Lanz Recognition 2008

Once more my little Lanz has again proven himself in the academe. He was given the certificate of academic excellence for still being a "Top Student" in class. He was also given a special award, the "Most Friendly Pupil" award as he was able to garner the most popularity vote in class (bata pa, politikero na anak ko hehehe).

Receiving a certificate in Lasalle Greenhills was really tough. I say this because of the following reasons:

* All of the kids there are equipped with the best pre-school education. I think its safe to assume na all of them came from top-notch schools, as in mga IS pa yung iba. And these kids, surely, always gets the best of everything. Kaya healthy competition wise, very tough ang labanan.

* Despite that Lanz's report card grade in math is 100, he still did not receive the medal for academic excellence in math.

* Kids who were in the honor's list in the 1st and 2nd trimester failed to be in the honor's list in the third trim. As in sa ibang class if dati meron silang top 10, 4 lang ang natira. In Lanz's class, 5 sila dati, 4 lang sila naka-abot sa honor's list. Hirap diba. Wawa din mga kids who failed to make it.

* The ONLY kid who got the academic excellence perfected all of his exams from 1st trim to 3rd trim ... grabe no!

Because of these reasons, mangiyak-ngiyak kami ni lloyd at ni mama while watching our Lanz sit among the top students of his batch. Arctually, may goosebumps effect pa nga sa akin eh. Biruin mo, out of almost 150 students, anak ko is among the top twenty?

We are so, so proud of you Lanz. You are priceless.


*My kids teachers have been telling lloyd and I na maganda daw ang lahi namin, hehehe. Beauty and brains daw ang kaya naming gawin. Magparami pa daw kami ... nyaaaayyy!

Lexi's First Day in School

April 8, 2008 marked my little lexi's very first day in school and boy! super excited she was! Knowing that she'll be a schoolgirl, lexi woke up really early and started preparing her stuff and herself for school. And guess what her bags, with an "s", contains ... her celphone in glittery celphone case, colorful hairclips, lots of glitter pens, water in her barbie jug, loakers for recess , and most importantly ... eye make-up! Ready she is!

We got to school a bit early, since lexi was overly excited, she couldn't sit, stand, or stay in one place. Itchy her feet were, she tiptoed her way to the faculty room, no hesitations or whatsoever. I heard the teachers chorused "Lexi!" and my little girl giggled so loud. After a few moments, Lexi and Teacher Sharon began marching their way up to their classroom. My little girl was all smiles ... her actions could not contain her happiness because she wiggled and giggled through her flight up.

Since it is the first day of classes, parents and yayas were allowed to stay and observe while the class transpired. Lexi was very confident. She did not cry like two of her classmates did the entire class period. In fact she was the "leader" type. She answered all the questions of the teachers correctly. She obviously had fun during play time. She enjoyed socializing with the kids and her teachers and the yayas. Undeniably, she is very, very, more than ready for school.

Their first activity was playing with balls. Balls were placed inside a huge net and the kids just have to shoot the balls in a plastic container. Lexi had fun with this. She giggled all through out the activity. She only gets the balls with gurly-gurl colors pink, orange, and yellow. She even yelled at one of her classmates when the little boy grabbed the pink ball (hehehe first day pa lang yan at first activity pa lang yan).

After the balls activity, teacher Sharon started singing the "B" song. And then she brought out her bubble machine. The kids yelled and cheered as they started popping the bubbles. Lexi played coy as she didn't frolicked like the other kids. She just stood on her place and observed the other kids go crazy chasing the bubbles while bumping on other kids. Lexi stayed calm yet she was smiling. She just didnt want to mess around with her bigger, male classmates. I know she enjoyed this activity though, she happily popped the bubbles that came her way.



Their next activity was introducing themselves in front of the class. Lexi was called first. She really made me proud because she was soooooo confident. With one call, she stood up and went in front beside her teacher. She was asked her name and if she were a boy or a girl. Of course my lexi answered these correctly, no sweat! hahaha





When all the kids were done, they were asked to make their name tags. The kids had to put decorations all over their name tags. Lexi slightly did not like this activity because of the glue. She was just half-way done when she volunteered to wash her hands already. The yaya who was helping her told her that she had to finish her work while unconsciously finishing the job for lexi hehehe.




Recess was on. Lexi drank a lot of water, probably got throat-dried with all the activities. She also shared her baon to one of her classmates who didn't have any food to eat. Her eyes wandered as she ate, examining the entire room, the decorations, the toys, her classmates. Her head turning left and right. I felt that she was still in a surreal state, still could not believe that she really is in school, something that she has always longed for (my baby, this is really it for you... school girl you are now =D ).


After recess, they did circle time comprised with singing and dancing. Lexi volunteered to erase the whiteboard together with some of her classmates. After which they were tasked to dress-up their puppets. They were each given a boy or girl piece of paper that they had to glue the clothes and shoes on. They also had to tape a popsicle stick on the back to make it a puppet. Lexi enjoyed the gluing of the clothes and the shoes and the flower decorations now. She did not look at her fingers anymore as she did her work. After her puppet had the popsicle stick on, she proudly waved her masterpiece, even making sounds as though the puppet was talking (she's so cute!).


Heading towards the end of the period, teacher sharon once again played childrens songs where the kids danced and sang again. Lexi particularly enjoyed the Bow Belinda song, she was the only one who withstood the non-stop bowing!


As ending to every class period, the kids hugged their teachers as their way of saying thank you and goodbye. Lexi hesitated for a while because the kid who stood before her hadn't taken his seat yet. Realizing that the little boy doesn't have any plans of leaving the teacher's side, she took her turn but gave a "what are you doing? stare" at her classmate (hehehe).


Hay naku, my lexi miel is baby no more! Its gonna be soon that she wouldn't need me any longer. She's matured so fast! She's shown independence, adaptability, and enthusiasm in her class. She's indeed very, very ready for the world.
