Science Fair 2014

This was my Allison's first science fair at school. It was a privilege to belong to the SSES. The kids had a lot of exposure, and were trained to be scientists (chos!) at this early age.

Since I am "the busy mom", I was only able to extend a little help to my kapwa mommies. While most of the mommies really did extra miles for the event, i can only volunteer to do their nameplates and a few stuff. 

Now here's my Aton:

And her nameplate:

Earlier, Teacher Irene met us to discuss how the presentations would go. Ay, napakalabong usapan as usual. Lols. All we understood about the usapan would be that this kid will go solo, these kids would present by pairs, this kid will do this, this kid will do that.

We were under the impression that we are to present all three experiments. One of these called for dried ice. Alam naman natin that it's very hard to find. But my co-mommies were very much eager to get some, for the sake of this fair.

The dry ice search failed. But we were able to go by. 

Our group had this instead:

The fair was held on a friday. The monday before that, I was all ngarag preparing for it and practicing my Aton for their demo. I am very thankful (again, and as always) that my kid is always game for the challenge.

Here's the first part of her demo:

We were debating pa whether it is hydrogen carbonate or sodium bicarbonate for the other compound. So we weren't able to record a video for the discussion part.

The event was a success. It was a training ground for my aton and her classmates and i was also able to make friends with my co-mommies. I am a happy nanay :)

For the love of my three little indians,

My First Grader's Poster Making Project

Poster making's sisiw for Allison. She's a creative kid. Mataba din utak nyan. But of course, she still needs guidance.

I was excited for her group's poster making project. Kaya naman I had no second thoughts on inviting the kids over for some dry run. May konting briefing with the kids and the mommies have assigned their kids on individual tasks para nga naman hindi na magkagulo on the event itself. The drafting, outlining, coloring, and show and tell tasks were delegated accordingly.

The kids are very masunurin naman and they played pretty well on team work. :) Happy mommy here.

I am wondering though, on what happened to their presentation. We haven't received any feedback yet fromt Teacher Irene..


For the love of my three little indians,
