Magic Strokes: May 4-8, 2009

We are nearing the final week of summer classes. Most of the kids have shown massive improvement in their writing skills and we applaud them for that.

The most that they enjoy doing is our fine motor activities. For this week we had: lacing of their initials, beading bracelets with their own designs, manipulating nuts and bolts, wringing wet clothes, tossing bean bags, playing a dice game, catching bean bags, buttoning and unbuttoning and paper tearing. Some of the activities may look absurd at first but they are fun ways to develop your child’s fingers fro them to be able to manipulate them freely. As a plus we also made something for our moms for “Mother’s Day.” We hope mommy liked our work of art.

Ysabela is very playful in class. She loves to run around inside the classroom and teacher needs to call her attention from time to time. She enjoys doing our exercises and strengthening activities like the weights and the push-ups. She shows interest in doing our activities especially the bubble film popping, putting a nut in a bolt, lacing, picking the mongo seeds using the tweezers and especially throwing and catching the bean bag. Most of the said activities is being assisted.

We look forward to our last week in the Magic Strokes Class.

I think Bela is still adjusting to her new environment but I told Bela’s teacher that it is okay and they don’t have to push Bela to do something that Bela doesn’t like. I know that time will come that she will go to big school and before I knew it; I have to look for Riviera hotel as our graduation gift for her (wishful thinking). But for the mean time, we just want her to enjoy school and not be pressured academically with school work.
