hmmm, i just did a price comparison. Robert the Rose Horse hardback costs USD8.12 at BD w/o discount. at acmamall it's SGD12.75 after discount (18%). acmamall has some children books on discount so might be able to get some good buys :-) but the website not stable, keeps hanging when searching :-(

nuah,
thanks. my colleague is also going to JP, so i'll give her my list instead. no need to bother you since got so many things + 2 kiddies to worry abt :p

yah, i give them 5 pages minimum of homework to do everyday on weekdays. E likes to do them but C as usual lah, wants to siam... LOL. weekends rest and play nia, no homework

i started them on homework a few months back, slowly can see improvements, esp for Maths as it needs constant practice. nothing too complicated. just want to keep their brains well-oiled, har har har!

i stepped up on their homework when i saw how difficult the P1 textbooks are. some friends warned that kids are EXPECTED to be able to read when they enter P1 and they have problem sums for Maths... i really can't imagine. it's so stressful for the poor kids. and the chinese books, wah, i see liao, wanna peng san. got hanyu pinyin & the characters are difficult! if you have a chance, pop into a bookstore and see the P1 assessment books, you'll know what i mean and then perhaps start to panic like me, war har har har har

pinkie,

no fixed time to do homework, they have the whole day to choose when they wanna do

i give them the usual - maths, english, science, chinese handwriting. 5 pages per day, rotate the subjects. once in a while they just do coloring only (part of the homework routine - to practice their motor skills and creativity). then i mark the books at night and go through the mistakes with them or to reinforce certain things. now they take their homework seriously, no more doodling or defacing the pages.

weekends bo homework, they play play play all day, yippee!

then they also get to watch DVDs like Wordworld, Dora, Richard Scarry, Leapfrog.

then before bed at night, we have story-telling sessions. very insightful as you will then be able to judge their levels of understanding & competency over the weeks; and sometimes we'll veer off the story and just talk about relevant issues.

Pink,

Collected the Loire from mbb Liao. Kam sia yah...will tt $$ to uth next few days.

Bao,

When u let them do homework...did U explain t o them 1st wat to do or ur parents will do it? I always ask c1 to read the question 1st b4 she do her work n explain to her wat needs o b done and off I leave the study room ;)

I found that letting them do homework really helps....even doing penmanship...they can even learn spelling at the same time.
