you PV for the morning reading program before the school starts? was ask to PV for that…but i didn’t know what is it about so didn’t want to commit to something when i’m unsure if i can do a good job…
-
Yes that's the one I do! It's from 730 - 745, so it's something I can commit to on a regular basis without any problems with my work. It's not difficult - you have to monitor students in a certain level and help them with reading.

hubby was asking me if I can do so much PV…oh well…if really can’t handle will have to cut down then…probably recess just one day…will see how it goes…

are you doing the reading everyday?
-
No, used to do twice a week, but may consider everyday since I would need to be at the school by 730 anyway to drop the kids!
I would say start small - maybe recess duties initially once or twice a week. Swimming you can opt for when your son is doing it, should be term 3 (term 2 will be 1/1 to 1/4), and for field trips, do the ones your son will be in. This is what I have observed the other parents to be doing...preciousjam:

hmm…might just do that…since will have to fetch him after the trips and swimming lessons…seems like quite a number of parents interested in Pv…

Really! When I was given the form by a PV, I saw that the booth was manned by a parent I know from my PV time. She said I didn't need to fill it up, so I just left from there. I would have become a PV if I was not one already. This gives us a chance to see the teachers in a different environment and can help us talk to them about our kids I guess. I for one learnt quite a bit about the school, teachers and their environment in my stint in the last 1.5 years.

Yup! And working together with the teachers and the school, we can do the best we can for our children!

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how much pocket money are you planning to give your kids when they start school? I was thinking of $1 per day everyday and $2 on the Tuesdays when they have to stay back in school for CCA. What do you think? Is it too much, too little? Would love to hear what everyone has to say?
