Kyrie’s first day in K1

My girl is officially in K1 now. Very soon she will be entering primary school. I guess by mid June, Mommy will know if I’m elected to do “parent volunteering” at our preferred primary school. By the time she starts P1, the school would have moved to their new premise with a single session. Everything would be brand new. *keeping fingers cross*

Starting this year, I have decided to put her in full day school instead of going back at 12pm. Now that she’s older, she tends to skip her afternoon at home and spends all her time either fighting with her little sister or watches tv the whole day. At least now she can spend her afternoon attending enrichment classes in school instead of wasting time at home.

According to her Chinese class TA, Kyrie is doing fine and she was elected as “class monitor” yesterday. She told me she enjoyed full day school except the school bus ride home in the evening because there were a few naughty boys in her bus.

Our conversation last night.

Mommy: Did you take a nap?

K: Yes, but I didn’t close my eyes.

M: Oh!

K: You know, all the children has their own pillow, except me. Can you buy me a pillow?

M: But you weren’t sleeping. You merely lying down on the mattress.

K: Yeah, but everybody has one!!

*peer pressure*

M: Who bathe you?

K: Ai Choo Lao Shi.

M: Did she wash your pet-pet?

K: Yes…*giggle*

M: When you bathe, was all the other children naked?

K: What is naked?

M: No wear anything means naked.

K: Oh!! Yeah, I naked.

M: Hehe, did you peep at other naked children?

K: No. Ai Choo Lao Shi said cannot look else where. Eyes look in front and face lao shi only.

M: Hahahaha. Ok.

*Kids are so innocent”

Since 1st of Jan, Kyrie has weaned off her bottle. Now she only drinks from cup. Once her formula is finished, I will switch her fresh milk.

She started taking music lessons and swimming since a few months back. Her interests are still there and we will continue with those lessons.  I’m debating if I should start her with some “chinese enrichment” class. The school that I aiming to enroll her has a strong chinese background and if she does go there, I need to make sure her chinese foundation is there. Both of us can read nor write chinese and we can coach her. In fact, now she knows more chinese characters than me. From those “reading books” that she brought home, 99% of the words I can’t recognised. So far is always Popo there who teaches her and make sure she’s reading the correct words.
