Vernon's ART class collection

24-Sept-2010 - I have been sending Vernon to Da Vinci Art program since last month (Aug'10). This is his 3rd lesson and his teacher have given a good commend on his talent. I can see he is getting good & improving in his drawing and coloring. At least it proof that I did not make a wrong choice of sending him to this program. Becoz initially I have some conflict with James that I insisted want to send Vernon to another Art class in a local school. However, James comment that that Art class location is not so strategic for us to send and pick him and furthermore the lightning of the class is not enough, it will damage the kids eye for long term.

Every week, he look forward asking me when he is going to his Art Class again. I always reminded him that he will go to Art class only on every Friday evening.

how lucky am i is Nai Nai is helping us to drive him to the class @ 7pm. I or James will pick him after the class.

Singing Chinese Song

Jul-2010 : I just realized that Vernon pick up Chinese Song though he not really know every single words of the song. But when u see the Karaoke, he really follow the timing and words by words sing.

Learning Spelling, Chinese & Math

May -2010 : Vernon starting to learn spelling. Let me tell u how he learn spelling, Chinese & math , he learn the words by asking us and watching the Astro learning channel. No doubt after Gerald born, the time I spend with him is lesser than before. Every evening when I gave him bath, he usually will ask me a words or 2, and he want me to spell the words for him. After he had his bath, he will ask for a paper and repeat writing out the words his knew.
and arrange the words out by using his magnet alphabet. sometime he will ask me why his magnet alphabet have only 1 "C". Not enough to put up a word - Chocolate.
like just now, he ask me how to spell BOUNCE. usually I will ask him back what is that means? he then will show me with his ball. he told me when u drop the ball, the ball will bounce loh.
This proof to me that he is learning the words & understand the meaning as well.
Every Sunday, he love to watch the TVIQ where they will have a simple math (+/-) for the kids to learn. so he learn lots of simple 1+1 = 2, 2+3 = 5 and 5 -1 = 4 from there. Starting he use to count by his finger. now he is getting better with his brain.

Rewards from Teacher

25-Mar-2010 - Thurseday.
Now Vernon is in N2 class and I can see the homework and skills of learning is much different and tougher than last year N1 class. Everyday, the teacher Grace will give them at least 2 pages of home work. They will either ask to write alphabet or letter 1,2, or 3 & so on.
I told my MIL that make sure Vernon done his homework right after school & before he went for afternoon nap. I want to train him to be more proactive in completing his homework.
he is getting lazy & lazy when he got TV, he will totally forget about his homework so every evening when I get home, i have to make sure he finish his homework.
Today, when I arrived at MIL house. MIL told me that Vernon got a chocolate bar & a jelly rewards from Teacher Grace. Vernon gave a very good answer when Teacher ask to spell the words - Zero, one & two. The whole class of 20 unable to spell it out, but he did it.
I am so proud of him. and this definitely will help him on his continue learning.
He is now interested to learn on the vocabulary/spelling of the words that he came across everyday. So every time when we talk a word or he saw something that new to him, he will ask how to spell that word. I think this is where he start learn the words/spelling.
