we attended our first parent-teacher session at baby's school today. the teachers really took time to share with us about how baby behaves in school and it was good getting insight into how she is like after we drop her off.
that she's a smart cookie and very active was definitely not lost on the teachers. her chinese teacher said it was difficult believing that baby is not yet 2 given her strong understanding of content and instructions. and I think she's one of her english teacher's fave student (not surprising given the genuinely happy smile she gives baby every morning at drop-off). apparently, the teachers use her to demo any new activities because she grasps instructions and things very quickly (after only one time, says the teachers). it then makes it easier for the other kids to follow suit.
oh, and we realised today that she is a rather popular kid among her classmates. the teacher indicated as such in the report book, and it kind of reinforced the warm welcome she gets every morning at drop off ... all the kids will crowd up to the classroom door and keep calling her name while she usually is rather chill about the attention. one of her classmate's mum also mentioned that her daughter would also keep mentioning baby's name at home. heh.
i still wonder why she is so popular though. perhaps she thinks up "creative" stuff that the other kids find fun to copy ... i don't envy the teachers though ... as it probably disrupts the peace/quiet.
was expecting the teachers to tell us that she doesn't listen to them, but they said she was an obedient kid overall (她会听话) and apparently the school bus auntie told them the same thing.
also, she apparently eats on her own for lunch in school (sigh, we pamper her too much at home because we don't want to clean up the mess) and she is usually to first one to rouse from their mid-day nap. the teachers say that she will usually chill and talk/sing quietly on her own before the others wake up.
i am still getting over the fact that baby had a REPORT BOOK! so it's not really fun and games only ... but they are only just turning 2!! from the comments in the report book it would seem baby is really enjoying school and it's wide range of activities + the teachers enjoy having her around. :)
excerpts:
"a bright and active girl. she has a cheery demeanour that made her a friend to many in our classroom. however she needs constant reminders to be gentle when interacting with her friends. a pleasure to have in class!"
"活泼丶好动丶小脑袋很灵活。喜爱唱歌和音乐律动，户外游戏活动，也能积极投入扮演角色. 若能在上课时专注安静些就更好."
