Well I promised to post about how the 4th birthday went and as always I am way late to come and post here.
I know the show we arranged for the birthday was a big hit!! But I vaguely remember all the details.
Coming back to what Shreya is upto these days, well, I guess we are making her go through the grinds of Math and Reading so that she has some head start to her start of Kindergarten in Sept 2012.
She is enrolled in the phonics program at her school for a year now. Well we have decided to stop that starting May 2012 and have her take Reading in Kumon.
Yes, Kumon. The favorite Desi parents place to make their kids smarter!!! Shreya is already taking Math class there since January and is doing great.
I think the best part of Kumon, is the regular homework booklets that they provide. Those really help us, the parents, with what exactly to look forward to with respect to homework.
On the other hand, the Phonics program used to just hand out a small piece of note about what was covered and pointers to what we can do at home. But I think, that didn't help us any bit with what exact material to use to do any reviews or homework.
Kumon practice of providing booklets comes in handy, as it provides the ready-made material that we need to cover at home.
Hopefully with Reading at Kumon, will help us review her reading skills at home too!!
That's enough of curriculum!!! I hope we are not overburdening her!!
With respect to her other activities, She has really improved upon her swimming skills!!
And yes she went through a Soccer class in Feb/March, and boy she did suck big time.
As per the Coach, she lacks aggression and that should come with practice.
I think next sport for her to try is Basketball!!. Still haven't enrolled her but will do in a few days..
Until next time...
