Ykaie’s Handwriting and Excited about her Field Trip

September 14, 2011 / Filed Under: school, ykaie

These are ykaie’s latest development in her handwriting. Well, not really the latest because she can write a little better than this now.

I’m a little excited on her upcoming field trip next month. Even though, they haven’t given me the itinerary yet I know there are several places on that list. This is the first in a long time that I’m going on a field trip again and this time, I’m gonna join as a parent. I hope that there’s a car gps installed in whatever form of transportation that were gonna use. I remember an old field trip from elementary wherein we got lost and was delayed in all of our destinations because the driver was new at his job.

Anyway, sis said she will be preparing some bento food for Ykaie. I don’t know if my brother would let Cyra join us, I hope he does but he will have to cough up P750 for that…..LOL!

Buwan ng Wika 2011 {Language Month 2011}

August 29, 2011 / Filed Under: school, ykaie

Last Saturday was the celebration of Buwan ng Wika or Language Month in Ykaie’s school.

The students came to school dressed in Filipiniana costume or traditional Filipino clothes. Ykaie wore a dress that is like a cross-over between Baro’t Saya and Terno.

In English the THEME is: The Filipino language is Universal, Light and Power to the Straight Path

Buwan ng Wika used to be Linggo ng Wika which is celebrated only for one week which falls around the birthday of Manuel L. Quezon, the president of the Philippine Commonwealth republic who pushed for the institutionalization of Tagalog/Filipino as the country’s national language. It falls around the week of August 19.

This is celebrated to promote the use of our national language.

Ykaie and her classmates did a presentation. They sang Filipino song with “actions”.

I am so proud that she can now memorize songs that are much longer and with actions nonetheless!

After the presentation, there were some games for the parents and their children.

I think Ykaie enjoyed her first Buwan ng Wika celebration and she got excited when her teacher announced that there will be a field trip on October. Payment for the field trip is next week, thank God for payday advances I would be able to pay full for it.

Ykaie is Learning How to Write

August 20, 2011 / Filed Under: school, ykaie

Ykaie has been learning her a-e-i-o-u’s…

She’s also staring to learn how to write. I’ve seen her school books when they she was able to take it home to review before her exams. They were tracing capital letters and then re-writing the traced letters on the space below.

She was really into it and she’s excited every time she learns something new. When she’s not busy playing, what she does is she gets the used bond papers here at the shop at writes any letter that comes in her mind.

Today, I bought her a pad paper, pencil, eraser and a sharpener she can use at home to practice writing.

I asked her to write her name which is Purple. Notice the word “Purple” on the second line?

After that I told her it’s okay to write any letter that she wants. I noticed that she favors letters that doesn’t have any curves in them like H,K,E and F… I guess she still finds it a little bit harder that straight lines and it’s alright. I know it will be easier for her to write curves as time goes by…
