerita ni, kat kiddy ni banyaklah homework and saya sebenarnya suka kalau ada homework. Kalau tahun lepas tu... from april - nov (ooo rupanya dia sekolah 7 bulan jek kat surau ... hehehe aku pun baru kira). tak pernah sekali (ada sekali kut), dia bawak balik homework. dah tanya ustazah , ustazah cakap, kalau bg pun budak2 tak buat. so i took for granted la.. that anak aku ni cam anak org lain la..dah boleh lah kenal abc dan numbers.

Citer friday...

- sampai kelas, teacher tanya , where's your mama. and teacher asked me, WKH jr knows 1-20 or not. i said yes la. but she said, when i ask him to write 6, he doesnt know, and addition wthin 1-10 also dont know... haiya... hampeh betulla. nanti aku nak buat spot test...tau ke tak tau.

Citer saturday..

- ptg, balik dr main boling segala.. (camner aku nak masuk tornament nih, main 2 game.. satu 68 ,2nd game 88. tak aji pun... ). ajar anak buat homework. dah beli buku math. so try lah buat. rupa2nya anak aku ni mmg ada masalah dlm math. kalau kira MESTI guna jari. 1+ 1 pun nak guna jari, pastu kira dari 1. hish...out betul lah. apa lagi lah yang 2,3,4,5..... .

- problem kalau 6 + 1. mmg tak cukup jari lah. sbb dia hanya boleh kalau satu tangan + dgn satu tangan.

- so i follow the book, use 'count after'. meaning 5 + 1, 5 simpan dlm otak and add just the number left. olso cannot jalan with my son. geram betul... kena lah cubit dan pulas-memulas.

Citer sunday..

Mmg aku dah tau dia ada homework math. dan addition after 10. method apa aku nak guna? hopeless betulla. aku cakap, abang ni lemah lah matematik. tapi dia kata, dia ok reading. tapi aku rasa reading pun lemah jugak. sbb dia hafal jek. bukan tau eja pun....

- ended up, ambil sudu plastik 10. suruh dia buat. ada 20 soalan.

4+6 =

9 + 3 =

so, aku suruh no besar simpan dlm otak, no kecik guna sudu.. letak atas lantai. pastu kita no. selepas....

bolehlah buat... tapi setiap soalan tanya, setiap soalan kena coaching. adussss.

Sekarang ni, i suppose to do my tender document (keje dr opis la), tapi yg aku dah buat.. surf blog2 yg menarik. + gossip. pahtu tgh tengok site Top Ten Ways to Help Your Kids Do Well in Math. dari 1-10, satu pun tak leh apply.

akak dah fenin..................

Plus side.. he just finished his ladybird book 1, and now was so engrossed with his 'dragon in the den'. Maybe like some ppl said, your child cannot be good in both.. alpahabet and numbers. harap2 dia suka reading2 ni and his math can develop later. harap lah.............

Si kenit tu pulak.......................... tak tau la. hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

CAMNI RUPANYA JADI MAK NI YA......................... well abun and roxai, kudos to both of u.

ma kita dulu camner ya? risau camni jugakke kalau kita ni tak pandai2.
