1) Ah, my DD didn't say that the colouring one is to colour in class so she got up early one morning to finish colouring it. The writing part and half the colouring were already done in school.
:!: cosschellen:
My DD so far only brought back one colouring exercise with simple writing on lines and a simple Maths exercise.
ADD: Forgot to mention a Chinese colouring exercise.
1) the colouring on the farm animals my boy said no need to colour at home. he said can colour in class when waiting for others to complete their work (so far he is <50% done with the colouring)
2) math exercise???!!!
3) chinese colouring???!!!
I only see the farm one and the art and craft face.
2) the math exercise one they do like 3 time already cos I saw 3 different dates in the workbook. But the concepts were already taught in K1/K2 so it was easy. So don't worry. I only knew got homework cos I was packing DD's bag and happened to see the maths workbook in her bag. Since the workbook is usually kept by teacher at school, I browsed through it to check why she brought it home.
3) The Chinese colouring one was on first or second day of school. The title of the exercise in the workbook is \"miao yi miao\". Maybe your DS completed it at school?
I also saw the art and craft face. If colouring is required, my DD likes to use many colours, even for just one horse, and will colour very neatly and slowly. Maybe that's why she had to bring it home to do as homework? -

It is not that local uni not gd enough. Everyone gets knowledge from formal schooling. But NIE teaches teachers-to-be methodologies, strategies on teaching, share on new syallabus / directives. They must have SOP.
[quote]Now I don't even know whether the schools I've shortlisted has got CA or not... Neighbourhood schools, the website like few years ago type... siao liao... [/quote]Which sch are you looking at? -
New Town Pri and Queenstown... you have any idea which is better?
[quote]It is not that local uni not gd enough. Everyone gets knowledge from formal schooling.

[/quote]True lar... so decided that might as well go teach the subjects I'm best at and I can explain better with since I understand the concepts, rather than go for rigid system. They even tell me if I teach eng-based subjects, I cannot choose which subjects to teach. Scarly I kanna science, how? My face was already liao. -

I wasn't from Science stream in my sec sch days and yet I teach my girl Science. If you can teach sec level, what is pri level?
[quote]They even tell me if I teach eng-based subjects, I cannot choose which subjects to teach.[/quote]My son's form teacher teaches eng, maths, ss, health, pe. MOE short of teachers??
I think Fairfield Methodist should be better than New Town or Queenstown. However, I pass by Commonwealth and see that New Town has a new building. -
I was from pure science with physics and chemistry, but I just hated it. Made to do science in my sec school bec of my results? But I just hated it. So, when I entered JC (luckily that time still have commerce stream), I chose commerce immediately. I just can't bear getting forced into a job when I do not have passion in it.
[quote]My son's form teacher teaches eng, maths, ss, health, pe. MOE short of teachers?? [/quote]haha... with that kind of rigid selection criteria, how not to be short-handed of teachers...
Fairfield is a good school, but I don't think I stand a chance to go in given my distance from school. So I better not risk, plus lots of other factors like time to wake up, school transport etc...
[quote]However, I pass by Commonwealth and see that New Town has a new building.[/quote]Ya, new town merged with ghim moh and moved into the new building this year. -

1) My boy's half coloured piece of same worksheet is still sitting in his folder. I am waiting for teacher to write a note to me if he really misunderstood the instructions.
1) Ah, my DD didn't say that the colouring one is to colour in class so she got up early one morning to finish colouring it. The writing part and half the colouring were already done in school.

That's the difference! If the teacher said 'you CAN colour it', he'll interpret it as an optional activity and just not bother about colouring. All his animals are in one colour only.....I think some K1 students colour better than him!
Spelling starts next Friday..... -
Hi jedamum,
Can share what sort of spelling words your child has?
