And answer the 4 survey questions.
That’s it, easy peasy!
The youngest daughter’s weekend project consists of making a house and backyard with lots of trees and flowers.
I was able to get a lot of ideas in the web when I searched for patterns. In the afternoon I tried to do a house and a tree.
The daughter loved it! She can’t wait for the print outs for the detailed outline so she can make her own.
Here’s what I made: presenting my low-cost housing unit and a tree, ta-da!
The youngest daughter enjoyed “decorating” the outside walls of the house when they came home from school:
I “copied” this pattern but I used my own measurement. For the 4th wall, I had difficulty adjusting it to be able to get a square. I obviously ran out of paper which made the house pink in front and white on the sides and back.
Am excited to get more supplies at the bookstore for this project. Can’t wait for tomorrow to come 😀
My kid’s growing up so fast and he is immensely enjoying himself doing many activities with school friends.
The bag in the photos is my son’s must-bring because it has inhaler, wet tissue pack, ID and baby powder in it.
Your school days begin at the time you wake up at 5am to get ready for school. Sometimes it’s easy for you to wake up effortlessly but more often than not, you have to drag yourself out of bed.
Most of the time you and your sisters are able to have breakfast before the school bus goes beeping at around 5:45am. If Kuya Driver is early, you all bring your breakfast to school.
You come home with your sisters tired, but happily chatting away how your day was spent in school. And yes, you rarely come home “clean” as you get to play with your classmates while waiting for the school bus to bring you back home.
This was a Science project about the stages of physical development.
Was it just a few years back when you tried to play kadang-kadang while you were still a homeschooler? I still feel you just turned six years old when in fact, you turned 10 two months ago. Now, you are learning about the reproductive system among other things and getting all O’s in Math when the report card was given.
You love the outdoors even if you risk having asthma attack at night when you get tired. Being a Boy Scout is not easy but you found joy in it so much so you are on your second year of being one. Why, you even spent a three day camp with your schoolmates last month and tomorrow is another big day with Scouts from other schools.
And what about the Dramatics Club? Last year’s performance was something I know we are proud of and something you enjoyed because this year, you joined the club again. We are definitely looking forward to see you perform again. My fervent wish is to listen to you recite a poem again in Filipino or watch you perform a folk dance.
There are a lot more to discover, learn and conquer and I know you will be able to do these things you enjoy doing.
You are growing up so fast!
I love you to the moon and back!
Your mom, Teacher Julie
Spring rolls with ground chicken, finely chopped carrots, red bell peppers, onions and garlic served with tomato ketchup served in a sunny yellow lunch box with a yellow Bento Japanese toothpick:
If I remember it right, these were for breakfast, not for lunch. The kids arrive at school early and have time for breakfast. They don’t have enough time for a leisurely breakfast in the morning before the school bus arrives so they bring their breakfast to school.
Kampo Trexo field trip was fun. There are many activities to do in Kampo Trexo and here are some of what the son and his classmates did (warning: there are a lot of photos in this entry so I hope your internet connection is good):

I just finished watching BOATLIFT, a 9/11 Tale of Resilience.
The video is posted on YouTube.
Here is the Road to Resilience Video: BOATLIFT:
My son was a few weeks old when the “attack” happened.
Entrance to Balite Falls:
Going down to where the waterfalls are:
Children enjoying themselves:
They are all off-limits to go near the waterfalls. The field trip facilitators are manning the rope that stops them from going there.
Lovely isn’t it?
Who needs to go to the bathroom when you got free-flowing water to remove the dirt off?
Fun, fun, field trip.
