First Day as a Fourth Grader *

Later this afternoon will be my daughter’s first day at school as a fourth grader. It is the same school she used to attend when she was grade one and two but she spent being a third grader at my hometown in Cagayan de Oro City.

Though she is already a fourth grader, I will go with her later. I need to know who her teacher (complete name) is. I also need to check her classroom and make sure she is seated near the ceiling fans so that she will be well ventilated. I don’t want to see her sweating because it might cause her to have an asthma attack.

Aside from that, I want to make sure my daughter have settled comfortably with her new teacher and classmates. I know deep inside that she feared the teachers of her school because based on her experiences; all the teachers she was under were strict. Why wouldn’t they be? They are also pressured by the school to teach in accordance to their standard to maintain the quality of education being imparted to their students for many years. So, I recognize why they are strict and I also understand my daughter’s situation. So, I will do my best as a mom to make all things work together for my daughter and her teacher! Ajah!
