Rayyan's 1st week of Primary School - How MONDAY went.....

Monday:

We woke up early morning.. Rayyan woke up easily.. and so was Rayhana.. by 6.30 everyone was fully clothed, ready to go.. just had to get some breakfast and off we went... the challenge then was to send Rayhana to nursery latest by 7.15am before the cars started to pile up on the LDP to get to Rayyan's school by 7.30am. Making long story short, task 1 (sending Rayhana) settled, and we got to Rayyan's school just before 7.30am and his class has been filled up up to the third row from the blackboard.. so Rayyan terpaksala take up the 3rd row... I wished we had come so much earlier..

Anyway, Rayyan got to sit with the sweet Hanin, whose mom is very resourceful, knows the teachers well (she has another child in Year 4), and very well networked with ither moms in the school. Hanin and Rayyan has since become very good friend..

His class teacher, Pn. Siti Hajar who teaches English is very energetic.. love the way she teaches.. first question she asked the class "Who wants the parents to stay outside the class?"... hehe ada ramai gak bebudak angkat tangan.. nak menghalau mak bapak yang penuh kat dalam kelas tu.. nak start kelas pun susah.. hehe

So we were forced to wait at the canteen.. sambil2 tu Ja and the mommies exchange phone numbers... I don't think during my time parents ever do that... occasionally ramaila gak parents dok menjengok kat tingkap kelas tu the whole corridor outside the class tu penuh dgn parents, sampai Gurubesar kena buat announcement halau all the parents so they stay put in the canteen... hehe..

Recess came and went smoothly as we got Rayyan to sit together with Hanin, and they ate food together.. after basuh tangan they quickly got back into the class way before the bell rang to end the 20 mins of recess..

I spied Rayyan during his Math class and saw him participating actively.. he just loves Math, I think... I'm happy that he didn't feel sad or whiny etc. probably 2 years of preschool helps a great deal..

So all in all, Monday was great! An excellent start for Rayyan in the big school.
