I do enjoy all of you coming by my blog.. and do drop me a comment or two if you like. Just a quick “hello” .. so i know you are here.. And welcome to Charmaine, Charlene and Mikio-San. Thank you for your emails.. it was lovely .. that you took time to write me emails.

We are preparing to meet Chloe’s teacher this Friday for a Parents and Teacher’s meet. 2.5 months into school. .and already a meeting. Well.. this is not the first meeting.. we had another general one earlier .. maybe a month and a half ago. But her Adaptations Report was updated today.. lets start with Chloe’s strength in school.

Chloe enjoys communicating with others. She is cooperative, friendly and helpful to other students. She also pays attentions to instructions and tries her best. She is pleasant, interact well with peers and provides positive reinforcement to her peers. She has good gross motor skills (age appropriate).

And This is Chloe’s needs (weakness) - Chloe needs to increase her number and letter recognition. She needs to understand the concept of what “1″ means (i am pretty sure she does - so this one I’ve to remember to ask her teacher). To build rhyming skills and other phonemic awareness. Chloe also needs to reinforce articulation sounds (expressive), she also needs to expand her vocab (receptive) and here i thought she had very good vocab (gotta check with her teacher about this). She has difficulty with following sounds : L, Y.R, Z, V and SH. And lastly, she has difficulty with following pronouns (he/she, him/her), regular past tense.

Please note that Chloe is not 5 yrs old yet. And i really think she knows the he/she and him/her.. but gets it mixed up sometimes (which i remember we all do .. or all kids does it sometimes). 2.5 months into school and personally i feel that she had actually learned a lot. She also speaks a lot of french.. and even learned how to sing the happy birthday song in French. As you can see her weaknesses seems a lot more than her strength. So what do you think ..?? as a mummy.
