No More!!!!!!

I tried to teach Agata numbers. I have a number chart on the wall.

So today, when she asked for TV (she made TV sign, she can not say TV yet), I told her she need to look at numbers and answer my questions, if she can answer two out of 5 questions then she can watch. And she said "oce".

I carried her to the chart, and read for her no. 1 to 5. After that I asked her to point to the number that I said. She kept getting it wrong. So I said,"sorry...no TV, until next time when you can get it right." She said,"oce."

Then she played with her puzzles, and when she done she came to me and asked for TV again. And we did the numbers, and she could not got it right..so no TV......and so on for 2 more times.

Last she came to me, pulled me to the couch, and she sat on the couch, and show me TV sign. (I think she think when she sit nicely then I will let her watch.) I said,"Ok..let's go learn your number first."

Heard me..she covered her face with her both palms, shook her head and cried "No....."

Saw her like that...I only can laugh.........she is so funny.

Saya mencoba mengajar Agatha angka.dengan menggunakan tabel angka di yg di tempel di tembok.Jadi hari ini ketika dia meminta menyalakan TV( dia membuat isyarat TV karena belum bisa mengucapkannya ).Saya memintanya menjawab pertanyaan angka di tembok, jika dia bisa menjawab 2 dari 5 pertanyaan, maka dia boleh nonton TV. dia menjawab" Oce".
Saya menggendongnya ke tembok dan mengajarinya angka 1 sampai dengan 5. Kemudian saya kembali menunjuk keangka itu dan menyuruhnya menjawab sesuai dengan yg kuajarkan.
Tetapi dia salah melulu. Sory, Gak ada TV sampai kamu bisa menjawwab benar." Oce" jawabnya.
Tidak lama kemudian dia meminta TV lagi, jadi kami pun mengulangi belajar angka lagi. dan kembali dia tidak bisa menjawab soal yang ku ajukan.jadi tidak ada TV.sampai dia bisa menjawab benar.
Setelah berkali-kali mencoba dan kembali dia tidak bisa menjawabnya, dia menarikku ke bangku ruang tamu.dan kembali meminta TV lagi.
"Ok" ,kataku," mari belajar angka lagi", mendengar jawaban ku, spontan dia berteriak " Tidaaaakkkkk" sambil menutup muka nya dengan kedua tangannya.Melihat dia begitu, saya hanya bisa tertawa.. betapa lucunya dia....

Over Confidence

Patrick Nikolai is Bodhi's classmate. His mother talked to me yesterday, and said that the kids in the class said Bodhi is the smartest one, and Patrick is second. We both agreed the reason they voted that way because Bodhi already passed Mega math and Patrick passed multiplication test.

So on the way home, I talked with Bodhi about that, and he answered me, "That's not right, I am the smartest kid in the first grade and kindergarten."

From : the proud mom.

And to made me even happier, Bodhi said thank you to me to make him practiced alot so he could be the smartest kid in the 1st grade and kindergarten.

Note: every week, in Darby elementary, for each grade they have math test. For 1st grade, they have to pass addition (100 problems within 5 mnt) and subtraction (100 problems within 5 mnt). For Patrick and Bodhi that passed the two tests in the early phase, the teacher allowed them to do the next test, which is multiplication (100 problems within 5 mnt) and division (100 problems within 5 mnt). Multiplication and division is standard test for 2nd grade and up, and next test is mega math (all operation, total 400 problems within 20 mnt) for 3rd grade and up. The minimum score to pass is 99.
