a few things about school


we got a few comments on facebook after i posted the photos and my last blog post link, which made me see that there were quite a few things that i should record.  so here it is:


  • the school is an early education centre called "new oriental", and this class is especially tailored to young toddlers aged 1.5 to 3 years of age.  it is the first time they're running this full time class in guangzhou, but they've had a few years experience doing so in beijing and shanghai, and they're a reputable early education centre which runs weekly classes that runs for a hour or so.
  • because it's only less than a month to the chinese new year, there're only 5 students this month, and 2 teachers and a baby sitter.  after the new year, there'll be about 10 students.
  • alan had chosen the spiderman school bag for himself, his other options were a few different micky mouse bags (photo of spiderman bag here);
  • we bought him this new pair of shoes especially for going to school.  alan had wanted a black pair, but ended up with the green ones as there weren't his size in black.
i should write more about his first school day experience once i receive the photos from his teacher - he's been the best boy.
