1st Half School Assessment

It has been 8+ months that Ern started school. She didn't cry on Day 1 but the drama of 'cry + no school' happened 3 months after that, just 1 month before I delivered Sean. It was due to sibling jealousy and attention seeking.

The school organized a Teacher-Parenting session 2 weeks ago, to enable the parents to know how their children behave and learning development. I went alone to meet her teacher while leaving both children to Daddy. It was early slot they scheduled for me - 8.50am!

The moment I looked at her report card, I was happy with her progress because it was really what I expected. She didn't score any A but mostly B and C (The grading: A = Good Performance ; B = Average and C = Need More Improvement). I don't expect her to be able to master everything well. After all, my intention of sending her to school is to learn and have fun, especially at this age.

The comments that I get from her teachers:

- She showed the most interest in maths & coloring. She won't run around during this 2 lessons.

- She "dreamed" (her teacher used the term short concentration span) in class, especially on the lessons she has less interest.

- She needs improvement in her reading skill in all 3 languages - Mandarin, English & BM

- She doesn't like to write (i know this very well).

- She can't write the number and alphabet but can trace them very well.

- She is able to recognized numbers (1-10) and alphabet (upper and lower case)

- She hardly sing and dance but just sit down and watch their friends (guess she enjoyed to be audience than being a performer. LOL)

- She is playful and talkative in class.

- Her sensorial skill need improvement. She can't stag the ring or arrange things in the right manner (from big to small or tall to short).

I know right after she starts primary school, no more fun in school but just homework and exam. So, better let her enjoy now! hahaha...
