We were welcomed with enthusiasm by 22 children who are excited to try their hand on mindmapping. First it was in Manila, now it's in Cebu. Mind mapping is really contagious!
The best part of the workshop for me is when I ask the kids to create an innovative idea or product that will help solve people's problems. Here are their group projects.
"Teacher, can we have MindMapping every Saturday?" "Can we enroll here until 2010?" I was tickled pink at these comments of my students. LIke them, I have enjoyed teaching this course. It's a joy to see them having fun while learning.
From the first day and activity of the seminar, kids are already showing a lot of signs of creativity--something that they don't get to practice much in school. Here in mind mapping, they do a lot of right brain activities.
For each of the following four words, come up with another English word that uses all THE SAME letters but in a different order.

The most creative drawing I have seen of the left and right side of the brain. I am so proud of ALL of my students for having learned to tap into their creative genius by unlocking the potential of their LEFT and RIGHT brain. You are all geniuses!
It's a batch record! In just two days, half of the class were able to juggle 3 balls. That is 8 out of 16 students. Congratulations, you have just proven that with an "I can" attitude, you really can do anything. But also, maybe it has a lot to do with the rubics cube prize.
It astounds me that kids are able to produce such creative and colorful works of art yet combine it with what they are learning in school. Mind maps really make school work fun.
It's summer yet these kids have found a way to use their summer in a productive and proactive way. Sixteen teenage kids graduated last May 10 from our class.
My apologies to my April Graduates for not being able to post your pictures. Something happened to my camera that I lost the pictures for that MM run. I will try to find the files of Salt and Light and see if I can borrow their pictures. Please don't "make tampo". I feel bad that your pictures are not yet posted here. I love every batch that I have in Makati Sports Club. You are in every way special to me. Will try hard to remedy this.
There is : an orange, a muffin, an apple, chocolate bread and raisin bread.
Hints : - Michelle hates chocolate and oranges. - Irène loves raisins. - Pierre et Sarah don't want chocolate bread. - Pierre et Jean are the only ones who like apples.
Kids are born with natural creative abilities. It's too bad a lot of it is stifled by a lot of left-brain thinking we do in school. Mindmapping brings out the genius in your child by activating even the right side of their brain -- making homework fun.
With the last quarter exams approaching, March was a great time to prepare for the reviews ahead.These kids took time to learn a new skill and mind mapped their way into school.
Mind Map Seminar for Kids is open to two levels: grade 1 to 5 (7 to 11 years old) and grade 6 to high school and even college (12 to 19 years old). Here are some of the young, handsome students from La Salle who attended our February workshop.
