Just a little sharing for Parents and Guardians to also understand the importance of 'Soft-skills' and 'Life-skills' for your child/ward. After the second PAL lesson (check out the photos under PAL), I shared with the class the importance of teamwork and being a team player.
Pupils need to be EDUCATED about such values so that they can appreciate their friends and learn to work together. We all have that innate desire to 'win' and the Olympic Creed shown above is a good principle to share with them about the spirit of excellence and to de-emphasize the importance of winning.
This is really to PREVENT individualism and self-centeredness in the child, and to help them understand that in a team, more can be achieved.
It was so coincidence that during Via (check out photos under Via) lesson on Friday, the same week of their Pal lesson 2, the topic was on Teamwork. Hope to have your SUPPORT as well to input what is on my heart for your child/ward, so that they can become a team player in class and also in their CCA.
