ABC Drill Starts TODAY!
Clarissa, Education, Parenting March 4th, 2008Today, I sent my girls right to the door step because I was early.
Clarissa teacher told me that it has been 2 months already but Clarissa still does not know her ABC. She compares her with Belle who knew her ABC at 20 months old! She said that Clarissa is like a baby, always sucks her finger while holding her bantal busuk during class. When the teacher kept the bantal busuk, she will cry.
I told the teacher that she is December baby. She replied, “No wonder lar.”
But then come to think of it, that’s not a good excuse. I am to blame because I did not teach her ABC or 123 or read books to her. She is always left to play because I was busy with Barnabas. When she is 18 months, I got Barnabas you see. With 3 small ones to mind, where to find time to teach. Mo berak pun bring all the children into the toilet with me!
Today, I will try to tie her to the chair and teach her ABC.
Giving myself and herself one month for this.
*****

So, I went to buy the Alphabet Chart right after school and some playdoh too.

But this is what happened to the chart while I was busy guiding Belle in her writing.
Play lar you two as long as you don’t disturb us!

You can get the LeapFrog DVD, very good for children to learn ABC and spelling. She is only 3+, don’t be too tough on her.
