Summer flew by with a lot of catching up on reading, and more reading: Famous Men of Rome, Hardy Boys series, etc. We also did bits of lessons on Fil and more or less a month of Kor language learning and at the same time, deciding on the primary school to attend this coming school year.
P took the entrance exam and passed it with flying colors, after which is the reading assessment and enrollment. We were given a short list of school supplies to prepare for the incoming school year.
The List included:
9 notebooks (to be changed every grading period)
2 G1 pad paper
1 eraser
1 pencil sharpener
2 pencils (specifically Mongol according to the list)
1 roll of tissue
2 pcs. 1x1 ID photos for their ID
June comes by and off to a good start upon attending the first flag-raising ceremony for the school year. Since he's a transferee student, he doesn't have any uniform yet. Luckily, quite a number of other classmates were, too.
So far, we managed the first few weeks of school: buying his textbooks, attending meetings (HPTA, extra-curricular groups, etc), submitting the seemingly endless photos for school files, getting familiar with his classmates and their parents, and teachers of course. We do homework, and advance reading specially on his Fil and Makabayan subjects as he really needs to have it, or else he'll draw blank during class.
In between these, we were able to squeeze in lots of playtime and running around. Teacher Mom is really glad that P has found a bigger place to run around and use up his energy. Stress notwithstanding, we're looking forward to a school year full of activities, and challenges that will make us all learn and grow.
