6 Years of Homeschooling

Finally, we started another homeschool year! My eldest Gabi is now on his 7th Grade and my #LittleManGael is officially homeschooling too as a Preschooler!

I'm the type of person who prefers to have everything mapped out on paper from the beginning whenever we start our homeschooling.  I like planning and organizing and I don't like to do things on the fly. Although through the years, I learned also to be flexible, to give room for adjustments and changes along the way and when necessary. So, after preparing all the materials, books and prereading, we're off to a new start!

Prereading

3D Origami by Gabi

Vacation is almost over, we will be starting our new homeschool year this September 09.

Since there is no gadget time for my boys, both of them made use of their time to create. Gabi recently learned about 3D origami and he is just unstoppable.

Embracing a New Season of Motherhood

As we welcome new addition to our family, it entails adjustments not just for me but for the entire family, a new season for us.

This means closing doors and new beginnings...

KidSports, Your One-stop Shop for Sporting Goods for Children

It was time to get our boys a new pair of shoes and I know how important it is to invest in a good pair. Hence, we visited KidSports at Glorietta branch last Saturday to see what they have in store for my active kids.

Kidsports is a one-stop-shop for sporting goods for children. They carry the latest styles from Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Puma, Vans, Converse, and Havaianas for the active kids.

SketchUp by Gabi

SketchUp is a premier 3D design software where you can make 3D drawings. This is one of the life skills we have scheduled for Gabi once a week. There is no particular task, he can just play around with it and the idea is just to create anything as his output.

Handicraft # 6: Finger Knitting

We explored a new handicraft for the previous term, finger knitting. This is something new to us and as always, we have Youtube Tutorials to help us through it.
