PTC

We went to Christian's school last Saturday for our 2nd parent-teacher conference.
Yes, even toddlers and children in nursery have PTCs these days. =7

The teachers didn't say much that we didn't already know, such as

- His mandarin has improved leaps and bounds; he understands a lot more mandarin and can even ask simple questions in mandarin now (compared to when he first entered school in July last year, when he barely understood mandarin).

- Song Lao Shi said he can be go quite 'wild' when he plays with his friends, and tends to bump around and hurt himself. Nonetheless, he is rather obedient and can be persuaded to do the right thing. (Thank goodness he's not so stubborn!)

- Ms Huimin mentioned that he's one of the most verbal in class. He loves storytime, and will often create his own stories, and songs based on familiar tunes. He's also the ringleader in class. When he disrupts her in the middle of some activity by singing and dancing around, his classmates will follow suit. She regains control of class when she directs him to pay attention, cos the rest will quieten down too. =7 Unlike other children who have 'best friends' in class, he gets along well with everybody.

We were glad to see genuine interest and concern in the teachers. Their eyes lit up when talking about Christian, which is a great comfort to us. For this reason, we hesitate to switch schools for him, although we think this school may not be the most academically-rigorous preschool for him. Sigh. We'll have to think about this a little more.
