I've a bedtime routine with Sharlene every night. Before she drinks her milk, I will check her school bag to see what she had learn in the morning, look at her completed homework and read to her. As I was checking through her bag I found a colouring book which she put into another smaller compartment. I opened the book and found a page with a 'Homework' chop on it. I was shocked to see a clean flower picture...meaning she didn't do her homework. Her nanny didn't notice the book when she checked it during the day. It was almost 9.00p.m. and I thought she must be too tired to do it.
When I told her she has another page of colouring to do, I was surprised she took her colour pencils right away and finished off the colouring in less than 10 mins.
Sharlene did her colouring on a stool in my bedroom with Aunty YK holding the book for her. Look, she's so occupied with her colouring here.
Almost done here. Quite a nice piece, right. If only she can show this kind of enthusiasm everyday. I'll be so happy. On another note, maybe I shouldn't expect too much from a 4 yr old kid.

My kids' preschool gives homework too, almost everyday. My elder girl is quite disciplined and would finish her homework w/o being told whilst my 2nd girl is really lazy and playful :(
For an almost 4-yr-old to have daily homework is a bit much... but some people see it as training for primary 1. I guess as long as the kiddo seems enthusiastic to do it, then it's ok kua... just scared they will be so fed up, go to school also dun want...
I was thinking to send my son to kindy next year too, but i really dun like the idea of him having homework everyday loh, haihs... still thinking if i should send him yet....
hmm 4YO got homework everyday, it quite burden. I think it's better to have few homework a week not a day.
