Maxine:

Yesterday my daughter came home with Chinese spelling list. She said dunno when is the test. But luckily her aunt taught her the first table.


Today my daughter came home saying she got chinese spelling tomorrow but teacher took away her spelling list today ??? Anyone here has a kid in St Francis 1? Can advise what is happening since my kid is so blur?

I also tot teachers will indicate assignment or instructions on soemthing for us but no school diary yet, then our kids still so blur, I really have no idea what is happening.

Hi there, It sounds very strange. Coz spelling is usually given after the \"ke\" is taught by the teacher. This is only Week 1, to have a spelling test doesn't sound usual. But anyway, let your daughter find out more, time to let them and be independent Marks for spelling are taken into consideration for report book.

Or you might want to email the Chinese Teacher. Their email can be found on the delasalle website.

Hi DLSS Parent, ya I also tot sound strange. I did see the chinese spelling but the teacher didnt put a date which was left blank also on each table. Shows date : _____ (blank). Funny huh? SO no clue when was spelling. Then today she said got spelling tomorrow but teacher took list away. Yes you are right , I will email teacher but i guess they will be inundated with emails from parents like us :roll:


I know its just the beginning and there wil be teething problems for newbies like us with kids in P1 but somehow I feel a gap of communication bet us and Teachers and school esp when our kids are still clueless on the Primary school culture. However I will just see how it goes. Not going to jump up and down on this. Maybe things will get better once school diary is out.

Thanks for your response!

Maxine,


My son is very choosey with food too. So far only eat chicken rice and sandwich from the canteen.

He is from St Helen 1. He has no chinese spelling list. I just checked with him after I saw this post.

Btw, do the P1 parents here know what is being taught in school? So far Math not taught right? For English, only Stellar handwriting? I asked him but he can't tell me much. As for Chinese, he was asked by his Chinese teacher to recite the hanyu pinyin to me.

I got spelling list already. Best part is come back with 4 tables with no dates given. Then next day teacher made them write the dates on the individual tables. By next Wednesday I got to teach her 12 Han Yu Pin Yin spelling. And she doesnt like chinese.
Oh ya - I don think they learnt Maths yet. Her textbook looks very clean.

Melodyrain, your son still can eat chicken rice and sandwich . Not bad leh. BTW - any idea how much is chicken rice or sandwich? My girl very blur. Ask her she say dont know. :slapshead:

I wonder is it just mine or its normal for kids transiting from childcare to P1 so blur?? :?: Also she is so tired after school its so hard to get her to do the work she is supposed to. Its only the first week with bare minimum homework and yet she is tired that she don even want to sit down for an hour to just do it.... :sad:

Chicken Rice is $1, cheese or egg sandwich is 40cts.

[melodyrain2]

Yes chicken rice is $1. My son told me cheese or egg sandwich is 50 cents.


I bought sandwich for snack after the orientation, the stallholder collected 50 cents from me too.

As for food, I am asking him to try the nasi lemak too since it is also one of his favourite food. But so far, he didn't. Dunno why......

I haven't look at the spelling list yet. Got Daddy to sign the other day. DS also doesn't like chinese, we are trying to change his attitude since....years ago.... :frustrated:

For Math, I thought they started this week? I saw some answers scribbed in the blanks.

I think your daughter is used to napping in the afternoon? Childcare centres will get the children to nap after lunch? My son napped twice. Once on the first day which I forced him to nap and once this week when he dozed off playing on his bed. :roll:

Hi,


Have anyone tried logging on to the AsknLearn? My son tried using his last year’s password, but it does not work anymore.

Hi,

Try via this http://lms.asknlearn.com/DLSS//ParentLogon.aspx as I could not access the AsknLearn but could via the link I provided. Let me know if you can

Hi Sysac,


I have been using the same link that you provided last year, and it worked well. But I am unable to log in since the new school year. Perhaps they are re-setting the system for the new school year? I will try again in a few days.

Thanks!
