Chloe settled nicely into her new school this time. No crying goodbyes.. no waving till the classroom door is closed, no asking why i didn’t go pick her up from school and after just 1 hug each.. she didn’t even look back when we closed the door behind us.
On Monday, her new teachers handed out the worksheets that they worked on that day.. and told PB that they were more and more confused everyday. Confused about what..?? Confused that Chloe’s old teacher/s didn’t think that Chloe was ready or that she needed special help – with speech and other aspect. As far as her new teachers can see, they felt that Chloe could understand them.. and them her.
But having said that, I am really glad we pulled her out of grade primary because I was reading another blogger’s blog.. and her daughter is a few months older than Chloe.. yet she is still in Kindergarten .. but she can write full sentences already.. because she had been in a child care that nurtures the kids and prepares them for Primary School in North Carolina.
So for those in Canada, I just hope you take note that Pre-school does play a very important part in preparing your kid for real school. Even if your spouse did not go for pre-school when he was a kid.. nor his cousins or brothers and sisters.. please note that we are in a different time now. I wished i had done it differently but better late than never right.
