TT- Tackling Papers

Now that the exams are over it is time to spring clean my desk at work. It feels so good throwing away dated circulars and schedules. Filing up the loose pieces which I need to keep neatly filed up for further use or referrence. My desk is so much neater and it really looks great to have decluttered.

At home I also cleared out the boy’s study sheleve and junked all their classwork which I deemed not neccesary to keep. Nowadays I just snap pictures of their classwork to put on their blog(an this one) instead of keeping the hardcopy. Each term they come back with one huge stack of worksheets and booklets which they have made in class. At the rate they are going I would have run out of shelve space when they enter elementary school.

What have you been tackling lately?

As the year is coming to an end I can’t help thinking about Ryan and that he will be in K2 (Kindergarten 2) next year. 2010 will be the year that we will be registering him for Primary One . I have already decided on which school to place him in and that is less one hassle for me.
My students just finished their end of year examinations and I had the opportunity to look at the Primary 1 papers. It seems that Ryan is up to par in the preparation for transition from Kindergarten to Elementary school. I just need to give him more practice in Mathematics.

I also took a look at the Secondary school selection which was given out to the Primary Six students. Scanning through the various pages which listed the achievements of the different secondary school it got met thinking about what I will have to do after the kids enter primary school.

The emphasis nowadays is on a holistic environment and overall development of the child. I intend to let Ryan and Roy try out all the different sports they are interested in and then choose a sport or two to master.

Do you also plan ahead?
