Coping with Primary 1

How is it possible to draw a line :?: ...cannot push too much, neither can be too slack. Kindergarten syllabus not standardized...neither is P1 now. A mother with a P1 daughter in MGS told me it's stressful keeping up grades. I can't afford to kill myself to keep my daughter's grades up...as long as she passes, I'm happy enough. It's not fair to say this, but I still have an older one in P5...he is the main priority now.
Janet , you are one wonderful mom, taking really good care of your children. :hugs:
Seems like your DD's school ( Pei Hwa, right?) is really ahead - my DS's ( in P1 too) school (GEP school too) is taking it much slower. So its ok , dun worry too much...
And its only right you focus more on your DS - its a stage when they need more guidance. so no guilts , ok :snuggles:
Take care of yourself - its very important -

My daughter is in CHIJ Toa Payoh. Her school is really taking EL to a new level at P1 :faint: Last night, I was revising with her for the CL test today...told her to go through the 填写汉字 and 词语 b4 the test. She told me, 'What's the big deal ? It's only a test ?' :slapshead:janet_lee88:

came across this thread...
didnt know asking a child to write a story with the help of a few pictures & helping words is called creative writing... i learned something new..
DS started in K2 this year... on writing 4 sentences for 4 diff pictures.... is this called creative writing as well... or constructive sentencing... :scratchhead: -
Ya. In my DD 's school , it is called composition. She is given four pictures to write 3 to 4 paragraph .

Yes, it's called composition.
There are helping words and the students are supposed to form sentences using the helping words and link up the pictures. -
but primary 1 do composition? wow…
but DS only required to write 4 sentences - 1 for each picture wor… -

On average, there are about 6-8 sentences for 3 pictures. I definitely need to sign my daughter up for creative writing class from next term. Her teacher said she tends to write whatever goes to her mind. Next term, there will be Show & Tell as well as 4 pictures for creative writing.but primary 1 do composition? wow...

Creative Writing is the one & 1st tuition that I will start my DD2 with when she enters P1 next year! :evil:
Am seeing the \"struggles\" that my DD1 went thru since her school started her off with Composition writing in P2 and the actual EL Paper 1 exam in SA1 the coming SA2!

Daughter's school takes creative writing to new heights...so I have to start her on creative writing asap.
