Wan Qi 's first kumon lesson

Brought Wan Qi for her first kumon lesson yesterday. She did two sets of maths booklet in about ten minutes. I thought it will take a long time so I went to shop and safe to shop. When I went back, I was shock to see that the teacher was bringing Wan Qi to the toilet i guess. So I ran to her and asked the teacher if she needs to go to the toilet. The teacher said no she was just looking for me. So I stayed with Wan Qi for a while.

After that the teacher handed Wan Qi a maths symbol magnetic board which Wan Qi is required to put all the magnetic numbers on the board. I tried to ask her what is that number bla bla bla but the teacher said I should not be talking to Wan Qi when she is doing it. They will check on her after she had put all the magnetic nos on the board.

In about ten minutes, the teacher said ok that's the end of her lesson. I was like hah so fast. And the sad thing is the teacher told me Wan Qi is not familiar with her nos 6 - 10 when being asked randomly. Funny though cos I know Wan Qi is weak in her recognition of the nos but I thought not so bad lei. Ai yo I prayed that her maths will not be so telok like mine. In fact, after i brought her to kumon that day, feel so lousy about it. All my fault for neglecting it cos i thought its no good to memorise the nos when she was younger. I realise i am wrong lei. Now i think being able to chant the nos is actually good then slowly introduce the concept will be a better option. It's painful to have to look on the hind side to realise this but I guess it's not too late la. Hee hee self comforting. Really hope her maths will be as good as her dad. I can remember how I perspire when I did my test in kindergarten. I was perspiring a lot cos I didnt know how to do sequencing. See I cam still remember it vividly, thats why I do not wish to let Wan Qi follow my footstep. No kidding. After I graduated from my jc and university, I still dream of forgetting to memorise A maths formulas before the o level exam. Can you believe it? And here I am didnt focus on Maths when Wan Qi was younger. Really must 撞墙。

Kumon required students to sit down on their own and do their booklet without parents' help so they really have to be self learner which i think it's very important thus chosen kumon as Wan Qi 's enrichment.

In fact, there was an 2 and a half years old indian girl who is very independent, she will just sit on stacks of chairs to do her kumon booklet. A very independent learner. When Wan Qi is younger, she is also like that. But now I realise she doesnt. She will write a few words and run off doing other things.Gosh I think it's all my fault. I am being too lazy to reinforce it and hence the good habit is not inculcated. :(
