Hats off to Teacher Julie for her commitment. It shows, it glows. May your tribe increase!

Thanks Annamanila.

I cried yesterday morning when R, one of the center’s staff, commented why are there so many worksheets I want photocopied. He said last year (summer, same class, different kids) they didn’t have that much to photocopy. Told him those are social stories I want the children to bring home to read. These are about the different social settings that show what to do about greeting friends that you meet. That was just the thing that I asked to be done,everything else I did like buying the materials I’m going to use (they gave me a budget), making my own name tags, weather chart, storyboards, plus making very, very detailed programs. I felt so devastated yesterday. After all the work I’ve done? And still have to do?

Building Block Buddies, a social language and literacy summer program for preschoolers — hmm, this sounds interesting. sayang, late ko na nalaman. should i have known earlier, i have enrolled my son. there’s always a next time anyway.

sad to hear about R’s working attitude. i understand that situation of yours there. as in, your working momentum is high, you’re doing everything to prepare for the classes, then all of a sudden, someone is not cooperating. i hope everything turns out fine when the summer classes begin.

re: our visit to your center, hubby and I are still discussing it. you see, he was telling me there’s nothing wrong, but the Mommy Heart in me just wished to have Nico seen by an expert anyway, for our own peace of mind, at least.

Summer classes!

When I was a kid, I loved school so much I begged my parents to send me to summer school. There was a time when we were at a financial low and my dad had to beg me not to go to summer classes. I think I was five at that time.

Geez, memories!

Anyway, I hope your classes will be enjoyable for you this summer despite the busy schedule. I’m sure a lot of your students appreciate the love and effort you put into your lessons

Feng, no harm in wanting to have a child seen by an expert, especially if you have a gut feeling that you and the child can do more. Although most children who undergo through the services people like me give, children without disabilities would definitely benefit from them. I know of several children who had speech-language therapists teach them the basics just when they were starting to learn about language. They had an edge to those who just go through the normal language learning process.

Flori, you know my eldest daughter is like that. She hates it when there’s no school. But she doesn’t like summer school, just the normal school year, thank you.

As of last Wednesday, I think everything went fine. Thanks for dropping by.
