Enjoying learning in my way

Mummy and Xuan enjoy learning through our daily chat and play! Be in sloughing at the sofa, sitting on bed… we always make it comfortable and relaxing. The conventional way of learning by sitting down on chair and around a table before lots of book is definitely outdated for us. :p




Counting
Mummy is happy to share that Xuan has learnt how to count! From 2 items to 3 items last night.

Mummy and Xuan were reading last night and mummy was causally pointing to a picture of 3 balls and to mummy’s surprise, Xuan said,”mummy, I like the 3 balls!”
Xuan did not use her magic pointer to count! Xuan knew that there are 3 balls by looking at it. Kids’ mental photograhic counting? Mummy wasn’t sure. In any case, mummy is thrilled.

Xuan is watching Richard Scarly Best Counting Video best ever currently and mummy thinks that the VCD has done its fair part.

Day of the week
Xuan has a magnetic board with day of the week and mini magnets of stars and animals to complete.

Last Monday, Xuan sang the “Day of the week” song as she arranged the magnets.
“Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday……Saturday” Another surprise for mummy! Although Xuan tends to miss out Thursday and Sunday, mummy thought that it is already great cos we only sing and humm the song once in a while.

This magnetic board is also great for learning how to count. E.g Mummy will ask for 2or 3 stars from Xuan to paste on the row of Monday and Xuan will happily look for them and pass to mummy. Xuan has so far got everything correct. Mummy is still learning from the internet for more interesting ideas and games to learn math and numbers with Xuan!



What is the time now?
Xuan: Mummy, our clock has no numbers.
(we read the time by the stroke on the clock)
Mummy: Xuan wants to see the number on the clock and read the time?
Xuan: Ya mummy..
Mummy: Shall we go and buy a clock with number for Xuan?
Xuan: yes!!!!

New shopping agenda for this weekend: A number clock!! 
