HELPING KIDS ACHIEVE THEIR BEST
Greetings From Our Principal
Dear Parents,
We
are off to a great year! I would like to thank you for your support and cooperation in making our UN Day Fashion show celebration a success. The children enjoyed and had a fabulous day!
At
Ecole, we believe that every kids need to be equipped with positive self talk
just as much as anybody else. They need to know and hear in ways they
understand that they are loved and valued by mom and dad. By giving them
healthy dose of positive motivational values, it will set the foundation for an
intrinsic love of learning.
Most
importantly, our childen will recieve the best education when you and our
dedicated teachers work as a team. It is our parent's enthusiam, support
and involvement that inspire children to do their best, and our teacher's
ability to teach what students need to learn that will motivate them.
Thank you.
Regards,
EviJovita

Teacher’s Corner
By : Miss Arrien
Hi, My name is
Ms. Arrien.
I am the assistant teacher of K1.
I
am very happy working as a teacher in preschool. I feel happy to see the
children everyday, they always surprise me with their words, acts, and
behaviours. That’s what makes me feel motivated to go to work every morning.
We
always try to make the lessons in class attractive and playful, so the children
will be motivated in school. We hope they feel curious about every activity in
school, because that will become a great motivation for them.
So
parents, let us work together to encourage self-motivation in your child.
Thank
you!

Motivate Your Child To Learn
Motivation begins with interest.
Interest leads to exploration and learning, and to the development of projects.
Projects then become ambitions and goals. Like all of us, children want to do
what they are “good at.” They want to shine and feel proud. And, again, they
want us to be proud of them.
A child’s motivation is also
sustained by ideals. Children want to become like, to learn from, and to earn
the respect of the people they admire. Too often, we overlook this fundamental
aspect of children’s motivation and emotional development. It is easy to forget
that children look to us and look up to us—and that we remain for our children,
throughout life, sources of affirmation and emotional support.
It can be helpful to think of
children’s motivation in the form of equations:
Motivation = interest + a sense of
one’s competence + relevance + ideals
Motivation = interest + confidence (the anticipation of
success) + the anticipation of recognition (praise or appreciation) for our
effort
Motivation = having a goal + feeling that we can
achieve it
There
are solutions to the problem of a child’s lack of motivation and
effort.

Promoting Children’s Motivation
Begins With Your Enthusiastic Interest In Their Interests—even if
these are not the interests you would choose.
If you look hard enough, you will
find in your child some interest—and a desire to do well. They may watch the
History or Discovery channels, but they will not read a history or science
book. Some read National Geographic magazine, but they do not do their
homework. We may disapprove, but these are their interests.
·
Find The Source of Their
Frustration and Discouragement.
When children are discouraged,
they often say that they hate school or hate homework. Or that it is
“pointless” and irrelevant. Undiagnosed attention and learning disorders are
the most common source of discouragement and lack of sustained effort in
children. Even mild or moderate attention and learning problems can be a source
of anxiety and frustration for children, leading to discouragement, pessimism,
and giving up. Acknowledge their frustration, discouragement, and
disappointment. Let them know that you understand their feelings. For young
children especially, more than anything else, it may help them to know that we
have also been frustrated and discouraged. Talking to children about the
importance of effort and hard work, however well intentioned and however true,
or grounding them for their avoidance of schoolwork, will not help. Children
have heard this all before. Telling them that they have to try harder will only
make them feel angry and misunderstood.
·
Encouragement, Encouragement,
Encouragement.
Acknowledge every increment of
effort and improvement, even when his effort falls far short of our goal, and
express confidence in his eventual success. This may be the essence of
encouragement: We make note of a child’s improvement and his progress toward
goals, not his mistakes.
·
Focus On Their Strengths.
Help them develop a different
picture of themselves. Their strengths should be in the center of the picture;
their difficulties and frustrations should be in the corner. Even children with
significant learning problems demonstrate areas of competence, or qualities of
character, that should be a source of inner pride and a foundation for their
future success. These strengths need to be recognized and supported.
