Since Phoebe is already in K1, she has been getting some homework from her school.
Monday - Mathematics
Wednesday - Chinese
Friday - English
It is usually one or two pages. I thought the amount of homework is appropriate and the challenge level is manageable. The children has been taught what to do. It keeps her a little busy in grandma's place and at home.
Whenever Phoebe is doing her school work at home, I always make sure that she sits properly at her desk, with both legs under the table. I always tell her that she needs to do her homework with the 3 H-es. She must do her homework with her Head because she needs to think about what she's doing. She needs to do her homework with her Hands, one hand to be placed on the book and the other hand will hold the pencil. Lastly, she must do her work with all her Heart. It is then, she will be able to do it well.
I've seen many children doing their work with their heads and hands, but not with their heart. They do it any way they like and they do not put in effort. I hope Phoebe will not become like one of them. Hence, when comes to written work, I am very strict with her. If she writes in an untidy manner, I will erase and make sure she redo again. And I always remind her to do her work with her Head, her Hands and her Heart.
Last night when she did her Mathematics homework, she told me about the 3 H-es. I was pleased to hear her reiterating it. I hope this reminder will be stuck in her head and etched in her heart forever :) She's my baobei precious girl and I love her sooo MUCH! :)
