Met up with Alycia's class teacher today. On the overall, Alycia has improved, especially in her social interaction skills. When she first joined the class, she was very reserved and quiet and hardly spoke a word. Though she's still on the quiet side and seldom participates in group activities, she has nevertheless learnt to mingle around with her classmates and asked her teachers questions too.
Academically, she is still lagging behind her peers as she has only attended class less than 3 months this year. Most of her peers started preschool at age 2 and Alycia is the youngest in the class being a December child. We pulled her out from school in February when she kept falling sick. She only resumed school in early September and did not consistently go to school as she also fell ill within these 2.5 months. She still cannot write the letters of the alphabet and numbers on her own without the help of dotted lines and she still can't read a book independently. Nevertheless, she can recognize almost all the letters of the alphabet (capital and small letters) and numbers from 1 through 10. She really needs some catching up.

Alycia is doing quite well since she attended kindy in such a short period..she is smart..sure can catch up...
I think Ally is doing well too.. for someone her age.. and the fact that she didn't get to fully attend school.. like her peers. I think .. in Asia.. the pressure to conform is so great.. where education is concerned.. therefore.. when i think of coming home permanently.. i worry for the brat.. and her education..! i doubt seriously we can cope with the competition.
