Chapter 221: Teacher Brianna and the Entrance Test
When Duoduo bounced back to the office, Jin Yang asked curiously, "Duoduo, why are you so happy?"
Duoduo was puzzled: "I don't know, Duoduo learned the piano, and Duoduo wants to talk about the sound to his uncle." The others seem to be the same as other children, and Duoduo doesn't understand much. ”
Okay, Jin Yang felt that he was a little stupid to ask this question, wouldn't it be okay to ask the teacher when the time comes?
Only Teacher Brianna smiled and said, "That's really fateful, I am responsible for teaching the children piano in the kindergarten, and there will be piano lessons every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons."
However, because they are still too young, I will only teach them some basic knowledge, so it is still very easy, and Duoduo can also sign up if there are other subjects that interest me. ”
Jin Yang said with a smile: "Then please ask Teacher Brianna, but what you want to learn at that time depends on what you are interested in, so let's learn a piano for the time being." ”
"Oh, you're such an enlightened parent, I've seen a lot of Chinese parents who want their children to learn everything, it's crazy. ”
Jin Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I won't be like that, I think children should have their own childhood, and we should follow their own will and freedom."
We have an ancient Chinese saying, that is, a proverb or the like, a twisted melon is not sweet, and there is a saying called, pulling seedlings to grow, but many parents often can't understand the meaning of this sentence. ”
"Isn't the twisted melon sweet?
Because the two sentences that Jin Yang said were purely Chinese pronunciation, Teacher Brianna didn't understand what they meant at all.
Jin Yang explained with a smile, "That is to say, forcing others to do things will not have good results, almost the same meaning." ”
The two chatted for a while, Xiao Duoduo was a little impatient to wait on the side, but it was not good to interrupt the conversation between his uncle and the teacher, it was very impolite, Duoduo didn't want to be told by the teacher that he was a child who didn't know how to be polite just after going to school, so he had to worry about it with a bitter face on the side.
Seeing the little girl fidgeting there, Jin Yang smiled helplessly: "Teacher Brianna, you see, this little girl can't stay anymore, is there anything else?" If it's okay, I'll take her back, and I'll send her to school on time tomorrow." ”
"Oh, sorry, the conversation was so engrossive, I almost forgot. Teacher Brianna patted her head with some annoyance, "Duoduo also needs to do an entrance test, the purpose is to find out the child's learning, cognitive and motor strengths or some obstacles as soon as possible, so that he can teach according to his aptitude as soon as possible, this is definitely not an IQ test test, and it will not affect her admission, please don't misunderstand Mr. Jin." ”
Then he listened to her explain for a while, and Ruth explained a few words on the side, Jin Yang finally understood what was going on, which made him embarrassed for a long time, and he thought that this was specifically for children who did not have a US hukou.
It turns out that this is a simple test in a general sense, not only in the United States, but now many kindergartens in China also have similar tests, mainly for better teaching according to aptitude, there is nothing to make a fuss about.
The test adopts the Brigance Early Childhood Test method, which is commonly used in the United States, and mainly tests children's abilities in the following aspects: personal information mastery, cognition, fine motor skills, motor skills, motor skills, motor skills, numerical skills, and language development ability.
Each category is divided into several sub-items, each sub-item has a number of questions, and the total score is 100 points, 65 points is the passing line, and those with less than 65 points will be re-tested after enrollment until they pass.
Jin Yang thinks that this must be no problem for Xiao Duoduo, this little girl is a ghost, she can often make her popularity half dead, and now she has become a little witch in the ranch, and the little animals are now taking a detour when they see Duoduo, and it is not a piece of cake to test it.
Then Teacher Brianna asked Jinyang and Ruth to wait on the side, and then chatted with Xiao Duoduo cordially.
She first praised the little girl for a while, and made the little girl happy as if she was something, this girl likes others to praise her, so she quickly narrowed the distance between each other.
Then I started asking some questions, how old are you this year, what is your name, age, and then asked Duoduo about your birthday, home address, parents' contact number, etc., in short, there are a lot of questions.
It seems that no one has taught Duoduo these things, Jin Yang scratched his head a little embarrassed, just now he felt that Duoduo must be fine, but now this face is crackling, it hurts......
Sure enough, the name and age are more known, and the home address she said about the Bauhinia Ranch, which is also qualified, after all, the Bauhinia Ranch is famous throughout Montana.
It's just that she doesn't remember her own birthday, she was only three years old last year, where will she know what her birthday is, and she doesn't know the contact number of her parents, Jinyang accompanies her on the ranch, and she doesn't need her parents' phone at all.
There are some other questions, and Duoduo basically answered most of them correctly, which is not bad.
Then there is the English alphabet test, the counting test, the English name test of the body parts, etc., these Duoduo answers very well, the little girl is very smart, and there are so many American uncles and aunts talking to her in the ranch, although her English is not very good, but some simple things are still fine.
There is another purpose of these test questions, that is, whether children are able to save themselves when they are in danger, for example, if they remember their parents' phone numbers, they can call their parents when they are lost or in an emergency.
I can say the name of my body part, and it is useful when I am sick, and so on.
Then she taught Duoduo to do some simple movements, and took out a sketchbook and a brush to let Duoduo draw, just draw some villains or something, the two were very busy for a while, but looking at Xiao Duoduo's appearance, she probably didn't think it was a test, and she was very happy to play.
After about ten minutes, even if this simple test was over, Teacher Brianna smiled and said to Jin Yang who was waiting on the side: "Mr. Jin, Xiao Duoduo is very smart, and the test results are also very good. ”
Duoduo proudly echoed on the side: "Of course, Duoduo is the smartest." Then he held the painting he had just drawn in his arms like a treasure, thought about it, and put it in his small bag, which seemed to be ready to be taken back for collection.
Jin Yang also smiled and said: "This little girl is a little naughty, if there is any problem in the future, please call Teacher Brianna to inform me." With that, he handed her a black alloy business card.
Teacher Brianna took the business card and said, "Duoduo is very cute, I like it very much, I believe that she will be the best care here, Mr. Jin, please rest assured."
Tomorrow you can come to school before half past seven, and the end of school is five o'clock in the afternoon, and you need to pick her up before five o'clock. ”
"Thank you, Ms. Brianna, and goodbye. ”
After saying goodbye to the teacher, several people left the kindergarten and got in the car to prepare to go home.
