ready for the next level

The final stage of preparation for primary education had come to an end for our daughter france when she graduated from senior kinder/prep last march 25. She surpassed the assessment and will be an incoming grade 1 this s.y. 2007-08 at Don Bosco Technopark. Is she ready to face a greater challenge at age 5? Indeed, she is young for this level as the age bracket for grade 1 is 6.5-7 yrs. old. Nonetheless, her overall scholastic performance showed distinction as she excelled both in academic and non-academic program for prep. In fact and despite of being the bunso of the batch, she still managed to get the 2nd honors plus 5 other medals where she was likewise recognized as best in english, best in public speaking, best in vocabulary retention and the non academic awards for singing and poem. With this feat and most importantly the continuous parental support, I believe that our france is now ready to face a better challenge. We will be walking with her through her new learnings...
....For now, we’ll give her a break! bakasyon muna yipee! :o)

The Winning Piece : "The Lord Our Shepherd"

the shadow

"huh?! what's this huge thing that keeps on following me, i can't escape from this monster huhuhu help!" translating from child's own paraphrase, this is what i can read from our son's young mind when he sees his shadow. while charles is so brave putting his finger in the rotating electric fan, he is so scared of his own shadow. this is one of the funny things i discovered with him at his age 1 yr & 2 mos. just few nights ago, while he was walking on the sala i noticed that he was starring at someting with his eyes wide opened and can't continue walking as if urong sulong siya everytime the shadow moves after him and he suddenly shrieked with fear. i embraced him and laughed when i discerned the cause. on the next night, he found his enemy again and did the same thing but this time he attempted to touch his shadow and shrieked...i will certainly miss this thing when he grows up...
