classes in the big school started last june 10. i went with her to school on the first day and parents/guardians were allowed to bring them to the classroom.
xia was really excited on her first day - so was I! :) we went early to make sure she got warmed up before the class started. it allowed me to take more pictures too :)
kuya matt brought her to school too as his classes start next week.
we met up with nathan (xia's carpool mate and classmate at abba's) inside the campus while waiting for their class to start.
the kids were allowed entry into the classroom 15mins before the actual start of class. i made a lot of bilins while we were queuing: be a good girl, make a lot of friends, listen to teachers and follow their instructions, etc. she just kept nodding but not sure if she was listening because she was more excited to see her classroom and meet her teachers and classmates.
we were 4th in the queue and were greeted by teacher donna. xia said goodbye to me from the door but teacher noticed that i was taking pictures of xia so she allowed me to go inside.
teacher told xia to choose her seat. the other 3 ahead of her took the seat at the sides (the seats were in U shape) - but being the stariray kid that she is, she took the first row at the center :)
there were some drama of kids not wanting their parents to leave them behind but i wasn't concerned at all with xia. she was about 3 when she first started schooling and she just turned her back on me on her first ever school day. what more now when she's about to turn 5 and on her 3rd year in school. it was easy-peasy for her!!! she made me so proud of her again!!!
we picked her up after school and i was so excited to know how the day went for her. her school for 2 years being a montessori school was a lot different from a traditional one. so i knew there will be adjustments to the new method and the new environment...
alas, she enjoyed her first day and gave me big hug and sweet kiss when she saw me by the door of her classroom! she said she made 2 friends :)
she went home with her diary and this made me feel pressured.
this means that i have to manage my time well so i can attend to her homework. this is something new to us so we need to work together on this.
did not go with her anymore on the 2nd day. kayang-kaya na ng anak ko eh na wala ako ;) she had more fun because of her PE time!!! when i asked her if she wanted to go back to abba's she said no because she loves her new big school :)
i'm quite relieved! it's the real world now for me and xia and we will conquer this together!!! ☺☺☺
bring it on, big school!!!
