We got Soleil's report card last Saturday. Actually, it was my Ate who get it from school. May event kasi yung niece ko so sya na dn pinakuha ko. I'm not in the mood dahil nga Jeff and I are not okay. I woke up to my Ate's call, ang bungad nya sakin..
Ate: (on the phone) magpakain ka naman!
Me: baket?
Ate: Top 1 si Soleil. Magpakain ka!
Nagising buong diwa ko! I was so happy hearing that news but still a bit sad cos I can't share it to Jeff dahil 3 days na nga kaming nag dedeadmahan. I congratulated Soleil and kissed her. She smiles a big smile when I told her she's on top of their class.
She always tells me her fav subject is math. I have to agree na kay Jeff sya nag mana don cos I hate math! Haha!
-- Eversince Soleil entered school, consistent sya sa Top ng klase. Usually top 3 sya. This is the first time na naging top 1 sya which she was really rooting for cos her daddy promised her ba ibibili sya ng iPad pag naging top 1 so iyun siguro yung naging motivation nya to study harder and do well in school. I also think, the tutor helps her. Kasi nung pre-school sya, ako lang yung nagtuturo. Nakatutok talaga ko sa studies nya. Kaming dalawa nag aaral, gumagawa ng projects, review pag may exams, mga ganon. Hands on talaga ko. Given na matalino talaga ang anak ko, minsan ako yung nahihirapan sa pag turo, minsan kasi hindi ko alam kung pano ko ieexplain yung lesson na maiintindihan nya, dun ako hanga sa mga teachers, they know how to teach the lessons in a way that kids will understand. It's also the reason why I insisted that we get Soleil a tutor, Jeff doesn't really like the idea. Pinapagalitan nya ko kasi daw kaya ko naman bakit pa kukuha ng tutor, well, hindi ko talaga kaya! Wala nalang syang magawa kasi makulit ako.
Let me also share, when I attended their convocation in Prep, their school principal said in her speech that kids only focus on what they're doing for 30 mins. Madali daw mabored ang mga bata, so when teaching them, gawing partial. 30 mins study then 30 mins play. Wag daw silang pilitin mag study pag ayaw kasi lalo silang hindi gaganahan. You can tell them 'You can play but promise you'll study and do your homeworks after' parang ganon so hindi sila mappressure. I don't know if you'll agree, but I do, and it works well with Soleil. Soleil kasi after study/tutor, nakatutok na sa computer or tv, but still, she give us good grades!
One more thing, Daddies din pala have a big contribution on their kids' studies. I read from an article in Good Housekeeping that studies also show daughters who are also close to their dads tend to do better in school than girls who do not have the same type of father-daughter relationship.
Btw, thanks to Soleil cos because of her being on top, nawala ang bad vibes sa pagkatao ng daddy nya at naging ok na kami. Haha!
Good vibes na!
