Last Feb pinasok ko sya sa tutorial sa school niya ngayon dun umiyak sya nung lumabas ako ng class room and then kinausap lang sya ng teacher niya tapos nakinig naman. Tas ang kwento ng teacher niya lumalabas sya ng classroom tapos hinahanap niya kame. mga one week syang ganun.

Ngayon first day ng regular school niya, maswerte ako di na ako nagkaproblem sa separation anxiety kasi pagdating namin sa school busy sa sa paghanap kung saan sya uupo. Nung nag babye ako nagbbye sya sabay sabi "see you mommy"

Today was the first day of my nephew. I'm happy that he didn't give tantrums or cry.
He was actually very excited to go to school! We just arrived home and he can't stop talking about his subjects

Yesterday was my daughter's first day at school. I just prepared a really light snack for her, kasi parang hi hello day pa lang naman. 

As I expected, wala kaming crying moments. When she had her summer school session kasi last year, kahit sa first day niya dun di naman sya umiyak, so I already anticipated na magiging ok naman ang first day ng daily schooling na niya. She was really excited pa nga.  Ako ang medyo na-overwhelm kasi ang dami nilang students. But I kinda expected that na din kasi local day care center yon.

I decided not to enroll her for regular school yet sa big school kasi 1.) I still wanted to give her more time to 'enjoy' the idea of going to school, without being pressured with academics. 2.) Hindi pa kaya ng aming budget for this year ang tuition fee sa aming prospective school. Hubby kasi wanted to put her in a school na pag-aaralan na niya 'til highschool kasi iba nga naman pag nakapag-establish ka na ng friendships dun saka comfortable and secure ka na sa school, mas nagthrive ang bata.

So far so good naman, she's still excited to go to school, at nauuna pa magising sa kin. hehe. Sana laging ganon.

Last Monday was my son's 1st day at his new school. He was really excited about it and I went with him just to see how the system works regarding drop off and pick up of students. Yesterday he rode the bus by himself na without me. I'm so proud of him, just 4 years old and already so brave.

Miggy's first day was last Wednesday. His dad came with him tutal 7:45-9am lang naman ang classes.
His dad kept sending me pictures. Di pa siya agad nakikipaglaro sa classmates, ganun kasi yun eh - parang diesel.

The next 2 days, I came with him na. Buti na lang pinayagan ako ng boss ko to work from home and work ng CEST.
Nung una, ayaw niyang mawala kami sa paningin niya so andun lang kami until maging comfortable na siya sa kids. Mabuti na lang the school is really strict kaya nakikita ng anak ko na wala namang parents na kasama yung ibang kids.
I went inside just to give his personal items sa teacher niya then I told him I'm going to wait for him outside because I wouldn't fit sa chair. Sabe niya "Ok, go!".
Come friday, binaba ko lang siya sa gate tapos nag-goodbye na ako. Sabe ko I'll wait for him at the waiting area but I'll be the one to pick him up. He never seemed frightened so I'll take it as a good sign.

His yaya still goes with him sa school pero binababa lang siya sa gate. Masyado lang protective kaming mag-asawa kaya hindi kami mapapanatag na walang yaya kahit naka-school bus siya.

Ok naman na kami sa umaga. Si daddy niya taga-gising sa kanya while I prepare his breakfast.
This saturday nga when we went out sabi niya pupunta pa rin siya ng school kaya uniform daw isuot ko.
Mukhang eager-beaver naman itong anak ko.

@Mommy France, kakatuwa naman anak mo. Eagerness is there and excitement too.

Last week Wednesday is also Rexelle'a first day of class. Glad to be there on her first day kasi parang ako yung natatakot talaga. In how she does pag nasa school. And how she will start making friends. Nakakatuwa rin kasi hindi talaga ako lumalabas ng classroom nila kahit si teacher sige sabi samin mga parents na iwan na mga kids. Then as Rexelle told me "Mommy sunduin mo ako ah". Ayun parang naisip ko na she can handle herself na kaya naiwanan ko rin.

From almost one week sa school, kita ko naman mga output niya. She received stars sa seatwork at workbook niya. Glad that my mom is there kasi wala talaga maghatid at sundo sa kanya. Her classes starts at 10am and ends at 1pm.

Then nakwento ni mama na nasabihan si Rexelle ng isang classmate niya na bulol. Sobrang nalungkot ako kasi parang baby pa kasi yung anak ko though 4.5 years old na. Walang kamalay malay sa mga ganun. Then hubby and I assess her parang inobserve namin. Hindi sya bulol kasi she talk words clearly. And problem niya is constructing sentences. Medyo barok lang talaga...

Ako talaga yung hindi pa ready pero sabi nga ni hubby let Rexelle do on her own way. Which is tama naman and I should look over na lang her performance sa class and to keep remind her need to do while at school. Tutal almost three weeks nalang, SAHM na ulit ako.

Sa school ng anak ko, dapat daw by appointment yung meeting sa teacher. So hindi ako pwedeng basta na lang pumunta to talk about my son's behavior.

Kayo ba na-check na ninyo sa teacher yung behavior ng anak ninyo sa school?
Miggy kasi is not that good with describing yet. So when we ask him how school was, di pa talaga descriptive.

Tomorrow may meeting lahat ng magulang ng preschool (nursery to grade 2 sa school ng anak ko) to re-orient daw the parents. Baka ma-ambush ko yung teacher ng anak ko pag nakasalubong ko. Pero informal lang. Para makita ko lang kung anong "first impression" niya sa anak ko, yung tipong isasagot niya pag sinabi kong "Ako nga pala yung mommy ni miggy'. wag naman sanang "ah.. yung batang pasaway?" hehe

Ano din pala grading system ng preschooler ninyo? Numerical or descriptive?

[iamkiara]

^ MOmmy france sa school ni EC since maliit na school lang ito pag uwian pinapatanong ko sa nanay ko yung teacher kung ano yung activity nila that day and kung ano yung ginawa ng anak ko. Pareho kay Miggy hindi pa ganun karunong magkwento si EC. Numerical yung grading system nila pero di ko muna masyado binabahala yung grade niya since ang main reason ko naman kung bakit ko sya pumasok para magkipagsocialize and maimprove yung speech niya.

Yung mga books and notebooks iniiwan sa school every Friday lang pinapauwi, kaya ang ginagawa ko check ko na kung ano yung magiging lesson nila for the week then gumagawa ako ng worksheet niya para mapractice niya yung magiging activity nila for the week. I know kasi hindi niya matatappos yung activity sa school dahil mabilis sya mainip. Paggaling ko sa office meron akong mga print out na magiging activity namin bago sya matulog.

Nakakalungkot lang kasi part pala ng pagpasok sa school yung disadvantage. Like ngayon natuto sya mandila, sabi niya sa Mama ko "Mama, beyat" sabay labas ng dila.
Buti na lang nakita ko yun nung ginawa niya kaya sinabihan ko agad na  wag gagayahin yung classmate niya kasi bad behaviour yun. Nakinig naman yung anak ko nung sinabihan ko sya na wag na uli gagawin yun.

Hello Momsies! Just wanna ask any advice on how i can make my 4-year-old kid leave sa classroom? It's been almost a month now since nag start yun class..  (btw its his 1st time to attend school, kinder na agad).. ayaw niya magpaiwan lagi sya iyak everytime..

[sachism]

ang cute ng mga tots nyo kasi excited to go to school. naku, ang akin, puro NO, AYAW and GO HOME AGAIN ang naririnig ko nung first day. A lot of crying, too. Since 2yo pa lang sya, I normally stay inside the classroom or sa waiting area ng school until she's done with her class.

[swtgrl_bee]

^parehong pareho tayo sis, 2 YO din. Puro negative words. At puro iyakan.

[sachism]

Second day d na sya umiyak pero ayaw pa din sumunod sa teacher. Haha.

[fairytink]

3 kaming kasama ni baby on her first day - ako, si hubby and si yaya (pero di kami masyado excited ha)  So far, so good kasi nag paiwan naman siya sa classroom, di umiyak and nag pa participate naman. Di rin siya masyado makwento pag tinatanong ko siya anong ginawa sa school, minsan nalang na su surprise ako sa mga kanta niya na natututunan from school.

Tulad mo mommy france, wala din akong idea how she's behaving in school. By appointment din kasi ang meeting with the teacher and di pwede mang ambush  Pero aside from that we will be having a one-on-one basis meeting to discuss child's behavior and performance in school. So sa ngayon, sa communication notebook lang kami nag uusap ni teacher, every friday ko lang din nakikita mga worksheets niya.

Mabuti na nga lang din at yung yaya namen concerned sa anak ko kaya nakakamusta niya si Miggy sa teacher niya.
one time nga sabe niya saken "naku, lumapit saken yung teacher ni miggy may sasabihin daw, grabe kinabahan talaga ako. akala ko may ginagawa si miggy, ayun pala yung classmate niya na ka-school bus niya yung may ginagawa. ipapasabi lang saken".

Yung mga ibang classmate kasi ni miggy, walang kasama sa school. talagang school bus lang. pero si miggy, kasama yung yaya niya kahit sa school bus. Ok na rin kasi at least nakakarating yung feedback ng teacher kasi nasasabi niya sa yaya.

Tulad mo mommy france, wala din akong idea how she's behaving in school. By appointment din kasi ang meeting with the teacher and di pwede mang ambush 

Samen din, friday dumating yung worksheets niya. Walang score na 10/10 kasi nga descriptive yung evaluation. So ang makikita ko lang is "good job" "practice at home" at "keep trying".
Mas ok tong approach na to saken kasi hindi ko alam kung ano magiging reaction ko pang numerical at ang score ay 2/10. Ok na saken yung "practice at home". Baka mapasugod ako bigla sa school to defend yung answer ng anak ko.

my son did not cry on his first day at school. He was so excited. On the first week, he was scheduled to have a class with only 4 of his classmates. para daw hindi mabigla. I was with him inside the classroom for only 30 minutes then the teacher signaled the yayas and parents to go out of the room when the kids were engaged in an activity. I was so proud of my 3 1/2 old son. Problem started though on his 2nd day. All his classmates were there already. There were 20 kids all in all for their class. When I was at the door, the teacher said not to go inside anymore because "adjusted' na daw anak ko. Some parents though have to go inside because their kids were crying. My son was overwhelmed and he was quite hesitant to go inside but he did. I thought that he'd be fine kasi d naman umiyak sa first day. Until on the 3rd day, a mother of my son's classmate told me that my son had been crying from the start of the class til the end. I was shocked and thought the mother was just mistaken. But she was right. I was very concerned so I talked to the teacher. The teacher said I should not give up on my son and he'd be able to adjust in time and staying inside the classroom with my son will only make the process longer. After that, though it pains me to leave him, i stayed outside the room and held on to the hope that one day he'd stop crying.Eventually, he cried lesser and lesser and After two weeks, he finally did stop crying and started enjoying class! Just thought I'd share this coz I know it can be difficult for first time moms like me. I know some moms too have had the same prob with me.
