We have finished the 5th parent
class, which was first of all to think about the cultural identity and
self-esteem as mother, and secondly to learn the principles of behavior to
elevate the self-esteem of children, and thirdly to learn the language of love
in practice by finding out the way to fill up the emotional tank of children.
Also, we have learned to make conversation by way of emotional coaching in
examining the question of “What type of mother am I”
In each class, we have increased lots of
fun by making necklace, bracelet and sandwiches as well as by decorating bags.
It has been two months since our class started but the response is very hot. A
mother told that whenever she was about to scold her child, she was reminded of
the lesson she had learned in class, and another mother told that this class
should go on all around the year so that she will be completely changed. And
all of them really liked the class and gave thanks to all the supporters who
prepared this parent class, particularly because all the class materials are so
great in quality.
And recently we had a meeting with
volunteers who have helped the class and we came to discover a new fact that
the 1st and 2nd graders in elementary school get a lot of
help in Saturday class, but the children above the 3rd graders begin
to have some problems of learning, particularly in math. So, now we are trying to
know how many students need additional study and how much the city of Seoul can
support the visiting-based learning program at the eye-level of students.
Volunteer teachers suggest that if students really want to study more but have
financial difficulty, we should select a few children who are not in the city’s
learning program and give them the chance to learn math by the visiting-based
learning program. If we select three students for this pilot project, we will
have to support $100 monthly for it and now we are talking about how volunteer
teachers can help the visiting teachers. If this project turns out to be
successful, we may expand this program next year.
Finally, Gilbut School Corp. decided to
donate 220 volumes of Miraculous
Calculation and Miraculous Hangeul
Learning to us through the campaign of sharing study books and now they are
in the process of delivery. Many people have supported this campaign through
internet. These books are really necessary to us. Thank you very much to all
who donated book.
