Are you confused?
Child, Parenting, Preschool, School-study June 22nd, 2008Today is the Last Day of the one month long School Holidays, Yippeee!!!! Finally, my life can be back to the more predictable routine, instead of squeezing my brain for new stuff to do with them day in, day out.
You see, during school holidays, they don’t nap because they wake up really late. Then the question of “Mommy, can you play with me”will come right after they had their morning milk and this will continue to wee hours like 1am! Their energy level is unbelievable!
This mid-year school break WAS really fruitful, especially for my preschool Keatkeat. Finally he is able to spell from 1-20, know the days of the week through the song I created, improve on his motor skills, which is still a little behind his 15 months younger bro in some ways, recognise almost 10 car brand logos, paint at home for the very first time, help to cook too, etc….
So on this last day, I tested him with this…. which my hubby thinks was too CONFUSING for a 4 year old. What do you think? Too confusing? Too tough on him?
But he scored really well, without any prompting or assistance, remember, its a Test. I wasn’t too harsh on him too, I gave him a chance to look through his answers twice before handing the worksheets back to me.
I’m glad I did gave him time to check over, ‘cos that’s when he noticed some mistakes he made, as you can see the signs of stuff being erased and rewritten over.
Though he may not have scored full-marks for this last one, I’m happy with the results. He used to be much worse off.
My hubby still thinks that it was too tough for him…..hmmmm
It’s funny how the old feeling of giving tuition to other kids, in my younger years, comes right back as I put every red tick on each correct answer and (as usual) give lots of stars…..Keatkeat wanted 39 stars and I granted his wish. *smile*

Wow! Very impressive! Is he born in the same year as Z, 2001 or younger?
It is tough but what most important is that he is learning and enjoying the lesson with you :)

Think its a little confusing but u know your kids better…so don’t worry what others said. beside, keatkeat did pretty well!
And its good of you to start him with double checking on his work before handing up to you..it cost them dearly for all the careless mistakes when they goes to Pri…

I don’t think you’re being too hard on him at all! As long as you’re making learning fun there is nothing wrong with challenging them.

well, I think if he’s ok with the test, then it’s not too tough.. kids need a little challenge else they feel bored, at least that’s how I feel..

Wow, no, that is amazing! And only four! My daughter is 8 and is having difficulties with math. She’s out of school in a few days and we’ve already started doing quizes at home. If I would have realized how effective they are we would have been doing this all along! Such pride when she gets it.
