Marty's First Story Telling - The Turtle and The Monkey

My son made us proud again!

Their recently concluded English-Math-Science Festival held in Story Land
SM Fairview last Sept. 28 paved the way to make my son speak in public.

He got 3rd place in their story telling entitled The Turtle and The Monkey
for the 1st graders.  His awesome props - courtesy of my friends in the office.
Big Thanks to you my friends....

For a playful and shy 6 year-old kid, it was really hard to memorize and
have him recite the story this long.  Surprisingly, my son did it. He was
able to memorize the whole story in 2-nights session + the action
for another night.  What made him more interested and memorized it easily was
that I let him wrote it down in a brown paper and posted it in our bedroom wall.
I told him that was my way of  reviewing when I was in of his age so that it will
easily stick into my mind and will never forget it.

Though I was a little bit disappointed when he did not act what he practised
during the contest, thank God, he finished the story.

It was really a first big step for Marty.

What's playin' in my mind? What if I enroll him on their theater acting
club?

After the event, all kids were treated with a Ride-All-You-Can ticket
in the Story Land rides.  It was really a tiring but enjoyable day for my son
with his classmates.

In the Train ride...

The Carousel ride...

Walking Animal ride...

And the 4D X-Rider experience.  Marty was the one in the middle.

Nutrition Month and Buwan Ng Wika Celebration(Aug.31)

The long awaited events in my son's school were held just last Aug.31 - joint 
celebration of Nutrition Month and Buwan Ng Wika. 

It was another special day for the Whiz Kids to show case their talents - singing,
dancing, cooking, ballet, & in games. 

Overall, it was a simple yet awesome experience for the Whiz Kids. 

Some activities that my son actively participated into.

Salad-making contest...

Games...

And the MSA Whiz Kids TKD Club demo...

Taeguk 3 demo...

TKD Kicking demo...


And its the first day of the BER months....

And today is the first day of the BER months....Is it beginning to feel or look a lot
like Christmas?  Well, I just heard today a Christmas carol that was played before
the PTA assembly in my son's school started.

Despite recent calamities and loss of one great statesman Sec. Jesse Robredo,
there are still overflowing wonderful things that we should be thankful of.
And the start of the BER months is one way of giving hope to many to remember
and celebrate the birth of the only Saviour. 

Since it is nearing the last quarter of the year, I pray that everything will
work out fine according to His will - for my family, for the bread and butter
of The Family and for the country.
