By now, most families are feeling the pain of high gas price and rising food cost. "The last dollar a parent will cut is the dollar they spend on their kids," assured Peg Smith, the ACA CEO in a USA Today article: Summer camp enrollment steady, but not as fast - posted in late May. Hearing this note of optimism from the can-do folks provided me some assurance.
The first 2 sessions of the weLearn summer day camp are quite slow. The good news is that each and every weLearn camper is here with their eagerness to learn. From North Carolina, we welcome Olivia who came to learn Chinese and math. I am amazed at her learning speed. We make learning fun in the afternoon session by practicing Chinese while playing card games.
Roy is another talented student. He enjoys the challenging curriculum and benefits from the fun math at the beginning of our morning program. Simple questions like “There are 5 apples on the table, if you take away 3, how many apples do you have?” will get him going at the start of the day.
Samuel and Tiffany have improved their reading and speaking skills of Chinese since the spring afterschool program. On top of that, they are discovering the fun and challenge of the conversation and pattern drills.
