Jeremy's 2nd Meet the Teachers' Session

It was kind of rush for me to hurry back after the Jungle Jamboree wif Jamie. However I was very pleased to hear from Jeremy's Form & Chinese Teachers that he is making very good progress in school despite at times being very petty over trivial matters. Looking at the report, 2 things that I'm glad is that he has improved since Term 1 and has scored well areas like recognition of words and reading. I must give credits to Jamie who has been constantly reading to him since he was young. Having said so, as expected, like Jamie when she was in Nursery, communications naturally is not in Mandarin. Hence, he is weaker in expressing himself during Chinese class. Looking at his overall results, there's still alot of rooms for improvement and I recognise the urgency to strengthen his fine motor skills especially when he's in K1 next year when there's alot of writing to be done. Stress sia!!
Aside all these, both teachers commented that Jeremy is a very bright boy who is able to sit still to focus and concentrates very well during lessons. Although he can be restless when doing work (eg coloring or drawing), but he is exceptionally quiet and very attentive during lessons that do not require any writing or coloring. The chinese teacher even commented that he has strong memory retention & his words recognition is fantastic! I was like "WOW" so all the right brain training that I've been doing wif him indeed showing some +ve results. This is something good although he is weaker/slower in motor skills but at least his concepts and IQ are not compromised.
