Polka sa Plaza

My son, auditioned to be part of the group who will represent their class in the Buwan ng Wika Dance Competion. Yesterday, the program commenced at Brainshire Science School, where my son is currently a grade 3 pupil.  They danced the "Polka sa Plaza", one of the folk dances here in the Philippines.  Luckily, after just a few days of practice, they won in the Folk Dance Competition.  Let me share with you some of the still pictures that I took of my son and his classmates wearing the traditional Filipino Barong and the Balintawak dress.

What I think about School Projects

School Projects have always been attention grabbing for moms like me. I don't know why teachers keep asking for projects that are not "do-able" by kids. Most of the time, it's the mom who does it... the research, buying the materials, planning & executing. The only thing the kid does is...... submit the project in school. I'm not saying that teachers should not give out project assignments, its just that, i think they should find projects that are suitable and that the kids can do. I don't know how this can help them if the mom does all the work. But for me, what i do is, i let my son do his share in making it. I just give him ideas and instructions on how to go about it. So, be it hard as it is, he has to do his share or else!
So for you moms there, let them help, don't do the whole thing by yourself. Anyways, they are the ones who get the grade not you.
