Almost Christmas break

It's been a while since I last posted something here. Honestly, I don't have anything in mind to post for today: I just want to keep this account active and at least be my test page. But it hasn't served its purpose since I started this.I've been wishing to post my classroom experiences here but I guess they all belong to my memory. Just yesterday I read Katrina's blog. It's about her own version of classroom classics, I learned from that entry that she's teaching littles kids like me. And I believe it's not what she posted that moved me but the same experiences of joy we share with the students.

just some updates...

The sembreak is almost over and by Monday I will be back in the classroom again. And the next thing that I would be anticipating is the Christmas break (",) then the summer break then... Who knows? I'm still weighing things out hope I can pick the best.

Teachers' Day

Last Tuesday and Wednesday, the school celebrated Teachers' Day (or maybe Days hehehehe). On Tuesday we had it for the preschool department, I got the loudest cheer from the students. Well I really should, I'm handling them all. I just wish I can convert their cheers into cash (hehehehehehe). This is my second and last Teachers' Day here in school so I did my best to enjoy it. On Wednesday, we held our celebration at Oasis Pavillion, other details tsaka na..... erick's inviting for a climb this weekend

A student kissed me good bye as their class goes back to their classroom this morning. She is so attached to me that she fondly calls me daddy, I always stop her whenever she calls me that way but sometimes it helps me to make her finish her task. Before; she demands me to be beside her as she accomplishes her worksheets; like spell her section, remind her class number, or guide her hand with the mouse. Now she can do those more independently knowing that I trust her that she can do it. I wish to talk to her mom or dad but I guess I may sound weird if I share them my story. I can’t think of what I should do about it, maybe I’ll just get to know her better by asking her other teachers.

PTC extension?

I meet my tutee's parents.

running home

This is what I never miss every single day as I pursue my way home--running from F.Manalo to E.Rodriguez. I don't know what keeps me doing it, I just do it. And as I run I compose what could be worth posting for the day, which I eventually forget upon reaching the keyboard.
Last time I spent some time chatting with my tutee to at least lighten up my spirit, like how I spend the rest of my day, my travel home to tondo, my likes, hobbies, interests and anything. I told her that I visit McDonald's SM San Lazaro often to have my generic snack. Then after the session she asked if the McDonald's I'm eating at beside Goldilock's. I told her yes it is beside Goldilock's. Then I was surprised with her reaction telling me that it is near their place and that they also eat there. Surprise as I am I can't contain to laugh under my breath knowing that she lives in Mandaluyong. Huh! And should I expect her to learn much from me? Of the many chances of having a McDonald's beside a Goldilock's she's affirming it's near her place!
Another classic answer I got from her is that ---
Oh wait I'll give the scenario firts....
She's cursing the scientist for dicovering such volumes of facts which she is now trying to grasp until he reaches BC. Whoa we suddenly had our integration to VE! She's telling that Moses is the first man and not Adam....Why?
Because Moses is older!

May pasok kaya bukas?

sana wala... para tuloy tuloy na walang pasok...
sana meron... mahirap maghabol ng worksheets.

Late post

Lemon Popsicle

First day of classes went very well for the K2 students since I’ve taught them already last year. Only four new students came in this school year, one for each section and I think they also enjoyed my classes. Unexplainable feeling surrounds me every time I see them now enrolled on the next grade. And I guess this is what every teacher feel about their students: proud that they’ve taught their students and helped them where they are now. They make my heart so light and made me show my smile and wave my hand everytime I meet them. I believe my teachers are proud of me now also, specially that I’ve joined them in their vocation of teaching. Teaching is not just about feeding the brain but also filling the heart with values and to make our students life-long learners.

Sweet Monday

They’re back! The K2 students flocked about me as they saw me approach their room to fetch them. Greeting me with their sweetest smiles and waving hands they all look proud that they are now in K2. Some climbed on my back some pulled my arms and most of them started telling where they spent their vacations and that they already lost their tooth and that a new one is growing.

My classroom

This is my third attemp to create my second blog. I always get reminded of starting this one everytime I'm with my students or my tutee. I just can't contain the scenarios in my classroom.
