"your mummy?" ... shaking her head.
"your grandpa?" ... shaking her head.
"your grandmum?" ... shaking her head.
then who??
teacher asked her parents if they wrote her homework.

"We hold her hand and write, teacher."

no forcing

telling myself that i won't force the children to read, or do his/her schoolworks.
learning should be fun and interesting. Forcing them to do so, won't benefit to anybody.
he is behaved today. And he managed to read all of his books to me. I gave him an "Excellent" mark from my heart!

4

4 years old are learning to write '4' today;
5 years old are revising on numbers, and are doing the '4' exercise;
6 years oll aina was sitting with the 5 years old class, writing her English writing, and she wrote and '4' instead of 'abc' in her exercise book.

in his own world?

i was teaching in front of the class; he was singing the CNY song, and wishing his friends happy CNY.
oh no, 50% of his friends did his tricks with him, and just the remaining children were with me.
i'm kiasu, that's why i stopped him for doing that.

10, 20, ...

we learn 21, 22, 23, 24 today.
"let's group the items in ten. circle the items of ten. Then count how many items all together in the box."
He circled 2 circles, and left out the remaining. Great!
But he can't count how many altogether.
"Nevermind, let's count together."
"here, 10, another 10, makes 20. 10, 20, and the next number is?"
"30. 10, 20, 30."
"no"
"it should be 10, 20, and 21, 22, 23, 24, etc."
"10, 20, 21, 22, 23, ..."
:)
i know, u are still confusing.

she cries again

school term begin, she cried a few days because of she's newbie here. When she get used and started enjoying playing with friends and read and write here; there came the CNY one week holiday; and continued absent from school because of sick--- another one week.
Finally, she back to school today; i'm happy to see her today; but she back to be as her 1st time came to the school.

crawl

we played crawling games today.
kq with his morning blue today. He stayed with principal and played with his toys while everybody else playing the crawling game.
He did join the game, and he became the 'traffic police' in the game later. During the last round of the game, teacher asked him to join in the track: he started in group A's track, and he took a turn at group B's track, then came back to make another turn of group A's track, and finished his line at group B's track.

忍

那孩子，宁愿忍啊忍，忍到妈妈来接他回家，才吵妈妈说他要大便。
结果，给妈妈痛打了一顿，今天伤痕累累。 poor dear.

敏感

"do you know what happened to his lips?" asked principal.
"I've no idea. But his lips as been like that since he came yesterday."
and i assumed that he got the bruise at home. I did asked him when i noticed about that, but he seemed not telling what was happened to him.
Principal continued, "he got that in school, his parent said."
It's actually a sensitive issue --- everything that happens to a kid. But sometimes, accidents just happen, and they make the kids and I grow.

she is good now

school reopen after the CNY holiday, and i'm impress to see jx back to be good again. no crying she makes, and she is behaving. 感恩。

... ...
"it's guava."
"guava."
"have you eat guava before?"
"no."
"puut cai?"
"no"
"鸡屎果？"
"yes."

boycott

whenever i ask r to do his homework, he'll start crying. whenever i ask him to look at his book and read nicely, he'll start blaming the book and me, he's always right, but others wrong. Because of his lazy attitude, i really doesn't like him much, sometimes with scolding, and sometimes by forcing.
kq saw how i treat him; and he know that boy is not a good boy, so he starts acting like he's angry to him, and boycott him, he doesn't play with him nor share his toys with him, and he scold him like giving lesson to him.
r cries again.

“我要回家。”

“老师，我要回家。”
“好，等一下J老师载你回， 是吗？”
“mm.” (她点头。)
。。。
“老师，我要回家。”
... ...
“老师，我要回家。”
... ... ...
“我不要回家，我要放学才回家。”

从头到尾，她都是哭吟地说着。

"cikgu, nak yak"

"cikgu, nak yak.."
"dik, nak ayah?"
"nak yak... nak yak..."
"apa itu 'yak'??"
...

"oh... nak berak."
