like a KNIFE!
Sharp few words.
I don't want to follow that.
I realized how important is to use the right words and sarcasm shouldn't be used to your children when you're trying to point out something :(
Hay am I very emotional tonight? Or words used were just too hard to handle?
Give me Lord more patience to be able to deal with this.
Tears have been gaining points tonight ah
Lord, tame my tongue so that I may never hurt anyone with the words that I speak.

Oh yeah What a
It was funl. I arrived early at school as always I'm the first or second person to arrive in school. I started with my scope and sequence for Science. I am pretty overwhelmed with the things that I need to accomplish. I am hoping I will be able to accomplish 'em this week and finalize them by next week. There are so much to learn and to do.
After the tiring home visitation, we all had lunch and then I had another interview as the student transferred to another location and the mother visited us in school so interview had to be done.
Immediately, my students for summer reading program arrived. So I decided to teacher 'em early. 12:45PM until 2:10. It was fun seeing little progress from this children.
After the remedial, I worked on my scope and sequence and was able to finished 'em. I'll continue working tomorrow..Math! roar! It's the most challenging subject that I might be facing.

Second Grader Class
How will my second grade class look like early in the morning?
I am still adopting the amazing routines of Mrs Lenehan, an American Grade 4 Homeroom teacher, who indirectly taught me so much about classroom management and teaching. A lot of incorrect Filipino style classroom management were replaced by her practices that are simple and yet effective styles.
Our day will start with a morning circle. The morning circle will start with a prayer, greeting, sharing, activities and news/ announcements.
There are lots of ways to do our morning greeting. It could be one of the following below and for sure there are more to come:
1. Simple greeting
2. Different language greeting
3. One inch greeting
4. Pacquiao-Mosley greeting
5. Handshake greeting
6. Thumbs up greeting
Sharing. I would love each child share a thing, experience, a word, or anything that they have learned or anything that they want to share. It could be something that they did oever the weekend or the day before. It could also be something happy that happened to them. This will encourage them to share their thoughts without hesitation.
Activities. This will help each child develop camaraderie with each other and improve their social skills. I have already tested this kind of approach to make a significant increase in confidence and trust to each other. It could be any of the games/activities below:
1. Pass the clip
2. 2 truth and 1 lie (a student will share 2 truths and 1 lie, each child will guess which one is the lie)
3. copy meow (a leader will start actions and everyone will copy him and one student will be the it. The it will guess who is the leader)
4. airplane competition (students will create their own airplane and the class will compete as to who will be able to make the airplane fly the longest)
5. alphabet game - The students should be able to come up with make sense sentences using the words. But each word should start with a to z or which ever will be assigned to them. They should think fast.
6.buzz- These entails the need for children to count and be familiar with the numbers. But each time a number reaches 7 the student should say buzz and not the number. The game goes on and on until someone makes a mistake. Any number with 7 shall have the same prompt word, buzz.
7. Dog and Cat/ Duck game -
8. This is IT/EAT - TWO objects shall be passed around and two students shall name them differently and their names shall be passed from one student to the other until their names reaches the first student who originally made them up.
9. Say it say all - each student shall think of an object that they will bring to a trip and before they say their they must be able to remember the other things that their classmates have mentioned. NO coaching unless they ask for it. Coaching should be acted out and not voiced out.
Finally, if there are news or announcements or anything important that should be shared it shall be on this time. Also, values integration and value of the month shall be emphasize in here.
Closing Circle
This is the way to end the day on a friday. There are ways on how we can do this:
1. pass the ball and say goodbye
2. pat on the back - mentioning the people/ classmates who were of big help for the week
3.
4.
Different affirmation
1. yes clap
2. mosquito clap
3. cool
4. wow
5. funTASTIC!
6. delicious!
7. Awesome clap - 2x lap, 2 hand claps then to seatmate

This is M.A. and that's me!
I am the type of person, who wouldn't like all the songs of a singer. I don't know if there's something wrong with me or it's normal. I just thought that sometimes it's boring to hear all their songs. hahaha! That's another reason why I hate watching concerts of one person only. I can't bear hearing the same type of voice. I'd rather watch bands playing different songs or group persons performing, knowing that there would be playing of different voices and style.
I love catsup on fried bangus, on ampalaya, pancit bihon, burgers. When I was young I used vinegar in any fried dishes that my nanay would prepare.
I loved watching my mother, aunts and uncle cook before. I even asked them how they prepare different menus. I love preparing ingredients. Cutting 'em for my nanay. I never cared to the quantity of meat or vegetables that should be cut. I just didn't care. I just loved preparing the ingredients. Later on, I enjoyed cooking too. Each time I would eat something yummy from friends' house I would never fail to ask their parents how they did them hehe and they were always happy to share.
I never liked pedicure nor manicure. I never liked the outerlining of my nails be removed. I just hate it! It freaks me out. But I guess I have no choice but to have my nails done whenever there's a special even that needs my nails to be presentable. I love well trimmed nails.
I love husky voices. I love the voice of Rico J Puno, Lou Bonnevie, Richard Merck, Sampaguita and Adele. It's just relaxin. Perfect for jazz. I like the uniqueness of Gaga and weird style of Pink. I love extreme music. I may be listening to a very slow rock later youll hear me sing alternative songs then later metal, then suddenly love songs.
I like being with bubbly, prayerful and trustworthy people. I know all of my friends have this characteristics. That's why they are all my treasure.
I am a happy person, I can also say that I am helpful, trustworthy, crazy!, sweet, loving, thoughtful, affectionate, and sincere friend. I know how to value secrets and I know how to keep them and take good care of them. I appreciate little things.
I am not easy to share something about my life to people. I have learned that as years have passed. People usually love opening up their problem with me and I love listening to them. I don't get exhausted listening to them but makes me a better person. Makes me reflect more on their problem and learned from them. I am a very secretive person. I will never ever share important information about my life UNLESS WE'RE ALREADY close. Most of my exes would say that I am very mysterious. I guess I am. I am too scared to share everything and be punished by possible threats which already happened in the past. I am not generalizing but I am afraid that it might happen again.
I just don't understand why other people can easily ruin the trust that you have given but then again each person is unique :) This is me.
I wish to write some more. I worry not. There's still tomorrow.

Healed
Hearing break up stories makes me realize how strong I am. I heard another break up story tonight and last Monday. I heard them share, heard myself and realized so many things.
I never regret anything in the past for I know each wound, each blood shed, each tear that dropped, each sweat molded my character.
No matter how short, long the relationship was still it made me "strong".
I am thankful to GOD for making me see how He used each person to lead me to the right path. He talked to me on my weakest and held me when I was falling.
He never failed to make me feel how blessed I am for having loving family, supportive friends, wonderful coworkers and awesome neighborhood. I am always thankful each morning that I still have a chance to actually realize my potential and be of service to others for God's glory.
I can now fully say that I am healed and totally a new person.

Mano Amiga Second graders
AS early as now, I pray for my students to be very respectful to anyone in the school and in the community specially to their family members.
My co workers have been giving me heads up as to what kind of students I have. Most of the comments were terrible. Mostly negative. But NO. I am not going to give up instead face all these negativity with positivity, prayers and hardwork.
I know there's a need for an overhaul for this wonderful class. I am looking forward to teaching them. I know it's going to be a great challenge but I know God will just be there with me and the children will also be blessed and guided by the holy spirit.
I pray for guidance that I may be able to do the right thing and the appropriate behaviour that will create positive atmosphere and loving environment. :)
Father, help me to always believe that each person is special, meant to do great things for Your glory.

New
New hair cut. New job. New environment. New people to work with. New bag. New stuff. New staff. New surroundings.
I am getting excited! But I know I have to take one day at a time.
I will of course enjoy each day of my journey. Smell the flowers ika nga.
I know it's a path I need to take for me to be a better individual.
