Every student's way of resting is different; Some students relax by reading books and exploring different worlds; some students listen by wearing headphones and dancing to melodies; Some students rest by getting lost in the colors, some students rest their soul, mind and body with a sportive activity.
You can find out in the rest of my article what every student should pay attention to in order to spend this break both productively and with plenty of rest and motivation.
Face-to-face education, which started after online education during the pandemic, was a situation that was awaited with great excitement for all students and parents. Online online education had a demotivating effect on many students in terms of course efficiency, concentration and adaptation. But on the other hand, it was easy to access and had a positive effect in terms of transferring new information without time and place restrictions. Students who continue online education or face-to-face education are asked "What do you like most?" If we were to ask, we would undoubtedly get the answer "holiday".
Midterm break is a break from education. Considering the pandemic conditions, it is a very valuable time period for our children to engage in culture, art, sports and nature, for students to both rest, explore and complete academic revision and deficiencies. While students are experiencing the joy of having a mid-term break, they are also creating a quality time period by preparing a holiday program in order to spend this semester productively and pleasantly.
Midterm break should not be perceived as just resting and giving up school-related activities. Mid-term holidays are critical time periods for evaluating the period and making plans for goals. It is an opportunity that should be evaluated for students whose academic success is not at the level they desire, to reach the desired level. In order to spend the midterm holidays productively, which are also a great opportunity to do activities for which there is no time in the school routine; “In planning for the holiday, parents' expectations should not be taken into consideration; Do it in line with the physical and emotional needs of the student. “It should be done.”
What Should Parents Pay Attention to During the Spring Break?
Study..
Your friends are studying now, you are still traveling..
Is this the reward for our efforts? Put down the phone/turn off the computer and solve a question or two.
There are points that parents should also pay attention to, as well as points that students should pay attention to during the mid-term break.
First of all, the pressure on children to study and comparison with their friends reduces the motivation to study instead of increasing the motivation to study. Instead of saying that my child was already at home long enough during the pandemic and did not study as I wanted, he should choose to focus on the current situation and plan accordingly.
Families should not forget that their children need a holiday. To make the holiday process more efficient, planning and preparation should be made for both rest and learning. Activities should be provided according to the child's interests and abilities, and if possible, quality time periods should be created as a family.
During this period, one should not completely avoid school by doing repetitions and homework. When planning a holiday, you should do it together with your child. Adjusting the amount of computer use at which time of the day to study and at what time of the day increases productivity. Midterm break is a great motivation and rest opportunity in preparation for the new term.
Parents of first grade students are encouraged to read short stories to their children; If they ask questions about the story, it will improve their children's thinking and learning skills. In addition, painting, singing and reading poetry with them contributes to children's emotional development. Parents of 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students are required to support their children in reading books for at least half an hour. Sharing thoughts between the parent and the student about the book read motivates the child to read more and therefore to learn. Directing the student to implement a revision program to review the topics covered until the mid-term break, It ensures that you don't forget the things.
What Should Students Pay Attention to During Midterm Break?
Now it's time to sleep and play games all day..
Look for my books, I won't even open the cover until the end of the holiday..
Instead of just saying, with a planned and programmed arrangement. Mid-term breaks are a great opportunity to do whatever you want.
First of all, prepare a plan for yourself to be efficient and scheduled. You can get support from your parents or your school counselor.
The habit of reading books puts you two steps ahead in the exam. In order not to say "I didn't have enough time, I couldn't answer all the questions, I read the question wrong..." after the exam, you need to get into the habit of reading books. The habit of reading increases a person's analysis skills and enables him to make quick and accurate decisions. You should acquire the habit of reading books in order to correctly interpret and analyze not only Turkish lessons, but all lessons.
Doing sports both relaxes you and helps you learn more easily. With the visualization method, you remember how to do a sports movement and turn it into behavior. Sports, which contribute to cognitive development, also have a positive effect on academic success.
Don't forget the stray animals. Leaving food and water at the door or on the street for stray animals supports the development of the child's sense of responsibility. It also contributes to the child's well-being.
Participating in domestic responsibilities relaxes your mind. Doing daily tasks together and sharing responsibilities strengthens the sense of self-confidence. It increases internal motivation with the feeling of "can do".
In line with your interests and abilities, you can learn a foreign language, draw, play an instrument, or play chess.
You can make future plans to achieve your goal by doing research on the profession you aim to choose in the future.
You can make a self-assessment. “Did I achieve what I planned? What do I expect from the new term? What should I do for this? You can search for answers to your questions.
Enjoyable and I wish all our students a productive holiday..
