Our first PTC @ TU

Yesterday, my husband and I went to Toddlers Unlimited to attend our first Parents-Teachers Conference. We are early for our 3:30 PM appointment but the one scheduled for 3:00 was not able to make it so Teacher Maica and Teacher Lei was able to talk to us right away.

We were asked to go inside the yellow room assigned to the Jumping Joeys class (Bela’s class). These are what Teacher Lei and Teacher Maica told us about Bela:

* Bela adjusted well to the program. Even during the first days of the school year, she did not have a hard time adjusting. There are just times that she has to warm up for a bit because she doesn’t want to let go of her lola. But once her teachers give her something that she really likes, like her animal toys, she will immediately forget about her lola.
* Bela likes to explore all areas of the room but she usually stays in the Blocks area.
* Bela also loves reading books (They mentioned the titles of the books but I forgot to take note of it. All I know is that they are books about animals)
* Bela loves playing with her classmates. She knows how to share her toys also and she knows how to wait for her turn. But there are just times when she is fixed on a particular toy, she will not allow you to touch it. Like when all the animals are facing to the right, you can’t turn one animal to the left because she will ask you to fix it. Or when we try to hide one animal, she will know which animal is missing.

I was also able to ask Bela’s teachers about some concerns that we have. I asked them about Bela’s talking skills. (If you will remember, I made a post here when I got bothered since Bela’s lola’s are suggesting that we should consult a speech pathologist.) She can construct sentences now and she can very well express what she wants, but there are still times when she still babbles and we really can’t understand her especially if she is so excited. But according to her teachers, her vocabulary is wider compared to other kids and she can really very well express what she wants so there is nothing to be bothered about.

I also asked them if it is just normal since Bela is really so active. According to Teacher Maica, Bela is really fast and active but it is really not something that we should be bothered about. She is just a happy and playful kid.

I was one happy and proud mom. I’m really glad that my daughter is really having a lot of fun at school and I can see that she really loves her teachers and her classmates.
