Anders in School
It’s been more than two months since Anders started his school.
We started visiting various schools in the neighborhoods trying to find a suitable one for Anders. He was already 2 years old and started having more energy than he could spend at home and parks for his daily routines. After a few visits, we decided to send him to a Montessori school.
The first day, he was happy to go to school since he didn’t know that Mommy will not stay there with him. I sneaked out. The second day after he realized this important fact, he started crying on the way to school and kept saying that he wanted to go to the library instead of school. The “why” is easy to think of – because Mommy always stayed with him at the library for the play and learn classes. After exact 1 weeks of crying in the morning, surprisingly he stopped all of a sudden and started liking to go to school everyday.
Three weeks after he started in January, it was a Saturday morning and Anders kept bothering me asking for going to school… “Mommy, I want to go to the school!”
Until now, he still likes to go to school every morning and seems to have progresses day by day in different aspects. He now does more activities at school, starts speaking English in sentences, stops pushing other kids, recognizes numbers and letters, picks up lots more meaningful and surprising words in Chinese, sings different songs from the start to the end, runs much faster and steadier and so much more…
We’re glad to see that he’s happy at school.
