Anthea - PTC, Monday, 11 June 2007

On Monday, i was scheduled to meet with Anthea's English and Chinese teacher for her 1st Parent-Teacher-Conference. It is semi-yearly affairs, June & November.

It's been a long while since i attended such event because Anthea's previous childcare does not facilitate such meeting. For her progress, i only get a Progress Book from her teacher. Based on her assessment and written comments, i get to know how Anthea is faring in school. No interaction at all.

Well, with this new childcare, they are very pro-parents communication. So far, i have seen many articles and events that encourage parents to feedback to teacher/the centre if they have any concerns.

At 5pm, Adrian and myself arrived at the centre. Our appointment was 5.30pm but since we were early, we requested to have it at 5pm. The teachers were very accommodating and we sat through a 10 minutes chit-chat session with the teachers.

English teacher - advised us on the things that she had thought the children. She is quite new to this centre, so she did not feedback much on Anthea's progress. She is leaving end of the month.

Chinese Teacher (罗 老师) - she said that Anthea is very attentive during lesson and can answer her questions. Also she can socialised well with her classmates. There are times she will assert her rights when playing with them.

I am happy to hear of the teachers feedback on her performance in school. So far from her interest in going to this childcare and her change of mannerism, i know she is enjoying herself very much.

After the PTC, i brought Anthea for her long overdue haircut. She likes to go to this particular salon near the market place. Tried persuading her to go to a nearer one to the childcare, she refused. Anyway, finally we got her haircut. I think her hair is too dried and now new assignment is to get her a conditioner.

Hi Astee

you mean that Anthea's English teacher is leaving? Nicole's form teacher (or rather ex-form teacher now) will also be leaving for her studies, so next term she'll have to adjust to a new form teacher. That's quite sad cos she loves her form teacher very much and looks up to her as her idol.

Hi Nellie,

Yes,fyi, since she started January 2007, she had a change of 4 English teachers... : (

I have feedbacked to the childcare, the principal said that they are trying their best to get the most eligible candidate.

So, i am hoping the next one will last to end 2007.

Wow..hopefully Nicole can manage the change as her idol is leaving..sigh ...this is reality.
