A group of moms on the Parents Teachers Committee made a date to go shopping for new toys for our preschool this morning. I tagged along coz I thought it was going to be fun. Indeed, it was!
It's so fun to have money at our disposable and we went gaga buying toys. In about an hour and a half, we loaded up two shopping carts. Mind you, the carts aren't small at all. Certainly not those from Toys R Us. Wanna guess what the final bill came up to? 506.23 Eur! The lady at the register asked if it was Christmas again. Nope, we're just buying for the kindergarten! ;)
I think I'm gonna miss volunteering my time in this manner when I'm back in Singapore for good. Really, how involved are parents in children's kindergarten back home? Do they have a say in their children's learning/playing environment?
The next project is cleaning up the deck so that the kids in school can have an open area for free play. I'm already looking forward to it!

Wow, shopping for the school! How nice..and your kids get to play with these toys without a single cent from your pocket! :P
Oh yes, I bet you will miss parent volunteer. Hm, I doubt expensive preschools like EtonHouse, CH involve parents this way.
