Shichida

Before we knew it, Tessa has been attending Shichida class for more than 9 months now. She enjoys her Shichida lessons alot, especially all the singing and dancing. Even Teacher Nurul commented that she's a great dancer.

Last Saturday, I was with her in Shichida class (Daddy's away in Tianjin on business, otherwise he's her resident Shichida partner). I was pleasantly surprised that she can perform her linking memory with perfection. She knows all her shapes and the vegetables. And when learning a new song, she observes carefully all the words and actions, before practising quietly then performs confidently. That's how she learnt the actions to the Skidarink song - pointing to her eyes, crossing her arms in front of her chest and pointing her fingers at you while verbalising "I love you".

However, she does not show much interest in phonics, the alphabets and numbers. We really must work hard to drill those into her soon.

Nevertheless, it is very gratifying to see her enjoying herself in class and knowing that all the time and efforts we've put in are all worthwhile.
