Meyerf Travel Pack: The Suitcase for your Medicine
by Cheryl Villareal on May 21st, 2012
As a teacher, I know how important it is to always have a first aid kit on hand in case one of my students gets into trouble. Of course, I wish to never have to use it. On the other hand, as a full time teacher, part time blogger, student, sister and friend, I know how important it is to have my top medicines nearby… especially when work starts getting the best of me. - For the longest time, I’ve been keeping my medicines in an old ca...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Hot Air Balloon Craft for Kids! Up up and away!
by Cheryl Villareal on May 16th, 2012
I love playing with paper-mache! The activities and the outcomes that can be done with them are countless! During our lesson on different kinds of transportation, we made some HOT AIR BALLOONS! It was fun to see the different reactions from the kids! Some of them were really excited, while others like myself got weak on their knees at the thought of riding a balloon several hundred feet above the ground! What y...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Outbreak Manila: I survived the Zombie Apocalypse!
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 19th, 2012
Last April 14, around 5,000 innocent runners participated in Outbreak Manila – an unusual, light trail run with few obstacles along the route. However, though the obstacles may have slowed us down, the hoard of the undead hungry for human flesh definitely sped us all up! An average person could finish running a 5k course in 30-45min., I personally set my PR at 30min., but last April 14, people were breaking their all-time best as the...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Giant Earth for Earth Day
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 7th, 2012
I think earth day is a very important day which gives special attention to mother nature and the beautiful planet we live in. We take our world for granted and abuse it, assuming that somehow, everything will just get better on it's own... thing is, it isn't. And if there's one place to start.. it's with the kids. So for our extended activity, we decided to have the kids make a gigantic earth! If you've read my previous post, you'd also know h...Read More » Tags Share Comments (3 )

by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 29th, 2012
Last year, my brother’s website, WhenInManila.com was invited to attend the first ever BLOG THE BEAT. As one of his senior writers, I took on the project and got to meet several interesting people.

Art Workshop in Manila for Summer 2012
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 20th, 2012
One thing I love about being a preschool teacher besides working with my adorable students is the wonderful experiments we get to do day in and day out! Part of these experiments of course is ART! We have different themes per month and the famous artists and their art works was one of our themes this school year. It’s funny how we don’t seem to appreciate the art works of these famous artists and yet kids can find so much joy in ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Rainbows in my Tummy! Yummy Rainbow Pancakes!
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 14th, 2012
When cooking, one of the things chefs/cooks need to give importance to is the ay the food will be presented. I am always amazed at how they're able to design and create food in the most unique and mouth-watering ways! Well, I'm no chef... but I AM a preschool teacher! We preschool teachers might not be able to prepare food in a classy and sophisticated way, but we can get as artistic as we can!... and in my case a little messy! haha ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
