Parents - Teacher Session & Report Card - L

On Thursday (22nd May) morning we went to L's school for the parents -teacher session and to collect her report book. I am excited but sad at the same time.... I tried so hard not to show it to L but I think I failed... It should be a joyous occasion, L collecting her report book for the first time. I'm so sorry Sweetie.... I was very glad that LZdaddy was there with us. I can't imagine what it would be like without him around.

We waited for about 15 mins before we get to see her form teacher, Ms Liang. She told us she was very impressed with L's English results, including her oral and listening comprehension and she was expecting L to do better for her Maths. She did better for her trial test paper. It's ok.... She was already feeling slightly sick on that day... She is one of the top scorers in class for English paper :)

Comments written by the teacher:

L is a hardworking and helpful pupil. She displays great enthusiasm in her work and has a positive attitude in her studies. She is consistent and prompt in her work. L also participates actively in class discussion and converses well in English. She gets along well with her peers.

Besides that, teacher commented that L could have done better for her Maths if she is not so careless. This is something that we have been nagging her... Teacher also commented that L is very vocal and sometimes she is surprised that L was able to give answers to tough questions during group discussions. Of coz there were negative comment too, like she tends to swayed away from main topics when having group discussion. This is something that we have noticed too and we have been trying to tell her that.

Next, we went to see her Chinese teacher... Sad to say, the Chinese teacher said the same thing about her. I wonder why she has so much to talk! *-* She said L needs to speak more Mandarin, she lost marks on the conversation. Teacher said she is good with writing and reading but when comes to conversation, she tends to mix it with English. Oops! I should have known! Other than that, the teacher is very happy with L :) She also told me that L scored the highest in her class for her Chinese paper! Wow! I'm surprised again! She was so sick that day and I never expect her to do so well.... I think she may have scored full marks if not for the fever!(thick-skinned mommy) Hehehe....

Side track a little ya.. L heard about the Sichuan earthquake and she was very sad... She and her classmates were talking about it. I am glad that the kids do talk about stuffs like this.... During this period, she was very worried for her teacher, Ms Liang, she was in Nanjing. She asked whether Nanjing is close to Sichuan and prayed for her teacher's safety... We told her teacher about this and she was very touched...

Overall, L did great for this SA1 :) We are very happy with her results! I hope she will do better for SA2 ;) For the next few months, I will be reminding her many times to talk less and check more :)

After the session, we went for Mcdonald breakfast :) We were happy to spend time alone with her, something that we have not done for a long time :)
