First day of Kindergarten
6:26 PM
Today is Chlovelle's first day of school in Town Center Elementary.
The school in similar to Singapore's Primary 1,
whereby you need purchase your own lunch and take care of your own stuff.
The teachers don't baby you anymore, so the kids have to be independent.
The school system here is different from Singapore.
For example; if i live in District A i have to attend the schools in District A.
So for Chlovelle's case, we live in District A, but our address is under District B,
so that gives her a chance to ballot for a seat in District B schools (only 2 choices)
After many months of waiting,
i am very glad that velle got into my first choice school,
PLUS she is in the same school as Seraphina, only different class. But YAY!
I woke up at 6 to prepare her stuff, and she is up by 630.
Very cooperative and very excited!
New owl backpack that i could not resist buying!
Looks huge on her though LOL
Because she missed her "meet the teachers" session last week due to our vacation,
we reached really early to let her get use to her new school.
We were so proud!
She isn't teary or clingy at all, such a brave girl!
They each have a desk with cubbies to put their bags.
SOOO CUTE!
During their lunch time, i insisted to peep at her.
Daddy didn't want to go at first because I'm acting like a very creepy parent LOL
But i am just curious ok!
I wanted to see how they do things during lunch, and is she well taken care of.
We saw her "pay" for her food and carry her own tray (awwwww) to her table.
SO CUTE
She looks like she's eating well, and i left after seeing that she is fine.
(see! not creepy at all!)
School ends at 3, the long long Q of cars is quite frustrating.
I will probably park further and walk to pick her up tomorrow
Our dear little girl did so well on her first day!
Thank God!
Lastly, i want to thank Serene for helping me get her school supplies
while we were away (we were at Bahamas)
And special thanks to Danielle got answering my gazillion qns!
HAHA!

First day of school in Dallas
12:26 PM
Summer break is finally over!
It has been 3 months since Chlovelle attended any classes.
I was expecting her to be clingy, crying buckets of tears & screaming for me.
But kids always surprise their parents right?
She went into class without any fuss, smile and wave good bye to us...
Really? That was quite easy..... LOL
Woke up early to have milk.
Her class starts at 9am,
but i wanted her to reach early so she can get comfortable with the environment.
Very cooperative.
Let me dress her up, brush and wash her face.
Nicely do up her hair...
I know her bag is HUGE, but I was thinking to extend her school hours in the next few
months so she can nap there, and we need to bring their nap mats.
So Huge is good?
Her school is like 3 mins drive from my place.
Super near! And we are early!
I like arriving because there will be lesser crying kids,
and lesser kids means the teachers is able to put their attention on her.
(Oh, spot the mummy trying to take a nice picture of her son! LOL!)
Walking in like a Boss!
Cute bin to place her bag
Squatting near the entrance of her classroom,
as we wait for other parents to sign in their kids.
Most parents are early too. hahaha!
Cool-y signing in.
The assistant teacher wore a flashing light on her finger.
That help to attract kids, like my little Chlovelle, into class. LOL
She is like what's that? can i see? And happily walk into class.
Some activity is already placed on the table,
and that's her waving byebye to Daddy.
(Oh, I think Chlovelle might be the oldest in class - born in March)
We came back at 12nn to pick her up.
Teachers updated the whiteboard outside the class on what they did today.
According to the teachers,
she did not cry, able to understand instructions & most importantly the teachers understand her English. LOL
Unfortunately, the lead teacher accidentally scratched velle's face, leaving a big red cut.
Woke up from a 2 hours nap,
and the quekies ate cereal. SO CUTE RIGHT!
In the evening, we went out to deposit money.
Place the cash in the capsule and it will get suck into the bank, where the banker will deposit for us.
Hubby jogged, while velle cycle in the park.
I had a hard time catching up. Tsk
I want a bike too please.
No one feed the ducks on weekdays,
so when they see us, machiam see cai sheng ye
First day of school turns out super well!
She only attends school on M-W-F, so lets hope she do well on Friday too (:(:
