I am waiting for Khadijah to finish her class. Just enroll her in mental arithmetic class. It is simply amazing how you can count to 99 by just using your 10 fingers! I need to accompany her for the first session because she is a bit teary when I try to leave her there. Hence I got to watch the teacher teaching her the basic of mental arithmetic based on sempoa and our own fingers. She learns very fast. I am really amaze by the capacity of her little brain. She is not the studious type. She plays and plays, watches TV and her barbie movies, plays computers all day long. I only need to spend as little as half an hour or less per day teaching her english and mathematics. She can read both english and malay very well(she is on book 7a of the Ladybird Peter and Jane series). It is just that teaching her is an effortless and enjoyable job. I think this mental arithmetic class is different and very worthwhile, as the method is very different from the conventional method and which cannot be gained from the school class. I really hope she will find this class interesting and enjoyable.
