1st Grade, Day 25 (extension): odds and ends

Social Studies (Philippines)
Pasted family photo into workbook. We should have finished yesterday but we couldn't find the picture we printed last week. Our 60 sq m house is always a mess!

Language Arts (Filipino)
Learned about the difference between ang and ang mga.

Computer Education
  • Typed e, i, o-emphasis keystroke drills.
  • Printed out drills.
  • Thirty minutes of free computer time. The main feature was again, Pingu's boogaloo. Also an excellent exercise for this flabby homeschool mom, especially Step 6, the Atlantic Jitterbug.
Speaking/Life Skills
Did online supplemental activities for learning traffic signals (Beechick book). Here are the resources we used:

Hi Trina, just letting you know I love your blog and have chosen for you to receive the Brillante Weblog Award. You continue to inspire me to reach for the stars and keep learning what it is like to be a homeschool mom!

I like the amount of details you put into the "learning journey" of Nitoy. It may very well be a benchmark for parents who have chosen to take the primary role of educating children more seriously. Incidentally, have you heard of edu20.org?

MOM OF TWO, thanks so much for the award! Not only I but also my husband, the silent partner of this homeschooling endeavor, am very hapy (and humbled) by it. I took a look at your blogs, you're a prolific blogger yourself! :D

JOELOGOS,
Thanks to you and your friends for "Sharing Teacher's Best Practices," it's a great resource for the theoretical/philosophical aspects of teaching. I hope you don't mind if I link it here in our blog's sidebar. I'm also looking at edu20.org. The format needs "breaking into" but I am seriosuly mining it for science supplements. Thanks for the tip! :D

Hi Trina! Please feel free to link back to it. Thanks back to you! As to edu20.org, it's a platform that allows a teacher to create and share classes, multimodal resources and e-portfolios for learners. Call it a more purposive "friendster" for teachers and learners. Hope to see you there and would be glad to assist fellow educators make better sense of the whole system.

Not as prolific as you are, I love the content and substance of your blog! I am still trying to endeavor to find the time for all these and my other interests and not lose track of what I want to achieve by trying to be the super human being I try to be and juggle everything. Heeheee, I wish we had 48-hour days and felt no tiredness, gosh, I never thought I'd think or say that.
