開學了,霏霏上小一了

時光飛逝,我的霏霏公主上小學了! 猶記得她還在襁褓中,一轉眼,雖說不還不到亭亭玉立,可是也是個古靈精怪的大女孩了。 媽咪我特地請了一天假,陪她去上第一天的課。 品澈那時我沒去,是由爸爸送的。可是那時爸爸只有在出門時拍兩張照,到學校的時候,說學校不准家長留下來,所以爸爸就去上班了…也許因為品澈一直都是讓媽咪放心,所以那時也不怎麼緊張。 大概因為霏霏是女生又是老么的關係,媽咪這次覺得好像應該要陪公主上學一下… 星星國的小學生都好早上學,媽咪差點爬不起來。出門前媽咪看到品澈對著霏霏再三叮囑,耳擔面命,充分展現了大哥哥的風範。說真的,媽咪對哥哥還真的放心呢! 因為媽咪遲了一些,結果我們在校門口堵車,根本進不去學校。爸爸就在路口放我們下,讓媽咪帶著兩小進校門。其實媽咪也不熟,還好一路上都有指路的人。 霏霏要先去集合,像我們以前朝會一樣,然後會唱國歌,宣誓,就各班帶開。家長不可以跟去教室。我們就在餐廳等。媽咪一臉茫然的想說那我要幹嘛?回家了嗎?還好問了一下別的家長,原來小一今天的下課休息是8點半,我們可以看到他們小一生下來canteen的休息的樣子。果然鈴聲一打,高年級的buddy們帶著每個小一新生來了。媽咪一開始還找不到霏霏,是看到她的hello kitty水壺才找到她。霏霏有帶peanut butter jam sandwich,所以她今天沒有去買東西。媽咪有看到其他的小一生去買簡便的魚丸面,飯什麼的。還有小一生咚咚地跑來家長去和媽媽要錢說要買零食,媽媽們在這開學第一天都比較心軟,答應了,可是都嚴重告訴他們只有今天。 休息時間結束,小朋友們又集合回教室。接下來就是中午放學了。所以媽咪就先回家,12點才再來學校。 12點來學校觀察霏霏坐校車,媽咪給嚇了一大跳。因為校車停的地方有夠亂,根本沒有順序,媽咪找好久才找到霏的3號校車。媽咪看到那些大小孩在車陣間鑽來鑽去,覺得好危險。對於這樣無組織的方式實在是心寒。 還好小一生有先在川堂集合。媽咪錯過了,又回到巴士,才發現她已坐上校車。接下來爸爸和媽咪回家,在家門口等霏霏的校車。這一等,等了近半小時。我們家算不遠的,可是校車就是這樣,繞來繞去,霏說她是倒數第二個下車的…唉。 而在我們等霏霏校車時,品澈比我們還早到家。等霏再大一點,媽咪我也要訓練霏霏自已搭公車,不受限校車的約束了…

Parents Teacher Meeting (Pin Fei)

Teacher Sheena, Pinfei's teacher called me at 2pm today for the parents teacher meeting. Because we went to Europe, we couldn't schedule a timing to go to school to meet the teacher. In the end, we agreed to use phone call to conduct the meeting. Teacher Sheena said Pinfei is a pretty good kid. Her behavior is good at school. Her learning attitude is very good and she is academically strong. She learns and picks up things very fast. She is also very nice to other kids at school. She always offeres help to other kids. Therefore, teacher sometimes feels she might be taken advantage by other kids. For example, if kids are fighting for toys, she will always give up without fight. So the teacehr tried to let her know sometimes it's ok to stand up for her own rights. Mummy is a bit surprised to hear that. Becasue she is 小霸王at home. She always takes advantage of her brother...She knew her brother will always give in to her... Teacher sheena said Pinfek has high expectatin for herself. She told the teacher, she wants to go to the same school as her brother and studies in teh same gifted program because her brother is in it. (Mummy feel a bit embarrassed becasue that sounds a bit cocky.. but the teacher said it's her to show her confidence and expectation.) She has an objective for her to achieve... 華文老師也告訴媽咪說她的華文學習很不錯。聽說讀寫都很認真,要加強的地方是寫的筆順,不過他們這種年紀的小孩,這樣就非常不錯了。華文老師也說霏霏是要求完美的學生,認真學習,有時功課做完了,還會再和老師要回去,說她要再加東西,再多寫什麼或多畫什麼讓功課更完美…想一想,霏霏就是這樣的小朋友。也許是老二,其實她好強的個性自小展露無遺。希望能達到像哥哥一樣的目標,什麼都要和哥哥或是比哥哥好。媽咪不知道這樣是好是壞,希望到時她不要過份吹毛求疵就好了。

When the weather is very good, you can also see all the way to the Alps. • Asam’s Church • Nearby (350m from Marienplatz), Hofbräuhaus München (Platzl 9, 80331 München) offers a chance to taste the lofty beverage that Munich's dukes and princes used to drink: beer, and Hofbräu in particular.

This is the second PTM we have this year. Henry Park has more PTM than Chongfu. It's a good thing.Let parents talk to teachers face to face though we already got channels to talk to teachers by email everyday. The PTM in Henry park is quite comprehensive. We need to book in advance from the website. It's like buying popular concert tickets on line. Baba and mummy always need to sit in front of PC and preapare to book immediately when the website is open for booking. We need to fight because we always book the earliest session. Then we can go to work after the PTM. No need to take day off. As usual, there are different "stations" for us parents to talk to each teacher. We just see which station is available then we can pop in. The first teacher we talk is Science teacher. Pinche's science teacher is a young guy. Well, he said Pinche is a good pupil and nothing to be worried about for him. When Mummy asked if there is anything we parents should do, he said not really...Just follow the syllbus and it will be fine. The second teacher we talked is Higher Chinese teacher. She is also a young lady. Pinche's performance of HCL is always good.This term, his composition was chosen as a "model" article, and it will be circulated to other 9 GEP schools. We did ask teacher if extra tuition for Chinese composition helpful. The teacher said the school already teaches the basic guidelines. It should be sufficient and Pinche doesn't need extra training. But the school teaches very basic way. If we want to train Pinche to be a good "literature writer", then school syllabus may not be enough. Math teachers always compliments on Pinche. She said Pinche's performance is good. She never need to worry about him. She also appreciated our feedback regarding the clash schedule of the Olympiad math training...We also asked the teacher about how the scores was decided. This is to help Wuyu's mummy ask the teacher. English teacher, Ms Ng is also Pinche's form teacher. She has greatest compliments on PInche. She said Pinche is one of the independent, mature students she has. Good emotional management. But she told us Pinche is a very sensitive kid. We just need to keep monitoring him as usual. She also explained the whole situation of "Pinche lost his English paper" incident. She said Pinche's reaction after found the paper was taken by one of the classmates is amazing. He is kind and didn't snap. He forgave the classmate and very kind. Baba and Mummy are so proud of him. The last station is to talk to Pinche's social study teacher. In GEP, social study is graded. So the teacehr would also gave feedback about pupils' performance in social study. Basically, Pinche's performance of the first semester is good. He got above average score for all subjects. The most important thing is he did it by himself. Baba and Mummy are very handsoff. He is really a good and independent kid.
