SmartLife Skills

The day I made the decision to Homeschool my sons, was the day I made up my mind that, Paper Qualifications are not all that important. Dont get me wrong, education is important, YES but....in the case of my sons, Preparing them for Basic Living Skills, Building their confidence and all is the utmost importance - for now.

Knowledge can be learnt everyday! When we go Grocery shopping, its a learning experience. I  take them to Museums, Science Centres, Parks.... these are all Learning experiences too.

My sons have been bullied in school all through their Primary years and now that they are 14 years old.... I have to rebuild their lives, what have been lost. Nothing is ever too late right?

Anyhow, we enrolled the twins in a SmartSkill Programme over the weekend. They enjoyed themselves and I was beginning to see a light in their being. I saw Confidence slowly growing from deep within. I was truly excited. Its been dormant for far too many years and I truly want to thank God for leading us through the dark tunnels which we had to face those years.

I am enjoying every bit of the day spending time with my kids and especially the boys.

Some dayz....

Some dayz.... are just plain hard to go by. But since I am not following any particular set of programmes, I've set their schedules to doing online studying.

I know, some may protest and disagree to it but I find thats the easiest way to capture them to do SOMETHING! Lol. My boys especially, are not one to love sitting on hours at end with a book. But their strength in on the computer.

Benjamin wants to learn more on Coding. So, I told him to go ahead and experiment on different sites. :)

Meanwhile, they are working on a FREE Online site to do their daily knowledge thingy. Its pretty good for starters though. Do check our Discover K12 and Khan Academy.

Khan Academy is good for Maths and Science and they also have lessons on Programming and all.

There are also other sites which I have found but have not tried them. Will go along and discover later <3 If you are interested, I found this site which listed a few other FREE HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUMS. Here and here.




Hope your day is as fun as sunshine! *hugs*

Turtle Sanctuary, Cherating

We took a short holiday to Cherating for a quick getaway with the kids. It was a blast! The kids had so much fun just lazing in the sand, build sand castles...or rather sand runes...Lol. Took multiple dips in the pool. :)

We also took time to drive around this small, lovely tranquil town. Very clean. Yummy food and oh my! cheap stuffs too! Don't miss the $2 shop at Cukai, Terengganu. Not a miss as everything there is sooo cheap! You'll go googly eyes just seeing the stuffs.

We visited the Turtle Sanctuary but sadly, we could not enter the Turtle  Hatchling area :( To know more info please read here.

Have a blessed day!

 

KL City Gallery

I gave up trying to catch up on a daily basis. Lol. Life sure have a way of messing around. :)

Today, I took the kids to KL City Gallery. Its a pretty awesome place. The boys learnt about the History of Kuala Lumpur and even I learnt something there too! The Spectacular City Model Show was the highlight.

Heres are a few glimpses of what the place is like:
