Last Saturday (15/11/08), Mummy and Papa attended the PTA session to find out how you 2 fare in sch the past half year.
Dear YY
Generally both your teachers, Ms Adeline and Zhuang Laoshi, gave very good feedbacks on your academic achievements.
Good comments from Ms Adeline
- Able to read very well using your phonics skills
- Able to spell 3 or even longer letter words very well. According to her, you even managed to get the word "astronaut" right!
- Grasp math concept very well. Well, Mummy was surprised to hear you reciting multiples of 3 at home once, although Ms Adeline mentioned to me that she had not really start teaching that yet.
- Very interested in new vocabulary
Positive comments from Zhuang Laoshi
- Strong in identifying words
- you exhibit very good memory
- Able to read chinese words well
Negative Remarks from both teachers
- Lose focus during classes sometimes and became too engrossed playing with your frens. Zhuang Laoshi even remarked that it was a lucky thing you can absorb things very fast, hence even though you don't pay attention sometimes, your grades are still above average compared to your peers.
- Another thing that made us very anxious is your anger management. According to your teachers, you have started to assume the role of an adult and lash out or pinch your friends when they don't listen to you. Papa and Mummy were real upset to hear this. Zhuang Laoshi taught you to put your hands by your sides everytime you are angry, and Ms Adeline told you to voice out your emotions instead of venting your anger through actions.
Mummy really hope you would ride over this phase very soon.
Dear NN
Time really flies. We are already attending your 2nd PTA in CM. You have become well adjusted in sch. There were some hiccups along the way after we came back from our trip as you were sick, followed by the change from PreN1 to PreN2 class. You cried alot in the mornings for a few weeks when Mummy drove you to sch. Mummy was really happy when all your cryings suddenly stopped last Thursday and have not returned since. Yippee! My cheerful Niko is back.
We met both your PreN2 teachers, Ms Juliana and Zhuo Laoshi, together.
Good comments
- Very very independent gal, able to do your tasks without much help
- Very verbal too. Able to express yourself very well
- No misses during the afternoon naps when you go diaperless. (Mummy is real proud of you!)
Not so good comments
- Throw tantrums in classes sometimes, but able to calm down after teachers talk to you.
At first, when Mummy heard abt your being transferred to the elder Pre N 2 class, Mummy was quite concerned that you might not be able to get used to it. However Ms Juliana assured Mummy that the rest of your PreN 2 classmates really dote on you and want to help you with everything. You, being the independent little gal that we love so much, of course reject and insist on doing things by yourself. But you still get along very well with them. The teachers are also thoughtful to let you do simpler worksheets fit for your age.
Mummy would have like to speak to Ms Bavani and Lee Laoshi as well. Afterall, they had been your teachers for a longer time and Mummy might have unearthed more from them. However, we were almost the last family there and both the PreN 1 teachers had left by the time we finished.
Anyway, what is important is for both you, YY and NN, to enjoy your preschool times and have wonderful memories in Character Montessori.
Hugs and Kisses
Mummy
