My homeschooling with J during the Coronavirus outbreak 2020

The schools in Hong Kong are closed because of the Coronavirus outbreak. It was originally closed for slightly over a month. I did not planned much at the beginning, just doing the usual revision with J. As the outbreak got worse, the government decided to suspend the schools for longer. I then decided to have a more well planned homeschooling schedule.

I would like to share with you some of the websites and iPad apps that I used for teaching J (constantly updating it when I find some great ones).

English:

Phonics

• Sarah’s Teaching Snippets – Syllable Division Rules

(As mentioned in my previous post , I learned a great deal on syllable division by reading Sarah’s blog. I also purchased her activity packs from her TpT )

Writing

• Woo! Jr. Kids Activities – Weather Mad Libs for Kids

(J did something similar before in a magazine and he loved it. I found this wonderful website called Woo! Jr. Kids Activities and it has a collection of Mad Libs on different topics)

• Woo! Jr. Kids Activities – Logic Puzzles For Kids

(Great for teaching deductive reasoning skills)

============================================================

Maths:

• Practical Pages – Mental Maths Practice ~ fun worksheets!

(Nadene has made some wonderful Maths worksheets which are great for my 6 years old J)

• All Kids Network – Kids Sudoku Puzzles

(Just the right level for J to tackle)

============================================================

Chinese:

• 常用字頻序表常用字頻序表

(This is like the Sight Words in English but this one is Chinese )

============================================================

Art:

• Pink Stripey Socks – Calder-Inspired Sculptures

(I think J would love this)

• Craft Whack – Cool Colored Paper Collage Sculptures

(This would be fun for J to explore making the paper into different shapes and forms and create some 3D artwork.)

============================================================

P.E.:

Yoga

• Track Yoga

(I like this one because the videos and instructions are clear and easy to follow and understand. Great for beginning like me and J.)

Cardio – Keep Trainer – Workout Trainer & Fitness Coach

(I like this App for the same reason as above, nice and clear videos and instructions.)
