The little things

The little things like these made me glad that Idhamu-san and I chose Waseda Kindergarten.

1. Daily activities of the kids will be posted at the school entrance for the viewing pleasure of the parents when they come to pick up their kids from school.





2.Reina's teacher made his first official home visit armed with a translated text of what he wanted to convey (it is obligatory for teachers to make at least one official home visit to each of his/her student's home in a fiscal year. And NONE of Neesa's teacher, all of whom can barely speak English, thought of doing this). FYI he also used his smartphone to translate all my questions (as well as his answers!) during our 10-minute meeting. A for your effort, Sensei~!

You go girl~!

Just barely a week in school, Reina chan has shown tremendous progress. Not only has she started to pick up Japanese language (she was heard uttering some easy Japanese words constructed in what-sounded-like-Japanese-to-others sentences) but she has also started to appear more independent. She no longer protested to the idea of walking to and fro school while carrying her own school bag, and happily prepares herself for school. Our 'adek manja' has become noticeably independent. Good progress!











I'm a happy mom.
