my little genius

there has been so much progress since my last entry about my little girl finally getting settled in her kindy... her kindy experience was not intented to be an academic one but more of a playschool, therefore, i don't make her do any workbooks or practice her reading at home. i monitor her progress through the notes her teachers make at the bottom of her books. her reading book is the islamic version of peter and jane i.e. adam and dina book 1 which she is almost finishing. as for her iqra, she has reached the alphabet ﺡ i noticed the other day that she is able to complete a clock puzzle with all the numbers correctly. the one thing that really impresses me is that she can perform her prayers and recite all the recitation at least 80% perfection. once in a while, i will tell her to teach me iqra or reading, so i know for a fact that she is learning... all the positive learning comes with negative learning as well... she picks up some not so nice to hear words and uses it at home. i would give her a stare and tell her that she should not speak the words her mummy or daddy don't speak. that means, mummy and daddy really have to watch what they say and do. the latest progress is.... i am growing her hair so that she would be more girly. i give her a hairband and tell her to take care of it. so far, it hasn't got lost. i guess, these are little little ways that you can teach your children to be responsible and independ. this is my little gal all ready to go to school.... her brother ever ready to go to school....
