Going back to school (physically) during the current pandemic is still not totally allowed. There are some few exceptions that are being considered like limiting to 20 students per class but it is still subject to discussions and lots of debates. Just recently (as of writing this post), President Duterte expressed his disagreement about students going back to school until an effective vaccine is already on a roll -- which in my opinion is the best route to take during this health crisis. I am also glad that the government is providing several options for students to continue studying without putting their lives at risk. A couple of the plausible options are online schooling and studying through modules for those who are not capable of doing online study.
Our daughter is just 2 yrs old so I'm not really worried about the schooling matter. But before COVID happened, we did plan on enrolling her to a summer workshop, nursery or a playgroup (whichever is available) this summer. Considering our location, the best one is KUMON from the neighboring city which is just 20 mins away from our municipality. We also planned on joining her in our Church's Summer Pre-Kindergarten Program which did not also push through because of the said pandemic.
I had to change some plans. I wanted my daughter to continue learning despite of being quarantined at home. Yes she is just 2 years old but I'm happy that she somehow already has some basic knowledge about shapes, colors, numbers, letters and reading. She's on a roll and I don't really want to lose the momentum especially when she's obviously enjoying our learning activities at home. I did some research here and there and stumbled on several helpful sites and social media groups that share ideas and printable materials for home schooling. I have no plans on home schooling her, but that's what I had to do at the moment while being quarantined.
I ended up buying school supplies to pursue our learning endeavors at home. I'm one kuripot momma but I do splurge on some things that I consider worth my money and investments. Or should I say splurging "the kuripot way" - HAHA!
