Treat After Exams

Filed under: Education, Movies, Yohan's Corner — rachel @ 10:38 pm

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usToday is the last day of my son’s 2nd quarterly exams. I admire how patient and eager he was during our review time. I tried to make our review time interesting and fun by using colorful visual aids such as drawings and flash cards.

When he got back from school earlier, hubby and I surprised him with a movie treat at home. We bought a DVD of Ice Age 3. We were able to watch it at the movie theater before but it was nice to be able to watch it again in the comforts of our home.  It was a perfect bonding moment because hubby is on leave from work.

Preschool Visual Aids

Filed under: Education — Tags: , — rachel @ 10:24 pm

I printed flash cards to help my son review for his quiz in Science. The topic in Science is about mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and birds. I searched for images of these animals and printed them in uniform cards. My son enjoyed using the flash cards. Visual aids are perfect educational tools in helping preschoolers make lessons more interesting.

Fun School Day

Filed under: Education, Yohan's Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 9:47 pm

My son and his classmates enjoyed various school activities yesterday. They started with picture frame designing followed by dish gardening. The last activity was swimming. When I picked him up from school, he proudly showed me the frame he made and his potted plant. It’s great that my son’s school allows the students to take a break from regular classes and have fun. Activities like those enhances creativity and camaraderie.

Back To School

Filed under: Education, Yohan's Corner, preschool — Tags: , — rachel @ 10:37 pm

Summer vacation has ended. My son went back to school today. He’s already in Prep. Time flies so fast. It’s funny because I felt a tinge of separation anxiety when the school service picked him up this morning. I wasn’t worried because the nanny was with him but I still felt a heavy feeling inside. I realized how much I missed him when he went to school. I was so happy the moment he got home. The house is not the same when my little boy is not home.

School Opening Moved

Filed under: Education, preschool — rachel @ 11:40 am

I received an SMS from my son’s school last night announcing that the school opening will be moved to June 15 (instead of June 8). It is a safety precaution against the threat of A(H1N1) virus.  As a parent, I do not mind this decision because it will be for the benefit of all the students.

Field of Health, in terms of education, is a popular choice among the youth.  There are many great opportunities waiting for students in this field of study both here and abroad.  There are a big number of enrollees in medical assistant training school because of the demand for medical assistants in health facilities.  Medical Assistant graduates  look forward to promising careers.

Another New School Year

Filed under: Education, Yohan's Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 8:11 am

It’s a brand new school year. Yohan is an incoming kinder student.  I accompanied Yohan to school today and I met his new teacher.  I like her because she has a warm and friendly personality.

Yohan was happy to see his old classmates and meet new ones.  I’m glad because he already made new friends.

Summer is Over

Summer vacation is officially over. Yohan is set to go back to school on Tuesday.  It’s another school year. I already bought all his materials for school and I need to label all of them later today.  Time to set the alarm clock.  I guess I have to get used to sleeping early and waking up at dawn again.

Math Tutoring Services

Filed under: Education — Tags: — rachel @ 12:36 am

Math is one of the most important subjects in school because many other subjects use Math concepts.  Math is often considered as the least favorite subject of students because many find it difficult and challenging.  Club Z provides Math Tutoring services dedicated to help students improve their grades and their test results.  Club Z also aims to help students achieve their best potential.

Parents should learn to accept and respect every child’s uniqueness. Children can show signs of excellence and increased interest in a particular subject than others.

Some children are linguistic learners while others excel as logical learners. Some children are more inclined as musical learners and others rely on their skilled motor skills making them kinesthetic learners. Spatial learners show high interest in creating things and naturalistic learners have great interest on outdoor activities. There are children who make good leaders because of their interpersonal skills. Children with high intrapersonal characteristics have strong sense of what is right or wrong.

Discover what aspect your child is more inclined to excel and learn how to develop and nurture that side of him.
