Just a little PUSH

...just a little shove so that I can make myself write an entry to this blog. The tags have been blessing in disguise for me. They put me on the grove.

I have been in deep thoughts as to whether or not I will enroll Anevay again in Tumbletots or Kindermusik. Although there are many negative reactions regarding play school, I still think both have help a lot in Anevay's development. With our situation right now, its only me and her in the house during daytime while night time during weekdays, my sister and her husband are here. Our house has a big gate that it is really impossible to see the outside world. lol! These two schools have somehow help Anevay not to shy away from people.

Through Tumbletots, Anevay's skills have been fully developed plus her social skills have been honed. And in Kindermusik, although we only attended few classes it instill in her the love for music that now she sings every songs in Playhouse disney. But I stopped going to both school for just one reason : I am really stress out because of the travel. Tumble Tots is in Libis, Kindermusik is in Cubao and we are residing in Marikina. It was tough for me especially I have no one to accompany us. So I decided not to go.

Now, I am not sure if I wanted to go back, i know this is the stage of exploration for Anevay. I wanted her to be exposed to all things that can help develop her in every aspect. So, I wanted to try the Right Start Program of Tumbletots, but it cost around 40k, i think. And the class would be thrice a week. That is so tiring for me.

I am still undecided or should I say my current decision is to be Anevay's teacher. Every month I am setting a plan on what to teach her. Like for this month we are focusing on colors and shapes. We started with the shape sorter yesterday and today she can compare and match the shapes. And after a few succesful tries she got tired of the shape sorter and ventured on to the book. This is a very challenging goal. I needed to keep up with Anevay's development and lay the road plan ahead of her. In fact, I am looking for activities daily. The little girl is really energetic so I need to look for ways on how to channel her energy into things where she can learn. Right now she knows circle, square, triangle, star, heart, oval, diamond. She's having a hard time saying rectangle. lol! Its a nice feeling to be able to teach her this things.

So I think it would be best for us to just stay at home and learn a thing or two, right ? Oh and btw, if you are like me looking for daily activites with your kids 5 under, you can head over to Play Activities. They send out emails every week which you can do with your kids. I found this site through the MommyFest and their emails gives me idea on what to do.
