Yitian attended her very 1st day of playgroup today! Her session is from 9am to 11am. Though it's just 2 hours, at this age she will be picking up social skills and activities that will help her to become a confident, independent girl.
She woke up at 7am this morning, though I would have liked her to sleep more. She was very happy to put on her school uniform and eager to get going.
Her school is aptly named "Little Learners". There are about 14 children in her class. I watched her from the side of the classroom at first and I was very proud that not once did she appear lost or frightened. She just took her time to look around and warming up to the people around her.
After the singing session, the teachers encouraged the children to keep the toys. At this moment, I guess I should thank Barney, the purple dinosaur, as when the teacher started singing "Clean up, clean up", Yitian sprung into action! I could see that Yitian has some leadership qualities in her. Though still new to the class, when she sees her playgroup mates, she readily went up to them and help quietly. That's my girl!
There were singing and drawing activities.
And Yitian's 1st masterpiece is drawn!
