Our Homeschool Room

I just love our homeschool Science book for our li’l girl. It’s the Usborne Internet -Linked Children’s Encylopedia. Each topic is only covered in 2 colorful pages complete with illustrations and descriptions that are very easy for the children to understand and remember. The book is also internet linked so every topic will have its corresponding links to websites that will be very helpful in supplementing the children’s knowledge and experience for the topic. Most of the links are videos, interactive games and activities that my daughter really enjoy. I’m amazed by how my daughter... 

I mentioned in my post yesterday about teaching my li’l girl the Philippine National Anthem. I first search for the lyrics from Wikipedia so, I could print it out for my girl to see. Oh, of course I still remember our national anthem, but I just want to make sure of the spelling of some words. Then, I let her listen to the beat from the audio file in the Wikipedia. It was only then I remembered of searching for videos from Youtube. I remember when I was still younger that before the last full show, a video of the Philippine national anthem will be shown and in which everyone is required...

I’m now teaching our li’l girl the Philippine National Anthem. Since we are a cross cultural family in a cross cultural setting, I need to slowly let her learn a few things from my country (Philippines), my Hubby’s country ( Malaysia) and our resident country ( Thailand). So, with any biases, I’m letting her learn my national anthem first. I know it won’t be an easy task for her since our National Anthem will be in Filipino, a language which she hasn’t learn yet. So, my plan is to let her memorize 2 stanzas per session. I hope this will work and she will be... 

I was doing the Book of Time with my 6 year old daughter today. The Book of Time is actually just a Timeline in which we stick all the images of different events, people and places on each specific year or period. Doing this, the kids will somehow have a visual picture of the ‘entire’ history which I believe allows them to relate each character or events better and remembers them more easily. We were actually not very up-to-date with our Book of Time. We were supposed to stick each character or event as we read them in my daughter’s History books, but then I find it quite disruptive...
