Happy New Year!

I've started going back to the good old paper journal this year. It still nice to see some papers piled up filled with notes from time to time. ;0

I had another once-in-a-blue-moon homeschool with my kid yesterday. We had a holiday break of sort last December amidst the my school and holidays humdrum.

Our previous lesson was about weather, since it was a bit rainy around the last week of November to early December last year. We reviewed the weather calendar we made and remembered how rainy those days were. Compared to the current weather nowadays, I think it's a little better now even with strong winds blowing almost continually everyday. This windy season sure is a lot colder and harder than previous years that I've lived in this island. Sure, before was windy and cool. But this year's wind is almost chilly. It won't be a surprise to find people wearing thick, almost-springtime-kind of jackets during daytime.

Going back to my random lesson yesterday, I stumbled on a couple of nice websites for education which inspired me to get a class in order. ;) According to my theme list, were supposed to do senses next. We had a go over it and my son was surely more than happy to pretend study. The 5 Senses. Our sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. Even though it was almost impromptu, we managed to gather and try all our senses. The listening to the howling wind, the sound of the running washing machine, taste of salt, sugar, peanut butter, the smell of bread, patis and stinky chair, moving around and almost hitting himself at the door..the list can go on some more. I really felt a bit guilty of depriving my son on his daily "homeschool" dose. He was so interested and when I asked if he was scared when he was blindfolded, he answered no. He's just enjoying the experience.

Sigh. Internal issues that comes up to my face every now and then. Sigh.
