Schooled

Posted in Kids at 11:32 am by hansr

Lana has been working away with Malachi on homeschool, and he tracks progress very closely (e.g. he knows he is 77% complete with Language Arts, but only 34% complete with Math for the year). Because of all of the activity surrounding school for Malachi, Maliah wanted in on the action. So Lana starting working with her, as a supplement to Chinese preschool, going over things like reading the alphabet, numbers, etc…

One of the things Lana went over with her recently were rhyming words - like “sky / why.” However, Maliah didn’t really get it, and after a few examples, they called it a day. A while later, Maliah came running back into the room where Lana was, and said “Mom, mom, I get it! Train - brain - they both start with the same number!”.
