Thank you Progress Pre-School GOLD and National Geographic for putting up expedition such as this. Parents got to learn more about Multiple Intelligence and the kids got to experience different challenges that determines their smart dominance.

As we enter the exhibit at Glorietta Activity Center, parents were asked to sign a waiver and answer some questionnaires to determine the child’s smart dominance. As I sign the waiver and answer the questionnaires, my kids were given a few toys to play with:

After, each of the kids were given a pass:

In pairs, the kids were led to the activity area where they got to experience Body Smart challenges, People Smart challenges and Brain Smart challenges:

Sati finished the People Smart challenge while her kuyas finished the People Smart and Body Smart challenges.. ang hirap daw ng Brain Smart challenge accodring to kuya. Each got a medal from the smart challenges they finished:

Here’s Chico showing off his People Smart and Body Smart medals!

After completing the challenges, the kids were given a bag with goodies from Progress Pre-School GOLD and National Geographic:

Sabi ko akin na lang yung notebook.. ayaw ibigay sa akin! hahaha

They had fun digging the dinosaur from the National Geographic Dig It toy:

During the mall tour, participants were encouraged to share a photo to win National Geographic gift packs:

I have been planning to buy  Monde Mamon since we saw the Monde Special Mamon Minion commercial. The Minion Maker kit comes free with every pack of 6 pcs Monde Special Mamon:

Sinwerte ang wallet ko! From the Robinsons Supermarket Celebrates Freshtival 2015 event, the loot bag comes with Monde Special Mamon Pack with free Minion Maker Kit. I have to be honest, I was hesitant to buy a pack because I am quite unsure if the kit is really free. It’s not that I don’t trust this brand of Mamon, it’s just that, it is too good to be true! When we opened the mamon and found the kit, it’s free nga! Kaya lang, you can only use it to decorate 2 mamons, that’s the catch 🙂

Monde Mamon- It- Yourself Mamon Minion Maker Kit comes with 3 “eyes” and one black fondant + yellow icing.

Although I am not sure if it is really called icing, but it’s sweet and the consistency is really thick. Spread it on the mamon and let it settle, it spreads out evenly if you’ll out it at the center.

And here’s their minions! err finished products:

Nakahanap na din ng master ang mga minions! LOL

Seriously, the movie is really cool! Watch it!

It’s been 2 weeks since SY 2015-2016 started and to be honest I just finished covering and labeling their books and notebooks! I don’t what happened but I am too relaxed this past few days. I am not stressing myself that much and I have noticed that with this kind of relaxed attitude, my kids are less stressed too.

But of course, when it comes to their education, we’re not that relaxed naman. To help them achieve more this school year and to boost their Multiple Intelligence, I made a few adjustments on our schedule of activities.

We’re still very strict with their study time. Dati, I usually let them rest and feed them before studying, my first born said, inaantok sya pag ganun. Baka daw pwede study muna and assignment before snacks and milk. Well, it’s their body and that’s one thing I can tell you moms to boost their multiple intelligence, listen to your kids. Take a cue from what they are telling or what they are not telling you.

After study time, I let them play and relaxed but without gadget. They can only use their gadgets on Friday afternoon until Sunday 12 noon. Imposing a no gadget week improves their concentration. TV is off too during study time. To relax, they play outside, improving their body smart intelligence. They also discovered the Marco Polo game!

We’re still working on our reading schedule but slowly, we’re getting there. I always ask them to read for at least 30 minutes a day and we’re building a library na! How can I convince them to read if we don’t have books di ba?

Lastly, knowing what kind of learners they are really helped a lot to prepare them to school and boot their Multiple Intelligence. It is much easier to teach them when I know how they learn. I also bought a few materials to be used when teaching them. For my first born, since he is visual and Kinaesthetic learner, I gave him a few markers for his textbooks. The experience of highlighting important texts and seeing it in bright colors can help him better understood the concepts. As for my 2nd born who is also visual-Kinaesthetic, but a bit different, I bought a white board to help me in teaching him. He learns better kase this way, yung parang classroom setting na the teacher is writing and discussing.

So far, we’re doing good with our academics. And obviously, with these techniques, I am more relaxed and less stressed!

In summary, here are the things that we do to help them achieve more in school and boost their Multiple Intelligence:

• Impose a very strict study time
• Listen to tthe kids
• Limit use of gadget
• Let the kids play outside
• Encourage them to read
• Know what type of learner he/she is
