Parent Information Night
Last night we had a parent information night. Parents came to their child's classroom for a presentation by the teachers about their curriculum and the learning areas. We actually had 9 out of 17 families show up. Most classes said they had about half but a few only had 2 show up. I thought not a bad turnout. The parents did have questions about children learning the 3 R's (this is 3 year olds) but I was able to quite nicely talk about the beginning skills children need to acquire to be prepared for later learning. Overall our parents are happy with us and said so. Today the bosses have ordered pizza from Pizza John's for our lunch.
We just had our first biting incident. The one who turned 4 last week just took a big bite of another girl because that girl said she didn't want to play with the one who did the biting. Never mind that it's not play time but Chinese Language Activities time. These kids are picking up Chinese faster than me.
Swimming is going well. There has hardly been anyone in the pool the last few times I've gone. I wonder if there is a surge in Sep and after a few weeks people lose interest. Well, makes it easier for me. I can walk 15 min. on the treadmill. I was quite surprised how much easier it is to walk on a treadmill than on the sidewalk.
My niece is getting married on Sat. so I have been thinking about home a lot for the last week or so especially since I have a week's holiday. If I had enough money I could have flown home for the week. I imagine I would have been pretty exhausted when I came back to work though and I would give up time seeing China. Work really is an obstacle to having the time to see everything I want to see.
I found out this week that the banks will be closed all of next week too. Pay day is Friday but the banks close at 11 a.m. that day. I hope I can buy groceries because I doubt if I will be able to do that until Sat. Hmm! Maybe I better check that out.
I'll try to write again on Fri. and then I won't have computer access until Oct. 9th when you will all be enjoying your turkey. Just in case HAPPY THANKSGIVING
