Singapore Math is the Greatest!

Praise the Lord!

I just wanted to send a note of praise, recognition, and appreciation for the Singapore Math curriculum! I am so very impressed with this company. I am currently using the Singapore Math Early Bird books. I just can't say enough about how wonderful these books are! And the price you can't beat at $21! SingaporeMath.com Inc.

What I love about this curriculum is that it encourages the "Aha!" moment in the development of your child's schooling of thought. For those who are not familiar, the "Aha" moment comes when a child struggles for some time with a problem/concept and at some point at the end of the struggle they say " I get it MOM!" . These three words can be like music to a homeschoolers ears! I believe that there is a place for drills and the Lord knows that there is a place for repetition, which is by nature the mother of skill. However, there is also a place for understanding and depth.

As a homeschooler, you have a unique opportunity to find the balance in repetition and depth of understanding for your individual student. This is, in my humble opinion, where your students will learn about who they are and what they want to be when they grow up.

Love homeschooling!

Praise the Lord! I am so excited that the snow is slowly melting away. Now it's time for those winter pounds to melt away with it ! LOL ! At church we have really been talking about putting together a team so that we can encourage each other as we work towards our weightloss goals. So join the team! Whether you have a gym membership, the Wii Fit, or some other form of exercise regimen join us as we are committed to TEN together! "How do I commit to Ten?" Great question! Well, just post in the comment section below this article that you will join and put your goal weight loss in pounds. For example, 2LT Mom 7 lbs . Then every Sunday night post your weight loss progress under this post. Our goal is to lose 10 lbs each week for 8 weeks as a team ! For those who become team members ( and even those closet team members that follow us on the Down Low ) , we will have weekly challenges to keep you encouraged and motivated! God Bless! 2LT mom

Her Hair, His Glory: Ebay Flowers and Headbands

Image
Praise the Lord ! Just wanted to show everyone a new hairstyle. My mother-in-law sent me some flowers and headbands from E-bay and I have been experimenting with them and different hairstyles. Tell me what you think! I love how the girl's hair turned out! This was a "curler" week. That means that I not only did a two-strand twist style, but I also put rollers on the ends of the hair to give them added body and curl. My product of choice for these styles is Twist and Loc gel on very wet, freshly shampooed hair. After styling, the ends were curled with rollers and then the style was set using a hood hair dryer. My girls were so excited and so was I! To maintain this style, simply tie a silk scarf over the hair at night and remove in the morning :) Easy! Total styling time ranged from 45 mins ~ 90 mins including washing, (deep) conditioning, detangling, and styling. Then dryer time was approximately 20 minutes. Just FYI for those who were wondering. I surveyed my neighbor,

Hey there! So apparently I took a two year hiatus from blogging. Which I find interesting because, I haven't taken a "hiatus" from life! In these short two years, I have managed to have three more children...a set of twins and a singleton, help my husband finish his PhD (yes, by the way, I am now officially married to a Dr. and we now have more band-Aids in our house than I think any individual will EVER use! LOL ), become a free lance copywriter for a Malaysian company, perform the national anthem in our community parade of nation twice (oh , and I was officially asked to do it again this year! So excited!), and in between all that I managed to take care of my family. Anyway, just wanted let you know that I am BACK! And there is so much to catch up on ! So Follow Me... the day in the life of 2LT Mom :) Ciao!  2LT Mom This is a picture from a recent wedding we attended ... that's all six of my kiddos and our little friend, Red :)
