Sharing from Theresa - New school year experiences

Dear all

This is the start of the 1st week of school. With kind advice of Jo & Chloe, I had contacted and spoken to Felicia's form teacher about her sensitiveness and so far, she loves her form teacher and is crazy about school. She also now loves her new chinese teacher. Hopefully things will continue to go smoothly for her (fingers crossed). She also says the darnest things..."mommy, please pray that I will be class leader, and a good one too. But I don't want to be a prefect. I don't know how to say the pledge!". Talk about 5 year planning, yah!

At least its an improvement to what she told me when she was in K2 when I pretended I didn't have money. This little scrooge said "I don't have any money! I only have $10!!"

Tiffany is the exact opposite of Felicia. Whilst Felicia finds the hols boring and can't wait to get back to school, Tiffany finds the hols boring but still prefer boring home to dreadful school. Guess being the psle year doesn't help either. I've already told her no hols for her as she has to gear herself to psle. Thanks to God she was "streamed" into a better maths class this year (just for maths) from the start of the year, so she's already learning algebra ahead of others in her class.

Hopefully her grades would improve in time for the psle!! But I am mindful of her personality..she doesn't perform well under pressure...so mommy is feeling the pressure but must act "cool", otherwise she'll freak out and have brain-freeze!

Thats all for now.

Love, Theresa
