Termly Developmental Milestone

Mummy rcv my termly developmental milestone report from teacher Shufen, my form teacher. Teacher Shufen mention dat i still hv room for improvement. Mummy stared at me, her eyes big big. She's gonna set a routine for me again; she did dat last year & she's gonna do it again. Here are the comments (word for word):-

Language Arts
During this term, sight reading was introduced to the Nursery through readers & wordcards. Lionel picks up the words quickly but alos tends to forget them easily. I feel that he requires more practice in this area as having a strong reading foundation will help him to read better in the future years. However, Lionel knows his alphabet & phonics sounds very well. He is alos quite independent in is written work but needs constant reminder to complete his work neatly.

Maths Concepts
Mathematical concepts like matching, comparing of sizes, height, length, etc were introduced to Lionel. He understands the above mentioned concepts & is seen trying to relate his understanding into play. For example, he does compare which block toner is taller, which bowl has more food & etc.

Chinese Language
志聪：虎头虎脑的小家伙, 很讨人喜欢。他象个小大人似的，老师讲课能睁大眼睛看着老师；很专注。他的学习能力较强; 儿歌，唐诗，生字吸收很快，发音方面须加强。上课画儿的彩色不是很均匀，须更加认真。加油！志聪！你一定会做到我们班里最棒的。

Others
A boy who enjoys music and is always seen dancing and moving to songs & rhymes. Lionel is also interested in pretend play as he is keen to express his ideas & feelings through play times. However, he needs constant reminders to share, take turns & not being too rough in class. Furthermore, Lionel also needs to put in more effort in his speech like pronounication as his speech is not quite strong. I strongly believe that Lionel will make improvement in his weaker areas if he continues to work hard.

Lionel dear, pls "jia you" Next time when u grow up & happen to see these comments by your teacher, you will then understand why i hv to be hard on you always. The education system is not like drinking plain water, whereby u can spill & splash all you like. There are ever changing rules & regulations & i need you to follow closely so that you will not lack behind. It is not easy to explain & i also do not wish to complicate matters. So just remember - To study hard is your main priority now. Its for the sake of your future.
