[quote=\"HappyAvon\"]Hi, my girl is attending MPM in Guillemard Village. The teacher is always kind enuff to SMS me once she had completed her work...For my girl, she started MPM in February this year.
can the kid proceed to do more work after finishing that day's scheduled work? :scratchhead: -
What r e materials like for jelic and mpm?can bring hm since we pay for them right? Can someone comment or advise?

Well the centre my DD went to is very flexible. That’s what I like. Go holiday also can make up. As long as you finish 8 books in one month can lieow. Also can cramp 3 months work in two months.

Mine is also very flexible. If sick and the person-in-charge knows that it's very troublesome for me to bring 3kids for make-up lessons, so she will let me DD1 finish 3 books for 2 wks. -

Yes mine also very flexible. My child completes 4 books within a week, as he attends 2 times per week. The child will complete half of the book and the rest of the pages to be done at home. It really depends on the teacher and also the child's ability and interest.
IMO, cramping too many books will tend to kill the joy of learning. Minimum 2 books per week is good enough. Stop only when the child likes it, so that they will yean to do better the next time or looking forward to the next lesson. Just like flashcard effects. -

For Jelic, the materials cannot be brought home. But there will be completed worksheets for parents to understand what the kids are doing during class.
In Jelic, my DS work with materials to help him with spatial awareness, sequence, values, reasoning, language, etc. The materials he work with are 3D, the worksheets are more for the parents' benefits.
For MPM, my DD1 will bring back workbooks to complete the 2nd half of it, this is to check how much DD1 understood and also serve as revision. The homework will be returned to the centre for marking purpose. We do not keep the workbooks, these are copyright materials.
I like the materials, so I let my DD1 attend MPM and DS attend Jelic. -

In the centre, the child will complete only part 1 of the workbooks (qty 2). It might seem cost efficient to keep going if the child is able to complete more.
But I feel, there's a need for a child to have time to fully absorb the materials taught. Plus, the child also need to complete part 2 of the workbooks at home. -
But must finish the 2 books before they give you another 2 books right?

Yup, during normal wk with no make-up.
