Fankie's school field trip

Today, Frankie's school has a field trip to see the stone sculpture festival at the local cultural centre. Rebecca and I, along with two other parents were volunteers to help out. It was fun......


Frankie is doing very well in school. She can now write many Chinese words and can read a lot of them. It is actually quite amazing watching her write, it is like drawing pictures! Still has a long way to go to catch up with other grade three kids, but both the teachers and we are very happy with her progress. School is now 8am to 5pm, with the last hour being extra so that she can do her homework at school with the teacher's help. Its a long day and she is exhausted when she comes home, never has a chance to be bored like she was in Canada. She does miss the easy life in Canada, the short days and short weeks in school, the lack of homework, the amount of play time.....but in the end, what is better for her? I think we made a good choice. She also misses her friends in Victoria, no doubt about that. But with emails and personal blogs, she is keeping in touch with a few who communicate with her frequently; and summer is just around the corner...
