It's the half yearly meetup with AN's teacher again. The last one in June, I was having fever and couldn't attend but the nice teachers would feedback whenever we meet at the door during pickup time.
Project (Miss Sue)
This year's project is about our earth, about protecting it and disasters etc.
AN still talks about Tucson! Miss Sue says that AN talks about Tucson very often. Guess it's because we don't see much of nature in Singapore and topics like hail storm and sand storm were stuff she experienced back there.
She's less of a chatterbox this time (AN explained that she talked to Vovo during Miss Sue's class previously coz Vovo doesn't understand English and she was helping to translate.)
AN loves lapbooking, something they are now doing. Miss Sue knew we used to do this when AN was younger and said AN is still very enthusiastic about these sessions.
Chinese (Miss Hao)
AN is very easily distracted during chinese writing time. She fiddles with her pencils and the what-nots in her pencil case. Needs lots of prompting and reminder to focus.
Miss Hao is all praises for AN's 'smartness', saying that with her street-smartness, she should be one of the best but she isn't. I get a feeling Miss Hao is trying not to tell me AN is one of the slowest learner in her class!
Uh-oh.
English/Math Montessori (Miss Ivy)
Totally opposite feedback from Chinese teacher.
AN has improved tremendously for this half year. She's more focused and learns well. Very interested too.
I asked about her being easily distracted and Miss Ivy said the kids are all the same. She only allows them a pencil and an eraser each during her lessons so they have nothing to fiddle with. She has no problems with AN (or any of the others for that matter) this way.
AN is reading the blue series now (forgot to ask what stage that is but I'll google when I have time) and tries new and challenging words by covering them part by part.
We do that at home but she will always complain that a particular word is too long.
Miss Ivy says AN bullies me. Hehe. Oh well. As long as she learns properly in school..
Next year's expectations will be different. Higher. I pray AN can keep up!
