Ivan的新布落格

今天是Ivan的家長日，每個家長要單獨和老師談15分鐘，以下是老師給的評語。

Miss Connie老師評語：
Ivan is a very kind and sweet young man. He plays extremely well, and is very social with other children. Ivan shows a great love of school and performs well in many areas. He enjoys reading/listening to stories and is very attentive to what is happening in the stories and is able to make inferences/predictions on what is going to happen next or why things happened. Ivan shows a great understanding of certain math concept; for example, counting and associating numbers with an amount. When he counts he is able to look at a group of objects and is able to visually/mentally count the objects without pointing and is able to associate a number value to the objects. He shows a great interest in exploring things in terms of cause and effect. For example, he enjoys building the Hot Wheels track, adjusting different placement of the track, and observing how the cars go down the track (flipping over, jumping, etc.)
Continue to give Ivan opportunities to strengthen his find motor skills (finger, hands) and gross motor skills (whole body, running, jumping, hopping). Also continue to Read!

媽媽隨便翻譯一下：
Ivan是個很甜又很善良的小孩，和其小朋友的相處也很好。他很喜歡上課，各方面表現也良好。他喜歡聽故事，而且積極參與猜測故事的劇情和走向。Ivan的數學很好，例如他可以不用用手指來數數，而是直接用眼睛看就知道數目（媽媽註：這是偶爾吧，在家他還是用手指著數的）。他對事情的因果關係很有興趣，例如他會把汽車軌道移各種位置，然後看車子滑下去的結果（翻車或是跳起來或是撞車等等）。
繼續讓Ivan練習運動各種大、小肌肉還有閱讀。

媽媽註：老師都只說好話啦，不過他說的是事實。媽媽其實最擔心的是Ivan上幼稚園後英文的反應不夠快，常常老師問一個問題，他知道答案，但是腦中要翻成英文，所以反應就慢一大步，老師知道這一點，所以老師會點名等他講完。老師是說不用擔心，小朋友的學習是很快的，有些美國的小朋友講話也很慢，Ivan並不會特別慢。因為在家都講中文的關係，Ivan目前的英文字彙是比較不足，在家可以和他多講英文（是說媽媽本來小朋友的生活日常用語的字彙就沒有很多了，這招無效，只好給他多看書和多看好卡通補充字彙了）。
又，他將來要念的學校有10幾%的亞洲人（大部份是日本人，因為我們住的那區很多日本人），所以語言他絕對不會特別慢的。
