I'm a full-time mummy

Hello! Here's the next number writing worksheet I created for my 4 years old boy in our homeschooling lessons. Here's a picture of my boy's worksheet (taken on 29th April 2013) on his first attempt at writing number 6.

And here's a picture of another worksheet (taken on 9th May 2013) on his second attempt at writing number 6.

There are times when my boy struggled to remember how to write number 6, I had to remind him to write the letter C and close the end of the letter C with a circle so that it ends up looking like a number 6. He got the concept after a few practises.

I don't have designing experience but if you would like a copy of the learning to write number 6 template that I created, feel free to download it here (Learning to Write Number 6.pdf (281.53 kb)) Please note that it is for personal use and I do not own any copyrights to the images used in the worksheet - all the images are from Microsoft Clip Arts.

That's all the updates I can share for now, feel free to ask and share if you have feedback!

Hello! Here's the next number writing worksheet I created for my 4 years old boy in our homeschooling lessons. I explained to my boy to draw a line towards right side, then another line downwards and half moon so that it looks like number 5 in the end. Here's a picture of my boy's worksheet (taken on 30th April 2013) on his first attempt at writing number 5.

This has got to be the EASIEST number ever that my boy was able to learn really FAST! I was pretty impressed to see how he did even for his first attempt! Stark contrast compared to practising number 4... which I ended up revising another design for him to practise on (he's doing well with the new design version now for number 4)

I used to read how homeschooling parents love to go on field trips and sightseeing trips and holidays as that would mean opportunities for their homeschoolers to learn things. I can't imagine how that is going to happen until we had our family day trip at the bird park recently... the last time we went there were early this year to bring our Swedish cousins to visit some of the hot spots in Kuala Lumpur.

Well, this week, I'm sharing how a simple family trip can be a source of learning for our homeschooling children as well! So anyway, we had our brunch on Saturday 4th May 2013 and we thought, oh well, let's just go to Bird Park again since there's nothing to do at home. So we headed there. And I tried snapping as much pictures as I possibly can...

My 4 years old boy was particularly mesmerised with the peacocks this round. Previously? Not much interest. This time, one of the peacocks opened up its tails and showed everyone nearby its feathers (not much left actually) and my boy stood and watched with much interest.

I also took the chance to explain to him that male animals are particularly more colorful than the female ones because they need to attract the female's attention. And this time, we also get to see a peahen and its baby! Cute! I also explained to my boy why the pea chick keeps tagging along to its mummy (for protection and food)

I thought things will get back to normal once we went back home. That's when I realised my boy's memory is still fresh and strong. Because I started seeing things like this from my 4 years old boy...

** Disclaimer: FYI, I have not even started teaching my boy how to draw because uhmmm... I am not a good artist at all, in fact I shudder everytime we have Arts class during school days especially when it comes to drawing activities... crafts no problem... but drawing... I am very weak in this... so anyway, the drawings by my boy is solely his own creation and imagination...

Amazing right?!
