Well! I also look forward to another playgroup this morning! So upset that YMCA offers english playgroup for my kid in March only!therefore, I have to look for a new one!
我都好想阿女認知能力高d,但每日返到屋企都五六点!吃完饭都赶同阿女冲凉!(sorry!the school computer shows simplied chinese suddenly)! Then, 8:30 pm is time to bed! So, I could only spend less than an hour to teach her vocab.
Does full time mother have more time to teach kids? Or just because I do not make good use of the time available?
Have you visited the icefire on-sale? any cheap items be bought?
Does full time mother have more time to teach kids?
<= 咁我由朝到晚都對住佢喎, 我去邊佢去邊, 點計都梗係我有多啲時間教佢啦. 不過, 多時間並唔代表我教得effective教得好. 你係miss, 我諗你嘅方法點都會比我好啲.
家陣教佢big, bigger, biggest 即係大過, 細過最頭痕. 都唔知點表達比佢知..
(as I heard someone said, from BB point of view, every object got a name, so teaching them the names are quite easy!)
but now, when talking about triangle, circle, square, bigger, smaller & colors, this is a bit difficult for me.
no ar.. finally I didn't go, my husband suddenly come back early yesterday afternoon, need to entertain him ar!!!
right now, still in English (technical problem of my notebook!)
Teaching about colors, shapes and sizes.....me too! very difficult! Right now, I focus on teaching colors and shapes..but fail of course!
Start from Nov 2009, our kids have to attend K1 interviews and most interview questions involve matching colors and shapes.. but our kids will study N1 this Aug/Sep...so as parents, we can't rely the nursery teachers on teaching our kids about colors and shapes !
I wonder if most playgroups teach kids about colors and shapes or not. The one my daughter attending, not! That's one of the reason I am looking for some "good" playgroups right now!
In fact, I've brought a lot of books and toys to faciliate teaching these topics, but maybe lacking teaching methods (though I'm so called "teacher"), they do not work!!! Or just because her mentality does not reach the level high enough to learn the skills???? Who knows!
For N1/k1, which one would you prefer,
1. a.m. class or p.m. class?
2. Chinese/English class or International class?
(for reference only)
I've heard that kids should attend international classes only if they will study international primary/secondary schools..But I know some mami still choose international classes even they plan their children to study local primary schools.. the reason is to expose to more English environment
My daughter troubles me again! Recently, she likes screaming and screaming loudly to express her dislikes/anger/disagreement.....Does Chloe do that?

As Chloe loves balloons, I bought a lot of colourful balloons. Sometimes I make different sizes of balloon (same color) so as to show her what is big, what is small, etc etc.
I found 'this method' quite work on Chloe.
Or, may be u can try, using Michelle favourite toys.
For N1/k1, which one would you prefer,
1. a.m. class or p.m. class?
<= 我會揀am. 感覺上, 好似多啲時間用咁.
2. Chinese/English class or International class?
(for reference only)
<= International (From my understanding, international class = 英語 & 普通話班, Chinese/English class = 中英班, 即廣東話 & 英語班.)
My daughter troubles me again! Recently, she likes screaming and screaming loudly to express her dislikes/anger/disagreement.....Does Chloe do that?
<= yes, she did, but not always. She prefers crying instead of screaming.
Anyway, everytime she screams, I tell her that this is very bad and she is naughty. Mama doesn't like this. Then I go away.
After several times, she stops screaming! (oh, actually I dunno if she really understands or not, just, now she seldom screams.)
carmen, 想問下你,你最後有無join幼聯playgroup?你上次試堂,係吳係都有兩個miss, 一個年紀幾大的中囯女人,叫ms, san-san(我自己拼音),另一個年輕印度籍(估計)女人?我想找d english playgroup, 但ymca要三月中先報得,可能想join番幼聯!其實,青衣有個鬼婆係屋企搞playgroup, BKmami讚到不得了,但我番了幾堂,覺得太多free play time, 同埋會教phonics , 個人認為甘細個學phonics係曬氣。。。
carmen, 想問下你,你最後有無join幼聯playgroup?
<= 無呀.. 佢地話早上嘅堂, 只有星期四 / 六, 我唔想星期六上, 但星期四佢話已經full左.. they said they got a new class coming .. on wed 14:00-15:00, but that's not a good time for us.
as a result, I left my contact info, just in case they have vacancies on weekday morning, they will call me lar..
so I am still finding english playgroup for BB.
thanks for your reply! By the way, both of us should look for english playgroups for our babies! The one you and I now joining aims at training babies' big and small muscles as well as other intelligence, the instructors perform the class in Chinese....
你係唔係報左九龍塘迦南?我雖然無報,但都會去八卦下這些熱門prenursery的情況!我係bk討論區見到話已經in曬大仔,出了信通知,而細仔媽媽就係度討論他門是否還有得in! 有些家長好angry,她門打電話, d staff話已經收曬學生,吳會再in...但有一兩個得到的囘覆係三月再in!
可能你要再打電話去confirm!
今日上playgroup, 阿sir問有無仔去in Victoria, 哈!好多競爭對手!大家係度討論如何囘答幾題問卷中的題目,我無出聲,阿sir 話寫得唔好唔使旨意有得讀!我就唔信會靠幾句答案去決定收唔收啦!題目類似係甘,我都無仔細看看:
Q1, why do you apply Victoria?
Q2, how do you spend the weekends with your child?
Q3, what are the strengths of your child?
你都有填learning habitat份form,仲誇張啦!
不過, 你有無發現好多form只要父母填所讀中學及小學, 而不需問degree or even master degree !我覺得因為如果父母係名校生,子女入讀機會大(有些有分加)這樣,這些kindergarten就可以有好“靚“的升小情況了!
