Busy day Part 1

Long account of a long day...

Mr Liow will be going away tonight and be back only next Sunday. We have shifted some stuff (lots of stuff, from clothes to toys to milk to pillows) to my parents' place coz we'll be staying there during the weekdays. I can't drive well enough, not with a baby who's not on good terms with his car seat. It's going to be easier for AN to go to school from here.

Early this morning, Mr Liow attended Shekinah's PTM (PARENT-TEACHER MEETING). Had reviews over how AN fared in school for second half of the year.

According to all 3 teachers, AN does her work fast. Too fast. She had completed page 17 when teacher only wanted them to complete up to page 4. She was asked to erase them off and keep to teachers' speed (they want to be sure she hasn't been guessing answers). Teachers were amazed that she got the answers right though, even before the class were taught those. It was in the case of maths (addition) and english. I did teach her at home, probably extra stuff that happened to be on her future curriculum, but those were what I believed most kids younger than her have already learnt, based on what I hear from mums in the forum. Is her school slow?

Anyway, glad to know she has no problems with schoolwork. She also has no problems relating to adults and children in school. Teachers note that she loves to take care of the n1 and playgroup kids especially. We can tell from how she goes around playing with the little ones whenever she gets to go to playground, sometimes even holding the really young ones and leading them. We hv to observe to see if some of their parents mind that.

Miss Sue suggests we leave AN there full day when she gets to K2. Teachers will go intensive to prepare them for Primary One and programs get spread over the 9 hours or so, so that the little ones do not get overloaded in 4 hours for students on half day.

I thought if that's necessary, I'll get a full time job since she will not be home most of each day. ER will be in N1 by then. Will stay home again once she gets into P1. That's just a rough thought. See how it goes.
