School Time #01: First Day at School

It's been a month since Evan entered school, his Pre-K class is on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 to 10 AM. Every morning all students will gather in the Assembly room for a 10 minutes of praise & worship time. Then they will pray together before entering their class. The classroom activity usually started by learning English vocabulary, continue with character development and so on. Before they go home the teacher will ask students to open their lunch box so they can eat together.

On Fridays they usually practice whatever lesson they learn during the week, it can be done either inside or outside the classroom. Once a month they will have a field trip. They also have swimming practice every other week for PE, but it's been temporary canceled due to the rainy season.

These pictures were taken on Jan 14, his first day at school, he did not have his uniform yet. And since it was already in the middle of the school year when we enrolled him, the teacher gave him a chance to adjust with the school activity during his first week.

"This is your bag Evan," said the teacher

He has homework every day, he usually do it after taking a nap. As parents, we have to submit a weekly evaluation card about his progress at home based on the character trait being taught.

"I'm a star!"

As a new student he became a "star student" of the day and the teacher drew a star for him. He was so proud of his "stardom" and specifically told us not to rub it when taken a bath. Later that day he was freaked out because he saw his star faded and asked us to redraw it. He thought his teacher would not let him come to the class again without his star.

  2. it's good that there is a 10-minute "praise and worship" before starting a class. it's what's lacking in most schools of today.
