Started a home lesson programme for Baby T since 7 June. Each night her little school bag is filled with her home school materials for the next day. Thanks to Aunty Anna for executing the lesson plans!
A typically day consists of:
- A theme
- A story of the day
- Hands-on fun
- A basket of things associated with the theme or story of the day
- A hand-sign of the day
Example:
- Theme: Colours
- Story of the day : Brown bear Brown bear, what do you see by Bill Martin
- Hands-on: Coloring with crayons designed for baby's tiny fingers (found this in Japan)
- A basket of balls in red, blue, yellow and green color
- Signing: Me (hand on chest, tapping once)
I must say, this masterpiece by Bill Martin is a godsend. This book is always there when we needed to have Thaleia's cooperation during the sometimes challenging routines like diaper change, clothing her after a bath etc. She enjoys the rhythm of the story, and the brightly coloured animals introduced to her through the pages. Hubby and I must have chanted this story at least 50 times. She does not get tired of it, it seems..
"Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see? I see a red bird looking at me. Red bird red bird, what do you see, I see a blue horse, looking at me..Blue horse blue horse what do you see, I see a ..." See! I can even memorise the story now..
