4th Lesson

The shirt that Daryl is wearing is the one and only, coz it is made by his grandmother (my MIL)!

This is the 4th lesson for Zoophonics. However, it seems that Daryl is not interested in story telling or the phonics reading as he keep on running about whenever it is the storytelling or phonics reading session. As Kaleb is also the same, Wanlin and me think that perhaps they are still not ready for such lesson yet. Thus, we decided to pull them out and look for other enrichment class that do not required them to sit down that much....muahahaa.

However, due to Zoophonics policy, we have to give a month notice for withdrawnal, thus, we used our deposit to pay for another month fee.

3rd Lesson

Bubbles time is happy times for all kids.

Posing before the lesson start.

This is the 2nd time I get Shawn to join in the lesson. Good thing is that the English teacher today is back to our usual teacher and not the stand in teacher last week who only allow 1 parent to accompany the kids.

It seem that Daryl only cannot concentrate and sit still on the floor during story telling time as he is okay with the others like art & craft, fruit tasting, games, dancing to the song etc.

For me, I like the part during the chinese lesson where they have a part on the nature teaching, teaching the kids, different types of fruits and vegetable (kids like it best if it is fruit as they get to eat it). Also, I am happy that both English and Chinese lesson have art & craft which allow the kids to paint or do some handicraft.

2nd Lesson

Today is Daryl 2nd lesson in Zoophonics but it is Shawn's first time attending the lesson with Daryl. However, Daryl's teacher is on medical leave, thus a relief teacher stand in, who is more strict, in the sense that she only allow 1 parent to accompany their child and when she saw Shawn is videoing, she stopped him immediately and say that only 1 parent is allow to be in the room. As such, Shawn's impression of Zoophonics is not good at all.

However, I do feel that this relief teacher is rather good in her teaching too except that she is too by the book.

Finally, I decided to go ahead and sign Daryl up for the Zoo Toddlers lesson (with Chinese lesson) at Zoophonics together with Wanlin despite Shawn protest.

Although Daryl have attended trial lesson at Kindermusic, Gymboree and JWT, we did not sign him up for lesson for any coz Shawn alway find the lesson too expensive and not worthwhile giving the reason that Daryl is too young. So this time, I decided to sign up even though Zoophonics do not have trial lesson as I feel Daryl is big enough for lesson since he is already 22 months old.

Shawn dropped us (together with Wanlin and little Kaleb) before he went to run his errands. Daryl was excited the moment he entered the School. He went and sit beside some older kids who are also waiting for their lesson.

Today, they started the Chinese lesson first before the English lesson. Daryl is happy and enjoy his lesson except the part on story telling where kids are supposed to sit around the teacher to listen. My active little terror cannot sit still and will move around in the class, but overall, he is fine as he did not cry or fuss. Can say that it is a good start.
