Disciplined Math!

I worked a little later this evening, thus ended up at home around 7.30pm, harried and anticipating a mad rush after dinner to learn with the girls. 

The moment I opened the door, both Bees rushed to me excitedly, both clambering over each other to show me a page from Little Bee's K1 Math activity book. Big Bee chattered with much zeal, "You know, Mummy, Little Bee finished a whole page of addition by herself!" I was incredulous - because Little Bee was usually not very disciplined unless she has me around to encourage her on. I looked at Little Bee and she was bursting with pride, uttering, "Yes, I did it myself! No one to help! I can do Math!"

A look at the activity book in my hand revealed a whole page of neatly completed work, comprising 2 rows of addition sums. 

I had been working with her on a Math addition activity when we were on the "Farm" homelearning theme last month, using hens and eggs, and briefly taught her the concept of addition, but it was really a game instead of an exercise, so I am happy she retained that knowledge and applied it!
