The school year is winding down! While kids (and their parents!) definitely deserve some down time, the summer is a great time to continue learning and exploring. • Does your child love art? Photography? Bottle rockets? Encourage them to create and to showcase their work! • Interning or shadowing someone at work can help kids decide on a career path and also helps them gain valuable skills. • There are so many FREE summer courses available online. Kids can explore history or art, Excel or coding in a few hours per week Extracurriculars are not just about building a resume, but about gaining skills, building character, and having fun. Rather than parking in front of a screen, encourage kids to consider what they’re interested in: hobbies, sports, careers and to explore them during those “dog days of summer.” #summer #learning #education #schoolyear

Dear Parents/Guardians As we approach the summer months, I'd like to encourage you to consider alternative enrichment activities for your children beyond traditional summer lessons. While academic continuity is important, there are numerous valuable skills and experiences that can significantly benefit your child's overall development. I'd like to highlight a few options that can provide lasting value: Skill Acquisition Programs: Enrolling your children in skill acquisition programs can help them discover new talents and interests. These programs often cover a wide range of areas such as coding, robotics, arts and crafts, cooking, or music. Such activities not only engage your child's creativity but also foster problem-solving abilities and technical skills that can be beneficial in their future academic and professional lives. Public Speaking Classes: In our increasingly interconnected world, the ability to communicate effectively is paramount. Public speaking classes can help your child develop confidence, articulation, and the ability to organize thoughts coherently. These skills are invaluable in school presentations, future job interviews, and many other aspects of life. Etiquette Classes: While it may seem old-fashioned, etiquette classes teach children important social skills and cultural awareness. These classes often cover topics such as table manners, social graces, and appropriate behavior in various settings. Such knowledge can boost your child's confidence in social situations and prepare them for #future professional environments. Swimming Lessons: Swimming is not just a fun activity; it's an essential life skill. Beyond the obvious safety benefits, swimming is an excellent form of exercise that promotes physical fitness, coordination, and discipline. It's also a skill that can be enjoyed throughout one’s lifetime. While academic preparation is important, it's equally crucial to provide children with a well-rounded set of experiences and skills. These alternative activities can complement your child's education, fostering personal growth and development in ways that traditional summer lessons may not address. I encourage you to explore these options in your local community. Many community centers, sports clubs, and educational institutions offer such programs during the summer months. Investing in these experiences can yield long-term benefits for your child's personal and professional future. #UGOCHI #SUMMERSKILLS

📆 Throwback to 2017 - Internship at Kindergarten: Active Listening 🎧👂 ✨ My internship at a kindergarten was a delightful experience with invaluable educational value. During this period, I applied and became familiar with various counseling techniques, with a particular focus on Active Listening (emphasizing eye contact, body posture, and clarifying questions). ✨ Working with preschool children, including toddlers, pre-kindergarten, and pre-pre-kindergarten students, involved interactive games and group activities, enriching both the children’s learning experience and my own understanding of effective communication. #Throwback #ActiveListening #Preschool #PracticalTraining #ChildDevelopment #ikasotaki

🌟 Excited to share my transformative winter internship journey at CRY NGO. During my internship, I had the privilege to immerse myself in the exploration of STEM education as a catalyst for empowering marginalized children. It was truly inspiring to witness the transformative potential of STEM disciplines in fostering social equity and upward mobility within underprivileged communities. 🚀 Throughout my internship, I focused on three key objectives: 1️⃣ Understanding STEM Education: Explored beyond textbooks to cultivate critical thinking and problem-solving skills among children. 2️⃣ Implementing Effective Programs: Designed tailored STEM programs to democratize access and dismantle barriers for marginalized children. 3️⃣ Analyzing Impact: Conducted rigorous analyses to understand how STEM exposure catalyzes cognitive growth and nurtures resilience. Grateful for the journey at CRY NGO, I'm now inspired to advocate for inclusive educational practices and policy reforms. Let's build a brighter, more equitable future where every child thrives! 🌈 #WinterInternship #STEMEducation #EducationalEquity #SocialChange
