Report Card 学校报告卡

I think the pre-schools nowadays have much better teacher parent communication. Han Jin goes to a mid-tier pre-school, hence, it is sort of expected that there is teacher parent conference, and I wasn't very surprised when the teacher sends out weekly update every Sunday night (see, we are taking it for granted, i.e. we are used to people working during non-working hours), or when there is regular updates on the Shutterfly sites that the class teacher has created. However, Mei goes to a playgroup at the RC center downstairs, which is probably at the very grassroots level, and I am surprised when there is also a report card, completed with the handcraft that she has done during the past 3 months.

Well, since we have just received the report cards for both kids within the last week, let's have a look of what they have done.

瀚今瀚月最近收到学校年中报告卡，来看看他们的表现。

Mei's art work as follows: Frankly speaking, I am more convinced that the coloring of the yacht is the original work of Mei. All other pieces probably involve varying degree of 'hands-on' guidance from the teacher.. :) However, I am very proud of the fact that my girl is doing well with a class of kids who are one year older than her in general.

瀚月的手工，我相信那个帆船绝对100% 是妹妹的原创。。。其他的嘛，或多或少都有老师的帮助。妈妈还是很骄傲的，我的还不到两周岁的宝贝。

Han Jin's work is definitely more impressive. Each half year, the assessment starts with a self portrait. Here is a series that he did in the past two years, from a barely recognisable scratch of face, to a candid smiling boy with Mr Sunshine, clouds, grass and flowers.

瀚今画的自己，从两年前还不是太容易辨认的一张脸到现在清楚的线条和布景。

瀚今做的手工书，描述一家人回中国的事情。Teacher commented that Han Jin was absent from school for too long this year. Indeed, he had the fall and fracture (1.5 months), home trip (2 weeks), chickenpox (nearly 2 weeks) and other minor flues etc over the last 6 months. Pray for my family... Health and Happiness....
