Meet the parents session

Today we met up with Javier’s teachers. I am pleased and relieved to hear very good comments on his learning progress and behavior in school. Both teacher mentioned that he has no problem in his work and he learnt things fast. He can grasp what the teacher is saying very fast, thus teachers like to ask him to demonstrate to the class on some occasion, like dong some actions and dancing. ^_^. 

His Chinese teacher 郭老师 feedback that his word recognition is very good, (thanks to 四五快读). But this in turn makes the lesson seems boring to him, thus his attention span tends to wonder elsewhere during some lesson time.

But other than that, he is a well-rounded boy, outspoken, participate actively in sports, dance and singing. Frankly I feel so pleased and relieved that he is coping so well in this school now. I would say he has started to enjoy going to school now, I think the main reason is  that he likes his 2 teachers. Did I mentioned that Javier’s current English teacher is a 3rd one for this year!!! He doesn’t really enjoy or like the previous 2 teachers, thus he really really dislike going to school during term 1 and 2. However, I noticed that his whining started to get lesser and lesser as term 3 progress, until presently, he doesn’t says he don’t want or don’t like to go school already. Phew… that’s a really a load off my mind.

It is only when I met up with his English Teacher Mrs Tismo that I started to understand why he love this teacher. She is a really gentle, caring and patient teacher who really dote the kids. Though she has only taught Javier for about a term, she has already won the trust of Javier. I believe that it’s only when the kids really like the teacher and enjoys going to school, that is when the kids will really learn well and progress. I sees a huge improvement in his learning progress as compared to the previous terms. 

One thing I like to mentioned is that this teacher has a effective and simple way to teach spelling, that is, she teach the kids how to spell numbers thru singing. Javier loves to sing his number spelling song every day..which goes like this O-N-E 1, T-W-O 2….. (of course there is a rhythm to it) ^_^ In this way he can spell his number effortlessly now.
