GamePlan

I talked to Schatzy about our gameplan for Jazer's education. I told him that it is better to pursue Homeschool this year and next year we will be moving lil hero to a bigschool. I told him what I liked about homeschool is that lil hero will have more time for his extracurricular activities.

I checked on what options we have. We saw a studio near our place. It offers taekwondo and dance lessons. Tomorrow, Jazer will have his trial class in taekwondo and he will check out the dance class in the afternoon. We will let him choose whatever he wants.

I am really excited for my lil hero. He will be wearing jogging pants and white shirt. Schatzy will be joining us also. I have to charge all the battery of the camera. I am so happy for our decision to homeschool our kid.

Start of Homeschool

It's not yet official since we have not enrolled yet. We purchased our materials in the nearby bookstore. We walked on our way there which is just a few meters away. He is so excited to go home to check on his new loot. He bought paint brushes, watercolor, crayons, colored papers, stickers and scrapbook.

We are both excited because we will ask Dydy to buy their table.

Actually, I'm the one who is really excited.

Math homeschooling equipments...

Just like a store we have a soft opening. I started to introduce him on what we will be doing once we started homeschooling. He loves math. Before anything else, he wants to start with math. We can never move to reading & writing not until he gets enough of his math.

This is what we use...


Plastic wheels from his toys

And a basket where we could put our plastic wheels.

What we would do is place a few pieces inside, add another few, and shake it.

For example we put 4 blue pastic wheels add 5 more yellow plastic wheels shake it and count it again. It's like teaching him to add in a very visual way.

Now we do addition, subtraction and problem solving.

In problem solving, he says "There are 3 plastic wheels inside the basket, if jazer takes away 2 plastic wheels, How many plastic wheels are left?" Then he will answer his own question "1 plastic wheel!"

I never knew I'll be so fulfilled like this. It makes me feel proud to be not just a stay at home mom but a stay at homeschooling mom!

Note: Homeschooling materials doesn't need to be expensive. You just need your imagination.
