Kaikai went for his first Baby Jumper Gym class this morning. This morning we have to spend spme time waking up KaiKai for his first class which started at 9am (Kaikai slept at 1pm the night before). Mommy told Kaikai “time to go school” .Kaikai has a beautiful picture of what school was (mommy has been brainwashing Kaikai since weeks ago, hopefully KaiKai will love going to school). Who knows, this little boy said 不要. After trying a few times, finally Kaikai was awake and immediately he looked for 妹妹.After feeding, washing and changing, Papa drove mommy, Kaikai and Xuanxuan to Baby Jumper Gym located at HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok Clubhouse.
Today’s topic was “School”. Kaikai was familiar with this topic。
1 So Kaikai read happily with the teacher and “read” loudly when teacher read those words his was familiar with. When he saw familiar items such as colour pencils, crayons, he would said “画画, drawing”; when his saw school bag, he would read “bag”, followed by “一样，一样” because he has one at home.
2 When one kid threw plastic clip on the floor, Kaikai picked it up and gave the teacher. Teacher said “Thank you”. Kaikai was so happy and proud. Yes, he was proud. He turned and looked at me with a big smile, then run to hug me.
3 Kaikai would queue up to collect things from teacher. Sometime when he waited too long since teacher attended to other children first, he would look at mommy and want to come back (he thot teacher forget him). But mommy would signal to him and ask him to wait. Finally, Kaikai collected his item, he would run to mommy with a smile again.
Next was Science session, Kaikai was introduced the term “absorption”. Every child was given some tools to play with.
Finally was the “Gym” session where all children were brought to the indoor playground. Kaikai love this most, he was able to recognize the route to this room independently. After the session, we even stayed for another 20 mins for Kaikai to play around.
As this was the first class, it may be too early for me to conclude. But my comment was, Kaikai might not learnt much academically, but, he learnt to socialize, queue up, follow instruction and it helped to develop his courage and teach him to be independent. Mommy was there to watch and guide him along. Hopefully by the time he joined playgroup and all on his own, his would be able to adjust better and faster.
