It's Summer time again here in the Philippines, that means vacation to students who goes to school. And homeschoolers also look forward to these months because they can play with their cousins,go to the beach and go out of town.My kids also enjoy this season because I enroll them in different classes that can be credited as their MAPE.So I utilize the classes that different schools offer.I have different tips to all the moms who want their child to do something this summer which will enhance their abilities.
1.As early as now you must know the potential of your child. Whether they are in Sports, Arts (dance, singing, painting, acting),Historian (interested in museums ,history of the country..),Science (loves anything related to nature), Mathematician, Book lover, Pet lover and others.These are just examples of interest you might see in your kids.
2.Go and search for a school near you and inquire about the classes they offer.Fees, no.of sessions, the date when the class will start and end, curriculum, what's included in the fee or kit, recital, venue for recital.
3.Ask the name of teacher who will conduct the workshop.You must know the credentials, performances, school where they mastered the skill.
4.Location of the school,is it near your place or if not is it accessible.The security and the facilities if the child will be picked up late.
5.Things needed for the class,where to buy or will you buy it there?
Rules and regulation that the student must follow so the parents will be aware of it before you decide to enroll.
6.Think and pray about it if your child is suited for the class.
These are the things i usually do as early as now.And for me bringing them to the class is one way of bonding and spending quality time with them.I hope these idea will also help you for your kids summer vacation.And don't forget to Save the Date!
Happy Vacation!
