1st lesson @ MMI

Today is my 1st lesson @ Kovan MMI. All my classmates attended 2 lessons before me. Never mind, I believe I can catch up

The lesson started off with 1/2 hr of Chinese lesson. Zhang Lao Shi is from China. She taught us to sing and dance in Chinese song followed by showing us pictures and words on body parts and animals. Only 1 girl sat down to listen to Zhang Lao Shi. The rest of us either wondered around or played with the educational toys in the classroom. I was no exception. Mummy was annoyed because I was distracted by those who played with the toys. I wanna play with the toys too. Also I knew the body parts and animals already.

For English lesson, we started by singing and dancing. After that teacher showed us apple, banana and orange and taught us the color of these fruits. I knew all these long long time ago. Boring. So I kept quiet. Teacher thought I don't know them and asked mummy to teach me these at home. Teacher gave us picture of apple, banana and orange to color with crayon.

The last thing we learned was phonic. We learned q, r, j and v today. Oh no, I must have missed out some other alphabets taught 2 lessons ago.

The queen is waiting quietly qoo qoo qoo Qoo is the sound I hear
The rat is running reh reh reh Reh is the sound I hear
Jelly bean is jumping jer jer jer. Jer is the sound I hear
Vocano is violent vo vo vo Vo is the sound I hear

Teacher gave us a card with sand paper cut in the shape of the 4 alphabets to trace. At the end of it, teacher tested every tod by saying the sound of 1 of the 4 alphabets to each tod. We have to pick up the card with the alphabet that the teacher read. Teacher tested me Jer. I picked J. Bingo! See mummy you thought I wasn't listening.

Our lesson ended with free play

Overall the lesson was ok. Mummy was unhappy that the class size was big 9 tods to a teacher. She feels that BJG's lesson is more enriching and all rounded as compared to MMI. She is quite disappointed with MMI, behind her expectation.
