Homeschool Shanghai

I have a link to this person’s blog on my list of links on the sidebar. May I say to readers (who are believers in the Lord) that the writer is an atheist. However, he has his analysis close or right on the nail when it comes to financial and global stuffs, of course, exclude [...]

This past week has been a stressful week for me. I wrote to a few close friends in the Homeschool Group to ask for prayers and support. It seems like any other time of the year, where recital/ play, piano exam, summer school planning and vacation bible school come together. But this year seems a [...]

The children of SALT and SCS Homeschoolers invite you to join us on International Children’s Day, 1st June 2008, at Metro Town Mall next to Zhongshan Park, Shanghai, at 11 am to 12.30 pm for their musical – “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat”, which they have been working hard for the past months.

Everything is back to normal today. Paul has been working hard for his coming piano exam. He has one problem though, his fingers are not long enough to stretch across an octave of the minor key. He manages well enough for major keys. Hopefully the examiners would be lenient this round. He manages to speed [...]

What Paul most feared happened this morning. The caterpillar had climbed out of the bowl and was squashed to death at the attempt to go out of the room. We checked evreyone’s slippers but found nothing. The poor fellow was near the door as a pile of black liquid and squashed flesh. It must have [...]

The kids were so delighted when my ayi found a little caterpillar in a pod when she was taking the peas out. My ayi suggested that it will make a wonderful Science experiment and wanted to put the caterpillar into a plastic bag. I asked for a plastic bowl instead, so the kids can observe [...]

RLA called me this morning to check if I was going with her to the donation centre. I declined as I was dead beat after yesterday’s SALT and I had planned the day’s work for the boys by the time she called. I sent the donation from our family through internet banking to China’s Red [...]

Paul’s into his laziness again when it comes to the exam and homework. He hates scale practice. He hates the fact that he has to keep practising on the same piece of music again and again. We have been into this struggle for sometime now. I had to remind him that he was the one [...]

I didn’t know that there was an earthquake until the news report came out today while I was watching TV. I found out from some friends in BSF that some of them were evacuated from their apartments, especially those staying in higher floors. Many of them felt the ground shook. Being on the ground floor, [...]
