8 Sep 2009 - Mastering jigsaw puzzle

According to the teachers from Jerlene's childcare centre, Jerlene has been doing well in terms of arts, creativity and imaginative activities. Basically it's what the right brain do. In general, most school tends to favor left brain modes of thinking, which focus on logical thinking, analysis and accuracy. However, I felt that right brained subjects such as creativity, aesthetics and feeling are equally important.

That's why, other than teaching Jerlene A,B,C and 1,2,3, we have bought quite a number of building blocks and puzzles for Jerlene. The first puzzle that we bought was a 4x4 Dora puzzle. She spent a few weeks before she managed to complete it all by herself. That was about 2 months ago. Tracy then bought another two (6x5 and 8x5) puzzles which Jerlene has just mastered one below (6x5).
Now she was trying the 8x5 one (below), which is actually quite tough, even for us. Anyway, I'm quite sure she can do it in no time. :-)
