I'd put a note in Calix's handbook yesterday to ask Ms. Chan to call me.  She called me this afternoon.
Ms. Chan said they'll do the grouping only next week.  There should be 3 groups and the kids will be divided into different groups after doing some activities.

There are 3 tables now, 1 is near the door, the other one is near the TV and there's also 1 near the notice board on the left side of the classroom.  Calix is sitting at the table near the door.  Lo Yee Fun and Aton Lee (Lee xxx Him) are sitting on the left and right sides of Calix.

Ms. Chan said Calix does not speak much in class and he seems loving to play with Lo Yee Fun who is a quiet and small girl also.

She also said 莊富淳 is sitting at the same table also.  Calix likes her too and always smiles to her and watches her talking with others.

Ms. Chan said they'll do some colouring works next week.  She hasn't yet taught them how to hold pens...yet just had reminded the kids the correct posture of holding crayons occasionally.

Sep/Oct birthday party will be held in end Oct.  There won't be any theme like Halloween.  Yet kids can dress up also to make some fun.

Parent meeting will be held in mid Oct.

Uniform's size change can be done in Nov.  She suggested to have 2 sets of sport uniform as kids are allowed to wear sport uniform when temperature is below 16 degree celsius.

We can buy the grey cardigan by ourselves if needed.

She suggested me not to take Calix to school on birthday party date if I want to talk to her as many parents will go and she'll have no/little time to chat with us.

Ms. Chan will teach the kids how to recognize the Chinese words first before teaching them 配詞, e.g. she has taught "口" first and 配詞 such as 窗口，門口 at a later stage.

She confirmed that Calix knows how to VV by himself in school. 


Ms. Chan is really very nice and patient in answering your queries.  So you can leave a message to her also if you want to talk to her.

Hi Calix's Mom, My son is Alton and I think he takes the same school bus and sits next to your son.  I bring my son to school once or twice a week.  Ms. Chan and Ms. Lam are so nice to talk and answer my questions.

My son said Ms. Chan asked them to color flowers in P6. Not sure if it's true.

Hi Alton's mom, I'm so glad to see you here coz Calix always mentions Alton's name at home!  Calix told me on his 1st school day that Alton had given him a small cup cake but I don't know whether it's true or not.  Anyway, thanks a lot if that's true.

Does Alton take the Brown B bus also?  We live at Whampoa Garden.  What about you?

Ms. Chan told me that Alton is sitting next to Calix.  She also said Alton is very sociable coz he's got many friends around him in the classroom.  So if you take Alton to school next time, can you pls help me to see how's Calix at school?  Thanks.

Ms. Chan just called me to clarify the details of the uniform order (coz I'd written some notes on the order form).  I was a bit worried when I saw the caller no. display on my phone coz I didn't expect she'll call me during school time.

As said before, I want to buy 1 more set of sport uniform for Calix since kids are allowed to wear sport uniform when it's below 16 degree celsius.  Ms. Chan said sport uniform will only be available in mid Nov and asked me to put a cheque inside Calix's school bag during mid Nov so that she can order for us.

YanyanMom

Me too... I'm afraid the teacher suddenly call me when my kid is still in the school...

Hi Calix's mom, Alton told me he gave a cup cake to a schoolmate on the first day and now I know that's Calix. I asked him if he gave snack to others the second school day but he told me Ms. Chan said not to share the snack.

Yes, Alton takes the Brown bus and we live in Whampoa Garden too. Alton gets on the bus at Cafe Coral. How about you? I know there are 2 or 3 stops in Whampoa. Will you pick up Calix from schoolbus everyday? See if we have a chance to meet at one of the stops as I pick up Alton sometimes.

Ms. Chan also told me that Alton is so "HAPPY" in the class. I worry he is TOO talkative and will get complaints in the near future. Alton always mentions 鄧嘉熙,莊富純, So Ching Kiu and Nichlas at home and I know he always talks to So Ching Kiu.  She takes Brown bus as well and Alton said she lives in To Kwa Wan.

I dropped Alton around 4-5 times so far but I only saw Calix once as the Brown bus is ususally late. I called the school bus section and they said the traffic is busy in Sep, see if the bus will arrive earlier in Oct.

Hi k1H mamas,

Did your kids finish colouring flowers on P.6? 富淳 was upset today as somebody told her that her colourings are not nice, what about your kids?
BTW, thanks for Thundermui and Camom's info in the school life in K1H:)

HappyJolly

Is Alton's Chinese name
Lee Cheuk Kiu?

yanjoyce

Dear all,

Joyce is fine, but still have a little bit cough.  Ms Chan didn't phone me to pick up her on last Friday.
When Joyce was back home from school this morning, she told me the kids went to slide in the playground and she also said the slide is like a castle.  
Then I asked her what did u do then.  She sang a song......Good Bye Good Bye to my dear Ms. Chan Good Bye Good Bye to my dear Ms. Chan......also w her body motion (waving her hands)......so funny

Nothing special today except Calix got his pants wet at school...sometimes I really wonder whether he knows how to VV by taking out from his pants coz he's never done that at home and looks very resistant to do that too.

Caiix didn't sing but recite the "Good Morning" to me:

Good morning good morning my dear teacher
Good morning good morning my dear friends

Hi HappyJolly,

Tell 富淳 not to be upset because of the coluoring.  You know, Ms. Chan also said Calix seems to be poor in colouring.  I believe that Calix's colouring works should be the worst in class, haha...

Hi Alton mom,

When I tell Calix that I know Alton's mom from the internet, he seemed to be excited and happy.  I mentioned "So Ching Kiu" to him but he said she's "So Wing Kiu".

Calix gets on the school bus at Phase 4's station (i.e. opposite to Pizza Hut).  This morning I saw a boy sitting near the window of the left hand side looked at Calix when the school bus arrived.  Don't know if that will be Alton or not.  

I send/pick up Calix at the school bus stop every day.  You're right that we can meet next time when you're there.

HappyJolly

To Calix's mummy,

Thx for your feedback.
Today富淳also talks about apple and watermelon group. I am not sure whether she makes it up or not?

Ms. Chan said they'll do the grouping this week.  I'd asked Calix which group he belongs to and he said "1H"!  

I read from other thread that KV has some exercises.  I tried to ask Calix about that before sleep and he told me that's 快樂的一操.  He'd showed me the movement...basically, it's simple warm up exercises including 踏腳，踢腿，轉膊頭，轉頸等等.

Also, Calix mentioned "nose" (English) in the afternoon and therefore I guess they'd learnt "鼻" today.  Therefore I took out the Chinese cards of week 3 and showed to Calix tonite.  I'm right that they'd learnt  "鼻" today as he can recognize this word.

cassidy told me they learned 中國國旗today.. ms chan taught them about that
and about the tick and cross... cassidy finally told me is taught by ms lam... when they learn colors... for example.. ms lam will take out 1 thing with colors... and she'll ask.. is that red? if not.. they'll do the cross sign... and if yes.. they'll do the tick sign

Yes, Calix said Ms. Chan told them about 中國國旗 too.  Calix said they need to stand up straightly with two hands put aside when seeing the China flag.  He asked me to stand straight with him too.  Then I sang the national song...he was very excited and sang "前進，前進，前進進" (in Mandarin!) loudly with me.  So amazing!

Calix also said Ms. Chan had taught them letter "C" which is for "a car".

When I picked up Calix from the school bus this afternoon, a girl waved goodbye to us and Calix said she's So Wing Kiu.  She has a long hair tied up at the back.

Calix said Chloe Tang gave him some toys in the classroom today.  Yet I don't know why he spelt "Ko Chloe Tang" to me.  Yanyanmom, did Calix refer to your daughter?  If so, is Chloe's surname Tang or Ko?

I saw Ms. Chan had marked a red star next to the stickers on p. 5 and the flowers on p.6 today.  I'd checked that the rest of the stickers had been done in class already last week and therefore I asked Calix if they needed to do the work on p.14 and he said yes.  So I had done the connecting line work with Calix this afternoon.

Calix could recite the rhyme on p.4 too with movement.

Calix mentioned a boy's name "Nathan" today too...

I saw the girl's name 蘇靖蕎 on the table near the door when I dropped Alton the week before last week.

Alton sat on the right side of the schoolbus yesterday.  When I woke Alton up this morning, I told him Calix will get on the bus at the next stop in Whampoa, he opened his eyes immediately and said "Let me see if I can see him".

Tonite Calix pointed at the table and said "Lo Yee Fun...Alton Lee...莊富淳....Chloe...Javon Wong (a new name and Calix spelt to me)..."  Don't know if those are the kids sitting at the same table now?

HappyJolly

To Calix's mum,

Calix is so smart in telling you all these names.  I have asked富淳 and she told me there is one Dennis and Charles in the class.
She still cannot recall who is Calix and Lo Yee Fun. 富淳 is proactive and she likes talking to others.  She feels bored at home.
