Actualy I arranged for Trial English lesson today but cancelled because of the school don allow to put Sabrina in P1 class, want Sabrina to join k2 class .In the End I drop the trial. No lesson, Where should I bring her ? long time no beach and sand fun. Is time to have one now. ECP is come into my mind. We took cicle line to bedok then eat breakfast at food center Bedok interchange then took bus service 196 She has a lot of sand fun by herself..alone can be so fun too. She also like to dip herself into the sea.. running , chasing wave up and down. She's totally not aware of dangerous, the waves are very strong I'm afraid her going to deep in.(she was telling me, she could swim back , ask me don worry) we reach here about 11.00am.. spending 4/5 hours playing only stop 15min for snacks. Too much of Vit D and get too much sea winds.. Sabrina caught a cold. Tomorrow, we still need to wake up early for Istana Open House.

Piano update

Image
I had terminated Teacher R for Sabrina piano learning. I don like the way she wanted change timing, first " no discussion with parents", second " when i telling her 4pm not suitable for Sabrina". She could tell me is "no more slot". kind of disappointed feeling. I don care , how many business she got because my blog and my recommendation., but before a teacher want to change timing must at least "discuss" not just "inform" I really appreciate , she has give Sabrina extra time during lesson.If the teacher business grow bigger, have no more extra time to spare." I'm ok" because this is the goodwill giving between teacher and students" Teacher R knowing well, Sabrina need more time to continue her piano lesson ! before she arrange her tight schedule for 30min for each students (other student come straight every 30mins). She could check with me( she has mention it before need to change it to 45min)she has never mention ag

Maths Division update

Image
Sabrina has practice division homework at home almost 6 months , I let her go slow pace, each time 12 questions. each page have 36 question.. 1 page split it to 3 times practice. Today, I am teaching her the new way of division, I explain and stay with her for the first 2 questions. As she practice timetable daily, Timetable is not her main problem anymore. she was very fast understand the concepts. She only spend about 30min for a page. The only worry is "careless mistake" and she did not do self check. I must keep remind her about this point. Key point for division ... knowing well and familiar for timetables.
