Parent-Teacher Conference @ Kyrie’s School

*25th Feb 2009*

After 6 weeks of school, Kyrie’s school has called for a one to one conference with each and every parent to discuss the child’s progress.

Montessori areas of learning:

• Practical Life
• Sensorial
• Mathematics
• Language and Literacy
• Cultural Subjects (which include Geography, History, Natural Sciences, Experimental Sciences)
• Creative Subjects (Art and Craft, Music and Movement, Drama)

Currently, Kyrie is learning the sensorial materials where she must learn to pour water from jug to cup until the required amount and any spill, she has to clean up.

Her second tasks is the pink tower. She’s required to build the tower from biggest to smallest cube.

Objectives :

1. To develop the child’s visual and muscular perception of dimension in judging sizes
2. To develop the child’s co-ordination of movement and fine motor control
3. To prepare the child, indirectly, for mathematics by giving the child experiences in comparison, grading and seriation with the cube
4. To give the child basic language- important in mathematics

So here’s her overall review / report:

1st Report Card

Notice what's written for social behaviour?

Kyrie is always willing to lend a helping hand. Means she very kepoh in class lah. Kaki bodek also!!

Hallie turns 11 months old

Yesterday, my little darling turn 11 months and 1 day old and she developed fever. Yiik!!!

She was already abit ham pau (crying baby) since 2 days ago, but I thought she was just seeking attention from us. Yesterday, after MIL went back around 11 am, Hallie took her usual cereal.  By 1 pm, the maid called me and said Hallie developed fever. Temp was 38 degree. I told her to feed mei-mei some paracetamols.

I was home by 4:30 pm because Papa and I went to Kyrie’s school for parent-teacher conference. Shall blog on this tomorrow because I left the SD card in office.  Hallie was taking her nap. When she woke up around 5 pm, her fever didnt subside. She was whinning and can tell she was not feeling good. Poor baby.

I fed her another round of paracetamols in the evening and we decided to let her skipped her evening porridge. Gave her 150 ml milk and she felt asleep. I woke up a few times to take her temp and put a cold pad on her. Luckily her temp came off during the night or else I know I’ll have another sleepless night.

Hallie baby, be strong and have a speedy recover, ok?? *Muak*

Playmates

Who are your playmates as you grow older? Most of our friends are either married with kids and those bachelors out there are usually out with friends on weekend boozing and blah blah blah with the opposite sex.

So, who do you play with when you really need a partner or friend to play game with?

Play Wii with the kids

Training the kids to play Tennis on Wii. Lol….

US has Williams sisters and in Spore we have the Wongs sisters. I just hope my girls won’t turn into Venus and Serena Williams size.  William Sr Wong Snr was very serious wor. Keep telling his eldest to hit harder!!!

10 mins later.

Wong Snr. no more stamina after 10 mins. Venus and Serena Kyrie and Hallie, you play by yourselves, ok?

Daddy Wong

Hahaha, back after the timeout and need to use two hands to play Tennis on Wii.

That’s how our Daddy Wong spent his Sat evening. Exercising on the Wii..

Kyrie’s words to Aunty Mei Keng

Remember Mei Keng bought a set of princess clothing for Kyrie as present recently? She didn’t buy any present for Hallie because she doesnt know what to buy for a baby.

When Mei Keng came back to our house on the first night, this conversation took place between her, Kyrie and me.

K : Aunty Mei Keng loves me. Buy me present.

Me: Did you thank Aunty Mei Keng?

K went up to Mei Keng and said, “thank you” and she told MK this.

K: Mei Mei is angry. You no buy present for her. She’s sad!!! *LOL*

Hahahha. So last night, Mei Keng came home with a little present for Hallie as well.

Guess who is playing with the toy now?

Kyrie – lah

Spore Zoo

Yes…we went to the zoo again over the weekend because every morning kyrie sings this, “I want to go Zoo….but not school” LOL

This round we spend more time on watching shows and less walking.

Kyrie is afraid of the snake. Mommy pretend like not afraid and touched the snake but deep inside….very scare. Hehehe

Hallie, on the other hand, slapped the “tribe man” who touched her face. Hahah…padan muka!!

Battery Out!!

Princess Kyrie

Aunty Mei Keng who came to Singapore yesterday and bought this Princess set for her. She wanted me to help her dress up as princess!!

Use the mini skirt as veal

Full gears but still must wear her pyjamas pants coz the skirt is too short!!

See the "lan-si" look!!!

Hallie @ 10 months 2 weeks

See Mom, I can walk already…….:P

Yippy………….

Yes…..at 10 months, 2 weeks…my little “angel” can walk with the help from this walker. Problem is once she knows she can walks with this little helper, she refuses to sit nor play by herself. She wants to keep walking non stop. We have to stand behind her in case she falls and ended up, the tired one is the adult who supervise her. At the end, I have to hide the walker from her….

Little Nyonya’s CNY Celebrations in School

Today, Kyrie’s school celebrated CNY by combining both the morning and afternoon session together. There was lion dance together with performance by the older students from the Mandarin Enrichment Classes.

This morning she woke up happily putting on the costume together with the beaded shoes that Ashley gave her. She allowed Zinny to tie her hair into a bun, wahh….what a lovely girl she is!!

Waiting for school bus to come

She even reminded me that teacher said no need to bring school bag and tumble to school.

The happy nyonya came home with 2 mandarin oranges and an angpow (2 choco gold coins).
