孩子们

Thankful for Alyssa's passionate co-form teacher, who is also her Chinese teacher. 

She had no qualms sharing her mobile number with parents and created a WA group chat with all the parents. Since Day 1, she has been sending very regular updates and photos of the kids during recess, and sometimes videos of the kids during class or snack break time. She updates parents on homework to be done and/or books to bring as well. 

Thanks to her, I know firsthand what Alyssa bought during recess haha. :)

====================
I'm proud of Alyssa. She bought her first drink on the 2nd day of school! A bottle of mango juice. 

And on her 3rd day of school, she bought a plate of fried noodles. :) She wanted to buy it on Day 2 but said she couldn't find the "Stall 5: Fried Noodles" that Nadya had told her about lol. So I spent some time at night describing to her where and how to find it. And she did it on Day 3!

Our Peanut 长大了！

She just hasn't discovered the bookshop.......Yet. lol.

====================
In the meantime, I'm proud of Nadya too. Getting more independent. She's more or less been packing her bag by herself since start of P2 and has been settling her homework at the student care centre dilligently. 

Handling her "start of school year" stuff and helping her settle down into her new P3 life has been alot easier compared to past years. 

The only thing is...she's still sticking to buying fried noodles during recess hahaha. Tried encouraging her to buy char siew rice/noodles to no avail...I can tell she does want to try it out but is still sticking to fried noodles/jelly/drinks/burger maybe because of the familiarity and because she is apprehensive of the wanton/char siew noodle stall auntie lol. In time to come maybe....Jiayou Nadya!
