I was not able to sit in at all. I was able to go as far as the classroom door, and then the head teacher practically shooed us mothers out the door :).
And so I had no choice but to sit outside and wait for updates from the teachers who'd talk with the parents and guardians from time to time.
The head teacher said that Eya stopped crying after a few minutes. She did not mingle much with the other kids though. She just sat silently in a corner with her pillow on the lap during most of nap time, together with Angelica. Maybe she was still feeling a bit down for being so drastically abandoned.
Come dismissal time, Eya came out of the room proudly holding out her artworks for the week. I know that she was looking and waiting closely for my reaction. It was nice to see her like this. And of course I praised her profusely and sincerely.
I chatted with some of the teachers regarding her progress. They said:
*Eya did not mingle much with the other kids but she no longer has to be told to go into the circle or within the group when there's an activity (e.g. like reading or science experiment)
*she liked action songs the most, and interested in activities that involved colors
*she's still more on observing than participating
Hmmm, I hope that her second week will be more enjoyable and fruitful for her.
