his Kinder 1 completion certificate and at the same time a commencement of
another milestone on his life - Moving Up.
A quick looking back to the 1st time he experienced schooling when we enrolled
him in summer class for Phonics 1, it was really a struggle to move him out from
his comfort zone - our house with his toys. He attended his first class but just
slept in one corner as a show of his resentment. Until surprisingly on the 2nd day,
he is moving out from his shell little by little and eventually became always excited
for the class. Thanks to T. Glaiza who's charm for kids made Marty loved reading
and school.
Marty just turned 4 when their Kinder 1 class started. He was very excited then
for the 1st day of school. I sensed that a lot of questions ran on his mind:
will i be dressed-up like this every time i go to school, what a bag full of books
and notebooks, with matching lunch box for me to eat and is this my ride going
to school, will mama not drop me to school. As these things became a routine
for him, he now understands. That as he grows up, there is a time for play, a time
for resting and a time for school.
With their advanced curriculum, Marty was able to cope up gradually to their
lessons. And one great hobby that Marty acquired is his love for reading.
I can say, that at his age of 4, he is really good in story reading. This is the
subject that he is always proud of when I ask him how's his studies. He is
also quick and good in spelling. And a little in addition, subtraction and simple
number problems.
Of course, Marty had his own quirks too. He has no patience in reviewing
for the Nth time. He is always in a hurry in answering exams. And sometimes,
he does not want to be corrected. I know that paradigm would change in due
time.
Outside the four corners of the classroom, Marty enjoyed the fun-learning
activities that the school sponsored for this year.
A field trip to Sand Magic show, Ayala Museum and Enchanted Kingdom
were educational and fun.
He actively participated on their school events - Buwan ng Wika.
He also had a great time playing Sebastian in their Little Mermaid show
held at SM Fairview Cinema.
He enjoyed being little Santa Claus during their Christmas party and was able
to try the caroling.
And despite all-sweat on their Family Olympics Day, he was very happy for
getting a lot of medals.
And now while we are preparing for his Moving Up event, practicing on what
he is going to say up there, I'm on my teary eyes. He said that he will be an
Engineer because he want to build houses and cars. As the use of will be, he
assumed that it will happen.
I am very proud to say that Marty's accomplishments are at par for his age.
MARTY, you made us PROUD.
