re: GUG (my humble feedback)
<font color="119911">read only if you are interested. else skip</font>
1. the timing of the classes sucks. i picked the 930am one cos it's the least worst. but land up still cannot make it. the class started 1 min and YE started to be cranky liao. but if you can find a suitable timing, then this is not a problem
2. language. wa, the teacher li li lor lor so much i also blur. but i think YE find her a nag at certain parts and switched off. else, she's quite intrigued and would go v near the teacher
3. last week we learned "J". So it was "Jerry the Jellyfish" n how it wiggles. some kids quite fascinated, some kids can't be bothered. the teachers went around letting the kids touch the jelly fish, YE din even wanna look at it
4. then we had jam, jelly etc, cos it was J theme right. so they gave each kid a biscuit, spread with jam. i find this v interesting. it's a good way to make them learn instead of just nagging at them
5. very good in teaching YE routine and discipline. cos at home and at her granny's, it's own-time-own-target for whatever she likes to do. but in the class, she has to follow predetermined steps of doing things. we (meaning YE and me) hated this at the beginning. she din wanna follow the crowd in doing what the teacher says. v stressed and paisei for me. i wanted to just not go for the remaining 7 classes and forfeit my school fees cos really sian. i dun like to "force" her to do things and then scarly she's put off from learning. but later i thot this is essential to help her ease into the singapore school system (yes, i very kiasu, think so long ahead)
6. art work. they had to paste kellogs frosties on a sheet of paper. she ate all that she found in her bowl. the teacher said to develop their pincher grip. so i just relax since she obviously has v good pincher grip to grip the frosties. they must have tasted better than her boring plain cheerios. quite paisei when everyone had art to bring home, hers was just blank since she ate everything. i told the teacher forget it, just throw the paper
7. break time. it was cute to see my bb turn into a big gal and sit at the tables and chairs. i had to refrain from crying. yes, melodrama. but i see her sitting there by herself, drinking from her straw cup and eating her snacks from her snack cup, i must say i'm proud of her. some kids older than her still can't manage this. their parents got to do everything for them
8. after break was music time! our favourite part of the class. once again reaffirm my decision to let her carry on with kindermusik. she responded really well and giggle and enjoyed herself. i like the "live band", ie. one teacher played the organ, vs those pre-recorded music lah. since this was already way over her nap time, she did VERY well to giggle and participate. v happy with her
9. after class, put her in the pram, made milk, and she KO even before i could walk out the door
sorry so lor sor

u so so so smart.. yes, i was baking last nite. Hokkaido Milky Loaf. yummy! this time i got it right.
re: baking muffins
it's one of the easiest "cake" u can bake. actually it's more like a quick bread. jus need to mix wet and dry ingredients. spoon into muffin cups and bake.
u can use plain flour or self-raising flour.if self-raising flour, reduce baking powder by half.
i've a latest receipe. Matthew's Raisin Muffins.

pink,
i like you.
v to the point.
i can't pinpoint good or not good.
YE doesn't enjoy it as much as Kindermusik. neither did I. but we agree that it's impt to help her understand the importance of routine and how she's not the boss all the time.
so i'll still put her in out of necessity. but when one day she doesn't wanna go anymore, it's time for me to re-evaluate
my qn to you would be:"why are you sending her there?" then i tell you whether you should go
i sound machiam so hao4 lian4. buay tahan
but that's my point

SQ, I am not professional la. See my viewpoint as a mum.
If it’s from professional view, Kindermusik is slightly better.
1. Before class: Quite okay because all bb were exploring toys (balls, some alphabets) on floormat. Forgot if there was music at background or not. Mummies were chatting while bb were playing.
2. Ice breaker: The class started with introduction & greetings, quite good.
3. Songs: They have quite a number of rhymes and songs, not bad. Interesting lyrics.
4. I also find that giving each bb a chance to touch at jellyfish is not so interesting. Not all bb like it and its kind of a waste of time. Imagine that we have 10 bb inside the class, then 5 sec each, and will be about one minute in order to finish the activity. Each bb has only 5 sec, and of course they will tend to defocus and make noise. Somemore, it took quite a long time before the teacher took out the jellyfish, jams, etc.
5. Cereal activity: This is not good. All babies just wanted to eat them instead of pasting them on the paper. Somemore, its not age appropriate for them though the highlight was to let bb peel away the doublesided tape.
6. Action activities with bb: No comment on this because I find them ok. Most bb like actions and its quite fast.
7. Story telling: Failed badly.
8. A-Z flashcards + songs: Songs ok, but teacher asked bb (with mum’s help) to match the cards with those on the wall. Quite ridiculous cause it’s again not age appropriate.
9. Break time: BEST time cause tian and ethan busy eating biscuits and drinking water from the same type of strawcups.
Pincer grips are not a problem to them at all. (see, the cereal activity failed in point 5).
10. Yes the theme was J. some reinforcement was there as repetition of J related items were mentioned in a few activities.
So overall GUG class tries to squeeze everything into a single lesson, which has no focus of learning. Therefore, it might be too tiring for our bb at this stage.

hahhaa yeh im a lazy person, i hate meetings and discussions - mostly waste of time, i will fall asleep so i rather they tell me, yes/no, good/bad.....then i decide.
hmm..why i send her there? personally, i just want my bb to socialise and enjoy herself at this stage, if she grasp anything from the lessons, that's a bonus.
i should be getting the left kitchen set

i do feel that some of the GUG activities are ridiculously inappropriate for 12mths bb, esp the matching of cards on the wall. SO even if i want to sign up, that would be after 18mths.
guess i'd made up my mind, just a nearby small playgroup should be good enough for the time being... hahha i called the dou dou class up and the organiser said Im over gancheong, she's not even 18mths yet

i think the jam + cracker's activity sounds good (SQ) but we din have it during our lesson last week (astro, last week nia). the cereal activity hm..
Dlim will have the same comment as me.. not so good right?
haha! its hard to please all paretns bah.
ok.. maybe ask us this.
if our bb like to paste cereal on paper, we can also do it at home, right?
