After 2 weeks....

Ah.... 2 weeks past and I am very pleased with Reese and the school. :)

Out of 4 days Reese was sent to the 'thinking chair' twice! He cannot take instruction that was what the teacher told me. He cried when sent to the thinking chair and yet when I asked him whether he still wants to go school..... a very loud YES was the answer. Reese loves school. After 2 days at school, he will remind himself that he has to 'tidy up' after play even at home! :) Wow...

Every day he would report back to us what he learned at school. So far... two weeks of school, he learned a new song and sang to us (out of tune). Learnt to tidy up after playing (at home only when he is in the mood but if asked to.. he would), the names of his classmates and last Friday, he sang a Chinese New Year song to us in Mandarin and told us about China Town.... :)

He loves school so much. Teachers also said he is taking instructions and no 'Thinking Chair' during the second week.

So far I am pleased with the school. There are 12 kids with 2 teachers on Wednesday and Friday and 3 teachers on Tuesday and Thursday. Currently there is a volunteer helping with the class too. So there are 4 adults to 12 kids on certain days! All children are learning at their own pace and they are all given individual attention when it comes to doing activities and learning everyday. The teachers are really dedicated. As for snacks, parents of the children will take turn to provide and I have volunteer to do so every Friday. So children will have quality snacks everyday from Tuesday to Friday. Last Friday was my turn and I forgot! Hehehe... so ended up buying chocolate/sugar doughnuts and yogurt for the children.

Now that Reese has settled nicely in school, I am trying to prepare his homeschooling materials and schedules. Will be coordinating with the school's syllabus if I can. The teacher has agreed to give me a summary of what Reese will be learning and doing this year. Homeschooling for this year will start in March. Yippie....
