1 Student 1 Plant

Ian's homeschool practiced 1 student 1 plant, to be placed it in the class room.  So I considered houseplants, keep air pure.  Normally palms, English ivy, ferns, mums and similar plants remove up to 87 percent of indoor pollutants.

We brought him to a nursery, he's chosen a plant called Compacta.  Compacta is similar to Janet Craig but much smaller, it's slow growing and very durable.

Caterpillar

I found this caterpillar inside the vegetables while I was washing it, so I placed it on a plate with some leaves for the kids to play and explore.

Learning Numbers_11 & 12

Prepare him to K1, so I started to teach him number 11 & 12.  Get him to count it by using ice-cream sticks, crafts deco and his favourite lego bricks.

My Body

Homeschool my little one with fun activity, I started with "My Body".

Part I:
Ryan already knew the part of his body, including the name and function, so Ryan as a model, Bro Ian will help to draw the body outline with pencil, I helped to draw the final outfit with marker pen.  Besides, I wanted him to recognize his kindy uniform by drawing it. 

Part II:
It's colouring section, Bro Ian and Ryan coloured together, and I let them used the water colour.  Nevertheless, if you observed carefully, there's some defects, but I was satisfied because the purpose was to let them enjoy the activity in the process. 

I printed the vocabulary, cut into individual, placed in a small panel, and Ryan applied glue on it and stuck on the appropriate line.

I think in the process, the teaching points will be:
-  cultivate team work & cooperation;
-  recognize rules;
-  able to follow instruction;
-  learn the vocab;
-  fine motor skill
