I am happy that in the end I decided to put Caden in the mandarin class. I remember that I was quite reluctant about it and wonder if Caden need the exposure in such young age. But now, I can tell that he learn quite a lot from the two times a week mandarin classes that he enjoys so much.He knows that grapes is pu tao and apple is ping quo, etc. I just hope that this classes give him a good head start when the mandarin is really use in preschool.
Although he still not fluent in speaking, he now able to follow a few simple words. Just like in the photos above, each child is called to actually stand (or sit on the teacher's lap) in front of the class and say, "Good Morning, friends. My name is Caden." and for the older ones, they are suppose to say more, such as, "I am wearing a yellow t-shirt today."
This week is a great improvement for Caden. Usually he would just keep quiet and smile while standing in front of the class, but today, he can say almost all words loudly, without hesitation, one by one. So the teacher would say, "good" (in Chinese of course), and Caden would follow, etc.
As Caden is the youngest one in the class (almost all are 2 years old and above), all the mommies and aunties were smiling and cheering for him afterwards. Of couse, nothing would compare the big smile on mommy's face! ^_^
It's clean up time! All of us have to help to clean up the toys in respective box (trucks in one box, books in the other ones, etc). Then we have to help to bring it to the rack as well, while we sing the clean up songs of course.
