Reuben's Academic Progress

I must say that Reuben is a little faster than his peers in terms of his academic progression. At 4 years old, he is able to read simple readers and do addition and subtractions within 10. Not only is he able to do it, he also enjoys doing homework and reading books. Whenever Pb is doing her homework, Rb also wants to join his sister in doing his "fun" books.

The only worrisome thing is that he has no interest in Chinese. When I try to speak Mandarin to him, he would tell me not to speak Mandarin. He said that he's an English, not a Chinese. Sounds familiar? Pb used to say that when she was young too! :)

To deal with this potential escalating problem, we engaged Wei Han Lao Shi to teach Rb Chinese. Rb has his Chinese class with Jonas. Initially he resisted the Chinese class but now, not anymore. I hope Rb will catch up with his peers in communicating in Mandarin :)
