We met up with Javier's teachers today at the childcare centre. We discussed about his progress and things that he needs further improvement. Generally, the teacher was pretty satisfied with Javier's progress. In fact, she said Javier is slightly more advanced than his classmates. On the spot, she took out a story book and Javier managed to read through the entire book without us helping. According to the teacher, sometimes she will even ask Javier to assist her in reading to the class during school lesson. When we told the teacher that we did not buy any book for Javier to read at home, she was very surprised. Actually we are equally surprised by Javier's reading skill. We wondered where did he learn some of those more advanced words in the book. At one point, the teacher took out a picture of volcano and try to explain its internal. She tried very hard to describe the hot molten liquid that flows out of the volcano and Javier immediately shouted:"That's LAVA! I know....". We were all amazed as we did not expect him to know it. If I'm not wrong, I only learn about Lava during the geography class in Sec 1.
Other than English, Javier also excel in Mathematics. At the moment, the teacher only teaches the class up to 99 but Javier already know numbers up to 999. Finally, the teacher commented that Javier possesses some form of leadership skill. Whenever he speaks in class, the other students will listen and follow his instructions. To me, I think he's just being bossy and want to be first in everything that he does.
Academically he is doing well but in terms of artwork, he still has lots of room for improvement. But compared to 6 months ago, he did a lot better now. The main issue with Javier is during meal time. He is very choosy with his food and is always the last to finish. Not only for the school teachers, I am equally headache whenever it comes to meal time during weekends. Really need help in this aspect.
When we met up with his Chinese teacher, her comments are pretty similar to the above.
He can do very well in most areas except when it comes to art and craft.
Although he still needs a lot of practice, the teacher can see that he is very interested in art and treats his artwork very seriously.
Here is one of his artwork in class.
