I started in April this year. I passed the exam one last week and then I have to practise and then take the driving test. This morning I received a car from my daughter’s teacher and she would like to visit us. I am just wondering whether I would buy a card for her. I heard from my colleagues that they have the same experience of teachers visit at the beginning of school. She asked me to offer her a family photo so I have to print photo and give it to her this Saturday. It’s very next to our house. The teacher told me there were five classes this year.

It also difficult to get along with the kid’s parents. You have to deal with different parents. They have to prepare the homework at home after work. They have to plan the lessons. The teacher there they told me this was not a easy work and you get a low pay. You have to prepare/plan the class after work and actually I use to plan the class in 15 minutes in the test. I know it’s not very easy to finish it. It’s difficult to teach little kids to learn the knowledge.

Well, my daughter is about to start kindergarten this year. Kindergarten is a difficult time for her because she will go away from me first time. She will has the chance to live group life in the kindergarten. She will learn how to share everything with other kids. Put things back where she finds them. Clean up her own mess. Say sorry when she hurt somebody. Wash her hands before she eats. Don’t take things that aren’t hers. She will get a suit of uniform of school. It doesn’t just clothes but a kind of indication which shows she is a formal student. Most importantly, the life in the kindergarten will be a wonderful memory in her life.
