History Teaching

Sibika is a subject in most elementary classes. This deals with the history of the country. It is like social studies and culture for kids. And that subject is being taught in Filipino.

I find it really hard to teach him subjects in Filipino language, there are words that is hard to express in Filipino and most words used in their subjects were pure Filipino.. words like mapagkumbaba.. kirot sa puso.. ehh? who’s using those words anyway? I mean in their ordinary day? Of course, I have to try harder and explain him what are the meaning of those. I actually can’t imagine people who is into translation industry, there are words that is really hard to translate into Filipino, take fat burners, how will you say that in Filipino without losing it’s meaning?

It’s hard to explain the concept, when in fact there’s no concept at all. Unlike in Math, you just need to know the theories and you can solve all the problems. In subject like Sibika, the best way to teach them and make them understand the subject is repitition.

Mommy Is Proud

Last March, a few days before the class end, the students who will be recognized for their performance was announced. It was only after the recognition day that I realized what my eldest son achieved. Last year, he graduated preparatory as their class 3rd honorable mention (in other words 5th). That’s from a class of less than 20+ students. This year, he was their class 2nd honorable mention. Now that’s one step up from being 5th last year. What made me more proud is the fact that this year, he was 4th from a class of 40+ students (2 sections). Now excuse me, I’m bragging.

And when I got his report card, we were surprised to see that he has no grades that is lower than 93. WOOT!!

As for my second child, though he was not included in the honor roll, it was a surprise to us that all his grades are beyond what we expected. His 4th grading exam was all about play since it was his birthday week.
