actually 2 hrs is quite short, mabbe tat's why they cant incorporate waterplay etc. Jana's session is 3 hrs. Yeah, so far so gd with the cc, things are quite well run for the moment(dun wanna conclude too prematurely)...like b4 the kids go to the playground or waterplay, the teacher will apply mozzie cream/spray for all the kids.
i dun really know wat's a gd way to help the kids integrate, guess diff method works for diff kids. for me i stayed with her thru out the session for first 3 days. she's very scared initially, so she sit on my lap n watch the teacher conduct the class. slowly she got more familiar and on 3rd day i left her to attend music class on her own, though she din participate and ask the teaher where i was, but she din cry. 4th day i left her for awhile, but i dun just disappear lah, i told her i'm going to work(sipping coffee at starbucks!) for awhile and will be back to fetch her, she also din cry. 5th day onwards, we just left her there but i usually bring her to her class n settle her down for breakfast b4 i leave.
if u prefer the slowly phase in way, then choose schools tat are flexible, i went to Shaw and i think they said they dun hv a min or max days parent can stay with the kid, u can stay there till ur kid adjust to the school.
for communication, i lazy to write in the communication book lah, i just sms her teacher

hahaha.... think our tods dun hv the concept of today, yesterday yet, so i think they are telling us what are the things they hv been doing in school.
i kept Jana at home today and perphaps for the next few days. she's having a running nose and i think she's quite starved in school. she has a bottle of milk at 7+ when she wakes up and then though there's breakfast in school, she doesn't eat much and usually at home, she would need another round of milk at 10+, but in school they only take lunch at 1130. she's been crying for milk each time she reach home, and then yesterday was worst, the moment she saw my dad in school, she cry for milk liao. dunno whether she really tat starved or just misses her milk, very heartache leh.

yalor, me think so too, impt to hv a gd principal. so far the teachers are also quite gd, think its expected tat all teachers must know all the kids name, not just kids from their class, cos they take turns to come in early to help parents who are dropping their kids off and also to take the kids temperature and then bring them to their class.
yeah, i think i should ask for the menu also...
