Yes, we have parent teacher meetings for toddlers in Singapore. I thought I would park my notes here for ease of reference in the future.
June 2026
- She is very friendly. Goes up to teachers for hugs. Likes Jana very much. Always sits together
- Able to tell teacher if she wants to go toilet. Teachers said can let her come to school in underpants
- Able to communicate loudly if the class is doing choral reading. Works well with praise. The more they praise her, the happier she is.
-Hesitant to take the first move when it comes to drawing or writing. Teachers don’t know why. Maybe she is afraid of making mistakes. She will sit still and not budge and start crying. - Can get her to button her T-shirt as a way of developing her fine motor skills
Nov 2026
- Well-liked in class. When someone takes the toy she’s playing with, she knows how to ask for it back nicely. She sometimes also “whines” to another friend and lets her friend help her get the toy back
- her improvement in Chinese may be due to her friends, especially YR, speaking Mandarin to her
- is confident speaking in English and Chinese
- would be good to give her multi-step instructions so that she can be prepared for K1. Right now, she seems to be a loss on what to do when she has to switch from classroom instruction to small group activities
- seems nervous when asked to leap over things. Will be good to get her to practise jumping at playgrounds
- hesitant to write letters and numbers in both languages. Fang Lao Shi said that this could be because she is left-handed, so she cannot use her friends as a reference. Advised to teach my daughter how to form her lettering
- overall, she has improved a lot this semester ;)
