1st std seems to be throwing a lot of challenges
at my young one.
English is a struggle. Teaching him how to form spellings
and how to read words is a test of patience. Boy is smart, hence uses phonics
as he has been taught, but English being a funny language puts him through a
tough test. Like a “Rough” would be read by him as ro-u-ga-h, coz G says ga
according to phonics. Explaining why its TOE and not To and its EAR and not
Eyar…ufff!!! I need to learn to teach!
Maths showing some improvement with Abacus training. He’s
picked up speed in simple addition & subtraction and getting ready for
state level abacus exam to be held in august.
Every evening we spend time together doing homework, then 1
page of abacus, then 2 pages of English Olympiad.
Baby is on her own now. She only needs my presence for
studying.Maths continues with silly mistakes, she will be careful next time I know.
Appaji is off on biking tour to Leh Ladakh for 13 days and
kids have their 1st assessment starting from the 6th. Am
prepared to go crazy managing the show at home :-D
Both the kids wait for me to be home and are very happy if they find me home when they are back from school. So I shall try to keep it that way as much as possible :)
