RSPC 2k8 @ Kidapawan City

The Regional Schools' Press Conference had just ended yesterday, December 16, 2008. We have three students from the elementary department who qualified for the Regionals. Sadly, nobody was qualified to go to Nationals. However, it is not that bad. We had fun. We had learned a lot.
Alfred and Louie didn't qualify for the Feature Writing (English) and Copy Reading (English). But Jehanna got the 5th place in Sports Writing (English). Maybe if she had the time to finish her article, she might got in the top 3. Well, it's not a loss. There's always next year. Besides, these kids are just in Grade Five. They have a lot of time to learn, enjoy and prove themselves worthy of the medal.
Good luck to all those young journalist who qualified for the Nationals in Naga. Excel and Enjoy!

Writing crisis...

Top Reasons of Students if they don't want to write in their Formal Theme:

1. "I forgot my Formal Theme booklet at home."
2. "I have no ballpen." or "My ballpen is not functioning well." or "My ballpen have no ink."
(That is right guys, blame it all to the ballpen. I hope the "ballpen" will find a way to give you a passing grade.)
3. "My hand hurts, I will just finish my Formal Theme at home."
(So, it means that when you reach home, your hands will hurt no more. Wow, I should find time to visit you at home so that my headache for having you as a student will also be gone.)
4. "My seatmate is noisy." or "My seatmate is talking to me." or "My seatmate have B.O."
(Again, it is about somebody else. Find somebody else to blame... that would give you a very high standard of reasoning. I hope it will also find you a nice job in the future... A job where you can actually be responsible for everything that's happened in your life.)
5. "I'm finish writing..."
(But when the teacher sees the "rough draft", it is a draft of a love letter addressed to his classmate... Good call guys. I hope that when the girl you are courting will become your girlfriend, she will help you pass my subject... or maybe, she is just looking for somebody to make her assignment too.)
6. SLEEPING, "I have a headache..."
(Can you believe this reason? Then if you have a headache, why don't you go out of class... go to the clinic... or much better go to the clinic to lie down... or if your headache is really that worst, go to the hospital... Then we will just see each other next year, while you are repeating the same subject with me... I hope I am not the one causing you your headache, because I can do nothing about it.)

These are just some of the reasons my students are giving me... Let me know if these reasons are really valid.

Teachers at Del Rio Resort

After the memorable celebration of the Teacher's Day with our students, we went to a resort in Koronadal City. Although there were shortcomings, but we pushed through with the trip and enjoyed the time.

We arrived at the resort at around 7oclock in the evening. We prepared for supper then prepared for the "Search for Miss Montessori Teacher 2008"

These are the lovely ladies in their sexy shorts.

MLC Teacher's Day

The teaching profession is indeed a noble task. A teacher is tasked to mold the hope of our fatherland...





















To all my students... thank you very much for making my life complete.

Relaxed

It is a good day to relax and just enjoy the moment...





Shaved head...





Transformed into...

The demon unleashed...

It's All Hallow's Eve once again, my favorite feast of the year...

This year I am dressed as the legendary GRIM REAPER...

Thanks to all my students who helped out in the make-up and etc.

The storm subsided

Finally, the series of school activities come to a halt. It's "business as usual again"... Most students and teachers are still suffering from the "activity hang over". But I am glad that it's back to the classroom. It's back to the teaching-learning process.
