h moved up from toddler class to nursery class this week! we have been prepping her for the change in classroom and teachers and so far she's taken it in her stride.
glad that it's been a generally smooth year at childcare and that she's had good committed teachers that genuinely care for the kids. at this age, it's the care and love from the teachers that matter most.
when we met the teachers at the year-end parent-teacher session earlier this month (we are pros now!), we were told what we more or less knew about h already. she loves all kinds of physical activities, participates actively in the music and story sessions, is focused during art/craft sessions and is generally a fun kid to have around in class. she still needs to work on sharing stuff but i think it has gotten much better from 6 months ago. the teachers say she's a smart kid and picks up new things very quickly. she also has a kiasu streak in her (uh huh, check out how she hurries to wear her shoes before the hubby every morning so that she wins).
i think her english teacher is somewhat of a h fan judging by the way she talks about h and how the chinese teacher tells her not to always pick h first for every demo session and said 有些爱, 爱在心里就好! :D oh well, i am all for equal treatment in the classroom ... no point ingraining a top dog mentality now only to have her lose her daring to try new things later on.
it's a pity her chinese teacher and the teacher aide (big 老师) won't be following this bunch up to nursery class ... they are the no nonsense auntie types that children tend to listen to. nonetheless there will be some continuity with teacher s and all her classmates that are familiar friends by now. always enjoy dropping h off because we get to say hi to the other kids too who are also very friendly once they are familiar with you.
