Mathematics For 5-Year Olds

Don’t you think this is a tad tough for a 5-year old (in Aly’s case, a 4-year old)?  Or is this the norm?  Alycia can only count and recognize numbers from 1 through 20+ but her pre-school is already teaching the 5-year olds in her class numbers up to 30. Alycia is the youngest in the class being a December child.

I don’t think Aly really comprehends what ‘comes between’ means.  So I think this exercise is really tough for her.   

 

When I coached her in this exercise, I had to write down the numbers from 1 through 30 on a sheet of A4 paper and point out to her to show her where the correct numbers should be in the exercise.

Frankly, do you think this is tough or your 4-year old child already knows the whole concept of this exercise?  Looking at Alycia’s homework each day she brings them home  really scares me big time as I find them to be really tough for a 4 year old. Luckily I am a SAHM who can coach her.  If I were still working and leave her in the care of the sitter, I wonder who will coach her in her homework.  Gosh, I feel like one kiasu mum who is overly concern of her daughter!

Red Tag

Have been tagged by my good blogging pal on this red tag.   It’s not really a difficult tag but time consuming as I had to go through My Pictures folder to find a picture of myself wearing red.  After searching the entire pictures folder, these 2 are the only pix of me in red.

That’s me exercising on my fitball. I used to do this exercise every morning without fail for the past 2 years+ before this pregnancy to relieve my backache.

So, here’s what you have to do in this tag : 

1. Post YOUR photo wearing red, may it be a red top, bottom, the least would be red accessories if you hate wearing red… If you can’t find one, you still have an option. Either post your Significant Other’s photo or your child’s photo, if you have one. Of course, they should be wearing red.

2. Let us know the reason why you were wearing red that particular day. Was it your birthday? Is red your fave color or was it the shirt that you first saw in your closet that day?

3. Tag 3 people close to your heart. By the way, they have to be in your blogroll. No cheating heart pleaseeeeeeee!

4. Once you’re tagged, could we please keep it going – just for this month?

END HERE.

I’d love to see you in red too :

A Jinxed Monday

Hubby had a meeting with his client in PJ this morning. On his way back to his office after the meeting, he met with a car accident. A man in another car, who despite saw hubby’s MPV coming, made a quick U-turn but stepped on his brake all of a sudden when he saw another on-coming car. Hubby could not brake on time and crashed onto the car. The front of hubby’s MPV was badly wrecked, so is the other party’s car. I must thank God that hubby was spared of injuries in the accident. If he were hurt in the accident, like how my brother was hurt in a nasty car accident 20 years ago, we would need to hire a good attorney, like the professional personal injury attorney Omaha based to help us with the accident compensation. I heard that the attorneys from Demerath Law Office in Omaha offer free consultation to their clients and will only charge them if they are successful in obtaining a recovery for their clients.

I hope hubby’s MPV will be fixed within 2 weeks, otherwise he will have to rent an MPV which will cost him a fortune.
