Kristine had trouble waking up this morning at 620am. She enjoyed a corn porridge Grace made for her, some banana, and a cup of milk with a few minutes to spare before her school bus arrievd at 708am. A fellow mother from the US told me her daughter was about to cry because she told her mother the teacher was very strict. I am sure Kristine felt the same but the adjustment process is beneficial. The next few weeks and months will be 'tough' as Kristine adjusts to Chinese as a language of instruction. Grace and I have to make sure she doesnt drop her English by speaking to her in English all the time. That is exaclt the reverse of of we did in Melbourne where we spoke to her in Chinese. Often we attract curious eyes in the public for using English.
Her lunch at school yesterday was rice with meat balls and vegetables. Kristine claimed she finished almost all the rice and vegetables but didnt eat the meatballs. Her lunch break is 90mins. She chose to attend a 40mins extracurricular class in art and craft during the lunch break.
