Kirsten's 1st week of School ...

Basically the 1st week of school is more of an introductory & no classes was held. On the 1st day (7th Sept), we went to the school at abt 10:15 am & was to assembled in the GYM. The Principal of the school gave us a Welcome Speech & then got us to register for the time for the Classroom Visit which was yesterday & the Parents Interview which happened today.

Classroom Visit on 8th Sept 1pm

We brought Kayden along to Kirsten's School for the Class Room visit. At the beginning the teacher (Mrs. Ellis) requested all the kids to sit in a circle on the carpet while she took out a Apple Pictured Cards with individual student's name written on them. By coincidence Kayden was also sitting on the carpet with the other new student. Then the teacher begin to pronounce each name that was written in the Apple Picture Cards ... Kirsten quickly acknowledge her name when it was called.

To our amusement, Kayden waited patiently for his name & when the teacher was done.... he turned over & told us "Missing My Name !!" ... then when the teacher re-counted the number of kids on the carpet & the name Pictured Card place side by side on the floor & realised 2 more name Pictured card is not in place. When she look around & ask Kayden ... "Are you sure you are in Kindergarten ?? Or you are somebody's little brother ??" ... Kayden quickly stood up & cling on to his MUM's leg & broke into tears. The teacher was shock by his reaction ... hence ask him to join & wrote his name in another Picture Card.

Then we started with singing some songs ... which it is Kirsten's turn to broke in to tears ... she was upset because she doesn't know the songs & refuse to dance N sing along. Next the teacher took the name cards out individually & ask each student which activities (Painting, Drawing, Lego, Straws, Logs, Train, Blocks) they wanted to play ... Kirsten was 1st up & she chose Painting while Kayden chose the Train. While all the student was doing the activities, the teacher made round to mingle with the Parents & Student .. when she reaches us .. she ask how old is Kayden & said that he is very Adorable.

After the activities ended, the teacher requested all the student the clean up & work together to put away the toys / building materials. Then they all sat down back on the carpet for a Story Telling session .. Finally, the teacher ended the 1 hour session with asking all the students which activity they like best .... again Kayden waited patiently for his name to be called ..... & when asked he shouted "TOO TOO TRAIN !!" ... which made everyone Burst into Laughter.

Family Interview on 9th Sept 10am

Today's family interview was short & swift. The teacher just ask a few question to Kirsten & she was a bit held back hence all her answer was short. Then the teacher ask us if we had any question regarding the school, classroom, schedule or anything. Then she collected the School Supplies with the help of Kayden & Kirsten by asking them to sort each stationaries into the correct Bin. Then we went back to the table & the teacher requested Kirsten to show her the Summer Memories stuff that she had brought along ... hence she showed teacher the Picture Collage of us @ Stanley Park which I made & also a Picture Kirsten drew herself regarding the things she saw @ Stanley Park. Finally, the teacher requested to take the picture of Kirsten but she just doesn't want too ... then the teacher ask if Kayden is to take picture as well... will she do it too ... she said NO again.... lastly the teacher ask her .. "If Daddy take it for you... is it ok?"then she submitted. While we are leaving ... the teacher made a joking remark ... "Can we get Kayden to join Kindergarten ? He seems ready"...

As for tomorrow's school activity there will be a Family Picnic @ the School Park which most likely we will not be there. Classes will officially start next week .... stay tuned for some updates then....

Sorry for the long winded story !!

登登与家人的假期作业

学校发了作业给即将上Kindergarten的登登，希望mami，papi，弟弟的参与。

想了好久也不知该做些什么才会让登登印象深刻好让她在九月的family interview show and tell。想想不如就去Stanley Park吧，反正我们一家到了温哥华有些日子了还没去过这B.C省最大的公园，说它大还真的是大，大，大，占地1，000acres。在 Park里除了有原始森林，里头还有 Aquarium，playgrounds,water park,blooming gardens,Swimming pool,beaches还能打golf，tennis，bike 等等。太大了要用脚来走，我看得几个小时。所以这次我们只去了Children Farmyard和 原住民村。

登登和弟弟很喜欢farmyard，因为可以pet pet小动物，不过那个味道还挺难受的，哈哈，！！

登登回家后就画了这张画，她说是他在Stanley Park 所看到的。画中有sun,train,humming bird,hamster,sunflower seed,rabbit and raccoon。

准备装进memories bag 的，包括登登的画，tickets，和pictures。

除了Memories bag，这些文具也是学校要我们准备的（牌子，数量都是校方指定的）放在学校和其他小朋友一起share share用，这也算是一整年的学费了。

夏天到了

终于感受到了夏天的到来，天气开始变暖了，虽然这里的夏天没大马的热，平均只有大概25c之下有时也只是在16c，但那太阳可真的是嗮得很。。UV指数太高了，都是在>58上下，嗮没几分钟就可让白雪公主瞬间变成黑炭公主了。。

夏天到了这里的人都在做些什么呢？BBQ,Hiking,Camping都是这里的人夏天的热门节目，可对我们家而言这些活动都不太适合。。BBQ人多才好玩，我们没认识几人，Hiking走没两步路就嫌累，不成，camping更不必说了要在森林里过夜，我可怕半夜成了黑熊的宵夜。

还好这里的社区还有些适合一家大小的活动，重点是免费的，不但能让小孩开心，大人们也不觉得累，对于我们这无车，无钱的家庭还挺适合的。在我们住的社区图书馆隔壁就在这整个夏天举办了一些活动，包括了playground activities，visual art project,performances(Africian Storytelling and drumming,Musical..etc)Movie Night等。


那天带着两个宝去看看，正好有Peter Pan（小飞侠）的话剧，挺不错的。到来的人都自备了mat一边野餐一边欣赏着，挺写意的。我家两个宝唯独只爱Creative Art activities，玩了整个下午都不舍得回家。。

心情随笔

能够和家人开心地度过每一天是多么幸福的事。。。看到大家都聚在一起说说笑笑我突然在想如果我也在那而不是通过视频那该有多好。。。想家了。。想要和家人在一起开开心心地有说有笑，分享着。。。那种感觉真好！！虽然现在我人不在那里可我的心还是开心的。。。伤心难免。。不过看到大家这么开心的在一起。。那点伤心算得了什么？！！

心底中的石头终于放下了

已经好久没这么开心了。。真的是谢天谢地。。你没事。算了算都1年多了还好最终你都能平安无事。我想这是我这1年多里最开心的消息了。。。愿你能珍惜今天你所拥有的，别再让身边的人为你担心，受怕。

要记得我们大家都是在乎你的！！

第100个日子了

时间过得好快，眨眼间我们一家已在这陌生的国土上度过了第100个日子了。。也没什么就记录下来留个纪念。
