The previous night, Zann didn’t tell me anything except the hitting part. Not painful. And I didn’t think much either.
Today morning, I was informed by the principal what has happened. I was sad, though.
Thank GOD the boys didn’t do anything further.
Teacher Fern and the principal had informed the boys’ parents of what they had done to Zann. I had a long talk with the principal.
The first traumatised experience at the previous school was enough.
I know being bullied is part of the growing period. I want Zann to speak up for herself and retaliate. By knowing how to say NO and Stop.
Last week, I started Zann on the S sound. Sound in isolation is the first step on the speech ladder. Sound is practiced on its own without a vowel attached. She didn’t get all of them right, so I have to keep on trying.
I am still thinking on how to make this learning process more interesting.
This evening, we continued our craft session with this.
Zann was practicing her cutting skill. She drew the shapes by herself. With all the different cut-out shapes, she was ready to create a big paper ‘doll’ .
The girl was in the mood to draw. She added eyelashes and blush, and the small circle inside the dress is her ‘big big stomach’.
Last week, Zann was taught on writing her chinese name and the word 木. Back home, she managed to write one of her chinese name, 恩, but with one missing stroke.
Today I started Zann on her home learning activity. It has been a long time since we did work in the evenings. She was happy doing the dough play when I told her to follow the alphabets food chart.
She has to recognise what the pictures are and pronounce the words after me, and match to the correct alphabets.
Finished fast with three mistakes. H, F and P were matched with wrong pictures.
Busy kneading the dough I have prepared. She was so afraid of not having enough dough so she didn’t want me to do it with her.
Okay the nicer ones were done by me. Zann allowed me to access to three colors only. She was more keen to make butterflies and balls instead. We will do this again tomorrow.
