Win a Copy of CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL: RUNNERS’ EDITION!
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 5th, 2010
I started running just for the fun of it, but eventually, I started enjoying it. My motivation had always been to beat my personal record. It's great to run to keep our bodies fit and strong, but we also need to keep our hearts and minds strong! The famous Chicken Soup for the Soul is just what we need for that extra push! For my very first contest on LittleRunningTeacher.com, I have decided to give out a copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul: 101...Read More » Tags

Feed the animals
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 4th, 2010
Just a few days ago, I shared the Pin the Nose on the animals activity. Most of the kids already knew which nose belonged to which animal even before we started. This time, we tried learning about the other things animals do with their noses. The kids all know that noses are used for smelling, but they have yet to learn how some animals use their noses for eating and picking up objects. To introduce to them how elephants eat, we prepared a sim...Read More » Tags

Pin the Nose on the Animals
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 1st, 2010
We were on our topic on noses and wanted to see if the kids knew which animal had which nose. The game is similar to Pin the Tail on the Donkey, only they aren't blindfolded and we're using the noses! Before anything else, we first showed them the pictures of animals with different noses. Some animals had long noses, others had short noses! Some had big noses, some had small noses! Later on, we showed them the different noses and even mixed it...Read More » Tags

All this holiday talk really gets me hungry! Now I'm sure you've all seen a bunch of Halloween appetizers over the internet. I'm sure you've all tried making some eyeball fruit punch or wormy mud-cakes. But what about something simple...like water? Can a simple glass of water be a Halloween treat! Absolutely! I read about this somewhere, though I no longer recall where I saw it. My apologies. . What you will need Clear cup Food...Read More » Tags

Creepy Spider (Daddy Long Legs)
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 30th, 2010
Recently, I posted an activity about a cute little spider. It was really fun to make and was originally meant to be a little creepy, but due to the kids' demands, we put a smile on it and it evolved into a cute little spider! However, since it IS Halloween, I thought we could make another spider that looked more realistic. This was another activity done with my adorable tutee, Peggy. The activity is not only fun, but it also helps develop fine mo...Read More » Tags

Have you heard about this new trend call THE INTERNET? Of course you have... unless you've been trapped underground for the past 2 decades!

Guess the Smell
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 29th, 2010
Whenever we start discussing about the nose, one of the first activities that come to mind is a SMELLING activity, and this is just that! We always give much importance to the primary colors and the different tastes, but we fail to realize that knowing the difference scents is also as important. Experts say that it is important to involve toddlers in sensory play that help develop their various senses, including the sense of smell. Difficult...Read More » Tags

by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 27th, 2010
LIMEWIRE SHUTS DOWN?? SAY IT ISN"T SO!!!! Last July 2001, the world was left in horror when Napster, a popular application for sharing and downloading music, shut down. Not long after, new applications were born, one of which was LimeWire. Limewire became the new center for downloading music and movies. It quickly became the world's most installed file-sharing application. Almost everyone I knew used it! I myself use Limewire to download popul...Read More » Tags

St. Peter Life Run perfectly defines a FUN RUN
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 25th, 2010
Last October 24, 2010, most runners I knew opted to register for the Adidas King of the Road Challenge. I on the other hand ran the St. Peter Life Run. I honestly wanted to join the King of the Road, but I just thought the price was too expensive. Imagine paying 850 pesos to run? This was just way over budget for me! It felt more as if you were paying for the singlet/the brand. Meanwhile, the St. Peter Life Run only cost 50 pesos! That's an 800 p...Read More » Tags
