He has good vocabulary skills but needs to practice making sentences for improvement. He can discuss basic health needs of human beings such as good nutrition, dental care and exercise.

Rachel enjoys playing in the kitchen corner. She is able to name the fruits & food.

谢佳璇：她在本项游戏中能够听从老师的指挥， 积极参与， 表现良好！

I find the comments made by the various teachers a little contradicting. In one section, it is written as: ... he builds groups or sets that have more than, less than & equivalent quantities & tells which have more or less.... then the teacher commented verbally that his value concept is not strong enough; he tends to miscalculate or draw wrongly & is unable to understand fully the use of ' more than ' & ' less than '.

But anyway, i am proud of their achievements so far & i dare say they hv improve tremendously. Cannot push them too much & but of cos, there are still room for improvement & this i must work on it.
