...I recall once i had an SOS request to coach a K2

boy to read in September, some time after school
hols. I realized upon assessment that he doesn't
even know his ABCs! :shock:
.....

K2 don't know ABC? :!: :faint:

which kindergarten? no no no I don't want to know.

My DS's name is easy to write, we planned ahead fearing that he would be punished to write his name 100 times by some teacher some day. :oops:

hquek:

You think too much....where got write name 100 times? If it really happens can write once and then x 100??

Mebbe tankee kena before when he was younger. :lol:
That's why prevention is better than cure.

Hquek, punishment of writing 100 times used to be the old school
method of punishment. Not that i kena before, of course.. :preen:

hquek:

I used to tell DH to name our son 'Yi'....then very fast. only 1 stroke.

:rotflmao:

FYI, my dd just gena wrote 100 times of English Name due to forgotten to write in one of the math worksheet. I think the punishment is good better than keep remaining them this is very important especially during the exam.

These 5 months are not just for learning how to write Chinese name…whole lot more than that.


I plan to give her a good foundation for K2 - Maths/English/Chinese.
Have to stretch her a little more esp in Term 4.

My dd2 is still very much in honeymoon mood. I told her P1 is merely 5 months away.

Alas, 5 months is like a decade to her. She thought she has plenty of time to idle

[janet88]

To a child in kindy, if you tell him/her about P1. It’s like ‘what’s that ?’

I forbid my son to brainwash my daughter. Even when I coach her in her work, I try not to exert pressure on her. Primary school is a long way to go. Let her enjoy a little more until Term 4 when I teach her what is time-table, remind her about self-help skills and telling the time.

Anyway, the first few months in P1 will be sort of a honeymoon for them.

Does anyone know of any good English enrichment classes/ centres for P1 onwards?
