The year went by so
fast for me and for the little one, especially in the academic world that I am
still trying to keep up. Sooner or
later, I will be going around our area in searching for the best pre-school that
will be Neo’s 2nd home. But
before that, let me share to you what the little boy has learned and did during
the month of October.
SCHOOL
FEEDING. Barangay Day
Cares under the government are now implementing a school feeding. For this school year, it started last October
and has been a daily thing from Tuesday to Fridays. Moms or guardians are grouped into 4 teams,
one each for Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Fri. During
Mondays, the teacher will be given a budget for the whole week and the
groupings will do the cooking. Most of
the foods that were prepared are veggies – so kids get to eat it nutritious
foods. This is really motivating because
little kids who don’t eat veggies eat them at school because the classmates are eating it too. Call it pagbibida
from the kids’ part, but I think this is where the socialization kicks in. Kids see other kids do it, and then they do
it too.
ALPHABET. October is the month that marked Neo’s
identification of alphabets. He sings a
mumbled version of ABC but can identify each and every letter of the
alphabet.
UNITED
NATIONS. This moment is
one of my favorite (though I wasn’t able to attend the United Nations Presentation
itself). The kids were asked to dress in
whatever costume they have at home. We don’t
have one – so we bought one for Neo. And
tada! He’s the King of the day.
During practice session: “Nathaniel
Nunag. Indang!” (He really lives in Cavite hahaha)
During the presentation: “Nathaniel
Nunag. England!” (whew! He got it
right!)
I am looking forward to
every activity Neo has in his school. It
builds his self-confidence and conversational skills. It also helps him get more interactive to
other kids.
