Tried to "force" ourselves to do that by instituting certain days where we speak the language. Unfortunately, it's tough to keep up with it as we always lapse into our more comfortable tongue :)<br /><br />We only started reading Chinese books on a regular basis last Dec. I was lamenting on the lack of good Chinese books in the library but realized there can be plenty of good finds if I search hard enough. And the reading does help in keeping him interested in the language so we'll continue to do more of that.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427968767103498819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072099236937422307.post-75427407920615433072012-01-13T00:42:35.112+08:002012-01-13T00:42:35.112+08:00Same here, my boy would probably be homeschooled t...Same here, my boy would probably be homeschooled till 6 years old, so I got to think through his learning activities.<br /><br />I'm taking Karen Tyler's Montessori Teacher Training online program and it's jam-packed with learning activities. Currently, we're on Practical Life, mostly fine motor skills, taking care of self, imitating what adults do (he's really into this recently anyway, like using locks, sweeping, etc.) I'm excited to introduce phonics, Geography, Botany, Zoology, etc.<br /><br />Also more challenging Shichida activities since he's in 3-year old class now. Memory games, speed reading, etc.<br /><br />Adding in a music class this week cos he has been really in singing and even simple composing (singing & humming his own songs).<br /><br />And lots of excursions too. :)MieVee @ MummysReviews.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072066999164946133noreply@blogger.com
