It’s Time You Put a Spin on Your Boring Job
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 2nd, 2012
Working a 9 to 5 job for 5 days a week can be tough, tiring and even boring. I don’t remember the exact number but I remember attending a seminar where they mentioned how more than 90% of the population simply work to put food in their mouths and not because they actually enjoy what they’re doing. And even without going out and asking every individual personally, we all know how true that is. I bet a number of the people reading this are also...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Codley and the Big Storm Book Review
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 14th, 2012
As preschool teachers, we can’t help but grab every book we see with a catchy title or a cool cover page. I personally am always on a quest to find the best books so I can read the story to my students based on our theme. As long as the illustration is good, I always find a way to use it with my toddlers. I can always change the words a bit for their level. A few months ago, I was sent an e-book of the book Codley and the Big Storm...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

Scented Playdough: Sense of Smell
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 5th, 2012
It's always fun to learn about our senses through a variety of experiments, wouldn't you agree? For our unit on the sense of smell, one of the activities we did with the kids was to create our own scented play doughs! Oh what fun the kids had, they were so proud of their works and couldn't believe they made it themselves. Who know play dough was so easy to make? I got the recipe from eHow.com but I didn't follow it to the dot, I just adjusted ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

Light Thursdays: The “I” of the Storm
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 17th, 2012
All of us have experienced our own share of problems and difficulties. Several of us have felt like giving up more than once. Some of us might even be feeling it at this specific moment. A Blessing from Habagat Just last week, the Philippines suffered from strong rains and flooding brought about by Habagat. Several lives were affected and several houses were destroyed. Most people think of all the destruction and all that was lost...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )
