This is our little treasure bucket filled with many little items from dollar store, like cute wooden clips, ribbons, cute erasers, pens, necklaces, cute hair bands, metal stickers..…etc. Yes, many girly stuff, since we have girls only so far =P There are also coupons of $.25 value. If one collects 4 of them, can get $1 to choose whatever she likes in the dollar store!
Whenever any one of our children can memorize 5 passages of Scriptures that I assigned or can dictate about 15 Chinese words, then she can get a chance to pick anything she likes in this bucket! We believe that it’s very important for anyone to memorize as many Scriptures as one can, since you never know when the Bible will be banned from any country! Also, as a Chinese, we do expect our children to read and write Chinese like us even that they were born in Canada. It’s so hard to motivate them to put effort to do these things as they do not understand the importance of such at this age. However, this little treasure bucket works well so far =) For Tiffany, she can already memorize passages like Psalm 1, 8, 23, 100, 121…..etc! And when she can memorize the passage in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, it counts triple =)
Dear Kay,
It’s so encouraging to see the little one who can memorized many bible verses…Psalm 1,8,23,100,121..and you even put etc..means many more. I will pick it up and thanks for the encouragement!!
