2nd Grade

Breakfast on the first day of school
before leaving the door..

with the cousins...

in the classroom with her classmates...


Alhamdulillah...the terror of first grade has passed.. Hatice left first grade with a certain phobia over reading books... n she purely hates homework..in her mind... homework is not something she is looking forward in doing...she does it because she has to.She is an obedient child after all.



8th September... her road in gaining more knowledge continues in 2B..3 of her classmates have moved school...Zeynep...Atakan n Ahmet hakan if i am not mistaken...She is particularly sad about Zeynep coz she was one of her best friends in pre school...



Luckily her class teacher has not changed.. Nuray Çatman is still her mentor and from what i have spoken to her... Hatice's fear n dislikes mainly stem from self confidence... in which she promised to look into.. n hopefully by the end of this term... my daughter will have a more positive view towards homework...n reading turkish books...i know my daughter is in safe hands....n i put my trust in Allah... n her teachers to make her education as smooth as possible...



This academic year however, i have stopped making her do her homework with me next to her... With her brother entering 1st grade and i needed to scream a lot... she is doing her homework in her own room instead of the living room......So far so good... for now.... i am simply observing... monitoring her...giving feedback n getting feedback with nuray hanım whenever necessary.....

Her bed time has also been extended from 7.30pm to 8.30pm. I have also gven her the permission to watch the *beşinci boyut* tv episodes every thursdays which ends by 9.30pm since that is the tv episode that she loves most and it promotes extremely good human values in the stories as well as reminding us to be thankful to Allah.

I wish u all the love n luck my sweet flower...
Bloom into a ravishing flower from the simple bud u r..
for u r the princess of my heart
and i want others to see the princess in u...
shine...
