Homeschooling: Journey of Discovery

Since Boy graduated from kindergarten a year early, he was too young to enter Standard 1 in a government Chinese school.

So we decided to take a year off formal schooling — a gap year of sorts — and see where that road leads. Yes, Mummy, who has sworn never, ever to homeschool her kiddos coz she can be such as a Mother Guppy, was going to what seemed impossible. Lord, help me!

So we started on Jan 2, when the other 2 kiddos started their school year. We don't follow any set syllabus, but here are some of the books that we do use daily:
Kumon workbooks for some drilling in math


Young Scientists magazines (hand-me-downs from the Girl) to feed the interest in science

Flashkids series for the Gifted Student (coz I liked the contents)
 
Contents of Flashkids Math

Contents of Flashkids Vocabulary

Some BM workbooks to strengthen the foundations
