Hi kabalevsky, thanks for your reply about the dental care service. will let the dental staff check DD's condition then decide, hopefully no need to extract. Now we are trying to shake them everyday to make the two as loose as possible, hope they will drop before the appointment.


DD very kiasu and kiasi, want perfect result. She told me some kids didn't get 8/8 for spelling in the student care so teacher wont give sticker. oops....

Btw, usually during June and Dec holiday, School will arrange extra holiday program? now need to plan June holiday trip in advance.

hi sno_opy,

np

you are very cute. i also hope kids' teeth drop off themselves, ask them use tongue to push them every once in a while. cos if not, either Dh or I use thread to pull off. I don't really like to do that. so prefer they drop off themselves. so far several did drop off themselves. phew.

your dd is very driven. that's good. today's papers one whole page on young generation now, very few have the drive to succeed.

then your job is easier on that front, no need to have headache on motivation, just ensure she has time to relax and have fun only.

no, i don't recall holiday programs. only upper primary have activities. P1-2 nothing much. if you have CCA then there will be some CCA trainings, otherwise quite free.

it's the student care that's reported in the papers to have interesting holiday program because the rental is lower, they have more funds for programs. that one have to ask them so you can plan beforehand.

is the work given by student care compulsory? and what about the lessons?


[quote="sno_opy"]Hi everyone,

[sno_opy]

kabalevsky, i only read the web version of that the news report, not full version. Um...student care holiday program. will check with them.


kathyh, i don't have the chance to see the booklet. We paid $100/year for the material fee. I asked at that time can choose dont do the booklet? the person-in-charge say can, but still need to pay. When everyone in the class is doing, don't know my girl want to be the rare case.

You can see ACE's advertisement, they are just another academic result driven after student care like most of the others in Singapore. :nailbite:

ok sno_opy.


u can call me kabby like the rest. no need to type out full name, mine's too long.

[sno_opy]

kabby, my girl survived from the first dentist visit. But i hope in the future her milk teeth can drop naturally. I don't want to go through the extraction any more.


LKVM, nice to see you drop by. Now i need to get use to the weekly tingxie and spelling revision for my always want to get full marks DD.

[Kabby]

hi lkvm! glad to hear your dd is enjoying!


sno_opy, your dd has set goals for herself to achieve. as long as she is not too stressed, it’s very good!

The P1 is having 听写 on every Tuesday and English Spelling every Thursday


I have hard time teaching DD2 for 听写 especially now is the 汉语拼音 era and all these 声调!

DD2 literally learns by memorizing but she is loving school a lot and is excited every weekday morning :please:

fully agree..the kids hard to understand all these. 2nd week learned a o e i u U: (yu), next week already b p m f, then d t n l, this week j q x already....too fast for them to absorb. Lucky in LSH she learned already, so now just trying hard to memorize those 声调!

Now i understand why JP's 天下always full house. :slapshead:
