Spelling practice is today for my dd: garden,rose,caterpillar,home,outside, happy, birthday,red, dog,bird
Dictation: I see a rose in the garden

Prob her's starts next wk.

My girl had her spelling practice today too. But I do not see the spelling list meant for 7/1 and 14/1 among the whole stack of spelling lists she brings back today (earliest is 21/1). According to her, the spelling list for 7/1 and 14/1 has been handed over to teacher.

Is this the case for your girl too ? What is the usual practice ? What do the dates mean ? e.g. if the spelling list has the date 21/1, does it mean the list will be tested on 21/1 or the girl has to bring the list on 21/1 ?

Thanks !

mwchua: yup they shd take lunch after CCA. CCA will start much later after the gals are all settled. I'd think they will be familiar by then.

Same problem here,anybody wonder why teachers dont write notes explaining,or are we supposed to figure it all out by ourselves?
:?

CKS: i feel the stress for her coz my dd is still in \"kindergarten mode\". While she's happy to go to sch, she gets tired after dinner and tend to wake up at ard 10am the next day, bus arrives 11.45am. DUH! Dono how i can squeeze sometime for her hw, spelling & kumon hw.


Eng Spellg: only given for 2 sets of spelling lists with dictation below. The date stated is the date of the \"practice test\".. btw don't understand why isit call \"practice\" test. it's still a test right

btw any P6s parents here??

Hi Siti, Just curious, yr other grl is now in P6. How did u handle her h/w, spelling and enrichment classes when she was in P1, was she more independent than DD3?

[KSP]

Today is my DD spelling day. 10 words and 1 sentence. She is P2 this year. I used to test her at least 3 times at home before she can get all correct but last night I only test her 1 time and she got all correct. Looks like she has adjusted herself to it.

Hi Siti: How do I get to meet the class teacher?(We did not get to meet her during the orientation day in Nov.)

Should I email her for an appt or wait for the parent teacher conf?
Would there be any more info sharing session by the school? Vaguely remember the principal mentioning that during the Nov session.
