Hard Work Paid Off

First quarter of school term had passed. Tapos na ang bayaran ng tuition fee, iba’t ibang tuition fee, iba’t ibang membership fees, etc. at ang quarter exams. I felt so relieved after  the exams week. The week before was so stressful for me. Dati, si Nikki lang ang nire-review ko. Ngayon, pati si Calli. Oh em gee!

I’m so happy naman that all my kids’ and my hardwork paid off. Thank you Lord! Look naman oh –

Saan pa magmamana ‘yang mga yan?! #alamna!

Nikki’s always been like that – parang mahirap um-absorb ng information, parang slow-slow-han minsan – kaya naman naha-highblood ako e. Hindi kasi nagre-react minsan ‘pag nagre-review kami that’s why I couldn’t tell if getchung niya or not. But she never fails to surprise me. Consistent honor student ‘yan sa six schools na pinasukan niya since Nursery.

I was more worried with Calli. This is her first time in school. She didn’t know anything but the colors. She knew how tho sing the ABC song but couldn’t identify the letters. She knew only circle and heart among all shapes. She spoke in and understood only the Filipino language. Konting English words, konting Ilocano words. That’s it.

Hindi kasi ako nag-effort na turuan siya the summer before she started school this year. Tamad-tamaran ako kasi nga buntis pa ako nun (I know, I know, lame excuse). Tsaka sai nga buntis pa ako nun (I know, I know, lame excuse). Tsaka sabi naman ni Elmer to not force her to learn things k kasi three years old lang naman siya. Bakit kami daw ba nung three years old kami nasa school na kami? Hindi daw, busyng busy pa lang daw kami sa paglalaro nun (both Elmer and I started going to school at the age of six). May point naman siya. E look at us naman, smart-smartan naman kami. Naks! Walang kokontra! Haha!

Going back to Calli, some of her classmates attended Nursery, that’s why medyo may alam na sila. Si Calli, I’d say, next to zero knowledge siya talaga. That’s why I was surprised with all her test results.

On the report card-giving day, each parent had one-on-one session with the teacher.

Teacher Chloe’s comments on Nikki:

-Hindi masyadong sociable.

-Hindi pala-recite.

-Pero sa written activities “bumibira”.

-Opposite ng kapatid niya (Calli) na aggressive.

 

Natawa naman ako na kilala si Calli ni Teacher Chloe a as one “aggressive” student.

Teacher Pen’s comments on Calli:

-Very charming at friendly.

-Medyo kinailangan ng guide nung una, pero nakakasunod na ngayon.

-Kapag may ginawa ang classmate infront of the class (like recite, sing), gusto niya, siya din.

-Pagkatapos ng play time or book activity, lalapit siya kay teacher para tumulong mag-ayos ng toys or books.

I wonder kung anong mga “ideas” ang shine-share niya. Hmmm…

Nakakaaliw at nakakabaliw talaga ang mga anak ko. I’m one proud momma! I wonder how Trace is going to be ‘pag nag-i-school na siya.

Hosha.
