Learning Journey for Shayne

Finally I'm starting to blog permanently just for my dear boy.

This is to mark his learning journey for the phonics lessons with his mummy.

During the lesson, I do not allow him to call me mummy. He has to call me Teacher Joanne.
Wonder if this will helps him learn better. Anyhow just give my best shot and not waste the money spent on the lessons I learnt.

Some notes on the phonics class before I focus on my lesson with Shayne.

Went for a phonics class held by a very experience ex child care teacher who selflessly share with us her experience. It was a great fun learning from her... Beside phonics, she taught us how to prompt words which makes learning spelling seems a lot easie.r too.

Back to Shayne's learning journey.
This is actually the 2nd lesson. The first lesson was a trial and I'm surprised that he can actually sit there patiently for 15min. It was with minimal craft work of coloring 2 ants.

Today we managed to do slightly more. Recapping the last lesson on the ants and starting the lesson on apples.
Did one craft work for apple today too.

Shayne has to base on his memory and recap what I taught him the other day. And it so happened that the plane flew past loudly and he happily shouted: "Teacher Joanne, A for Aeroplane!!!!"

Here are some pictures.

A for angry, aeroplane, ants, arms, apples, etc
