So the Maternelle (nursery) part of the school held its first parent-teacher night today. PY and I were model parents, showing up on time and sitting close to front, me with my notebook and pen in hand, ready for some all-important information about what and how our baby daughter is doing at school. She is in Toute Petite Section (for 2-1/2 year and 3 year olds)
Here is what we learned of what she is doing:
8:30 - 8:45 Settling in
8:45 - 9:15 Free play
9:15 - 9:30 Toilet time
9:30 - 9:40 Table activity (stickering, drawing, etc)
9:40 - 10:00 Story time
10:00 - 10:10 Travel up to the English room
10:10 - 10:30 English song and dance and rhymes
10:30 - 10:50 Free play
10:50 - 11:20 Recess (not sure how this differs with Free play)
11:20 Lunch
1:20 - 1:30 Toilet time
1:30 - 3:00 Nap time
3:00 - 3:50 Free play and clean-up
3:50 - 4:20 Recess
4:20 Get ready for "mamans"
4:30 Pick up
Nice life! Not sure why kids cling to their parents at drop-off. I would love a day like this, no?
As to HOW Manolee is doing - well, apparently pretty good for a girl who still mixes English and French. Apparently she is great in the English session, always the first to answer the teacher right away, and apparently, the teacher sees this as providing the other children something to aspire to! Go Baby!
