Yesterday was our son’s first camping. Hubby and I drove him to the camp site. I had a short talk with his teachers before leaving him there. I felt at ease knowing that all the preschool teachers were there to assist the kids. Hubby and I kissed our son and told him that we love him before going. I had mixed emotions about leaving the camp site but I’m hopeful that it will be an enriching experience for him. Today I’m very excited because we’ll pick him up from the camp site in a few hours. I can’t wait to kiss and hug him again.
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.
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.
Summer vacation is fast coming to an end. Only two more weeks to go and my son will be going back to school. My son is an incoming Prep student this coming school year. Last weekend, my family and I did some shopping for Yohan’s school things. We finished buying all his required school supplies plus new shoes, bag and a lunch box. Last year’s motif was Batman and this year, Yohan chose Superman. He also has a bigger Justice League trolley bag. I still need to buy him a new raincoat since June is the start of monsoon season. For now, I would like my family to enjoy the remaining summer vacation.
If you have a young child, encourage him to learn new words and their definitions using a Picture Dictionary. It’s a great way to introduce new words by connecting them with colorful photos. A Picture Dictionary is a nice visual material for young students especially preschoolers.
