Floating Book Fair and more with Logos Hope
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 13th, 2012
When I first heard of a floating book fair 2 years ago, I was already ecstatic! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go visit Logos Hope because I was too busy doing my thesis back then. So imagine my joy and excitement when I found out they were back! I visited LOGOS HOPE twice.. once on Friday (March 9) with my co-teachers and again on Saturday with my brother and friends. I had lots of fun browsing though all the books wh...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

Mind Blown at the Country’s First World Class Science Museum: The Mind Museum
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 1st, 2012
Some time last year, I started seeing posters and banners about a new Science Museum rising in Taguig. Being a teacher, the news of a new fieldtrip site was naturally very exciting… but learning that it would rise at the Fort Bonifacio Taguig boiled up various expectations for me. I started imagining just how cool this place might be and wondered what they would have to offer that other museums didn’t have. I eagerly waited for more news an...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

The Little Running Teacher in Runner’s World Philippines
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 19th, 2012
October 19, 2011…As part of my daily routine, I checked my email and was surprised to see a message from an unfamiliar person with the subject “Feature for Runners’ World Philippines”. I quickly opened it and almost fell out of my seat with excitement after reading the message. In case you couldn’t read the small font, the message says, “Hi Cheryl, I’m working on a story for Runner’s World Philippines that ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (555 )

Personalized School Bus with the Old Shoe Box
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 12th, 2012
This activity was supposedly a really simple art and craft activity for our theme on transportation. However, as we were planning it, more ideas kept popping out and we eventually came up with this. The idea came from the teachers, but it wouldn’t have turned out this great if the kids weren’t as creative! Good job kids!

Paper Bag Owl Craft
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 24th, 2012
Whenever learning about the different animals, I always find myself at a crossroads as to what activity to do. There are so many animal crafts all over the internet and art books. All seem to be so wonderful that we always have a hard time deciding which one to go with. For our lesson on animals that fly/ birds, we decided to make an owl craft. My partner and I came up with 2 different ideas and we decided to merge them together. Thi...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Fun Ear Cleaning Activity with Flour
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 12th, 2012
Ok, before you feel confused or wonder what I’m doing with flour and ears… it’s an art activity we did in class. We were trying to come up with a way to teach kids about personal hygiene and ear cleaning and this is what we came up with. It was really fun and the kids were really grossed out thinking that the colored flour was real ear wax! - We did the activity not to teach the kids how to clean their ears but to let the kids know WH...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

My First Marshal Experience at Greentennial’s Rescue Run!
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 31st, 2011
Just 2 weeks ago, Cagayan de Oro and Iligan was hit with a huge typhoon that destroyed several homes and took away thousands of lives. Typhoon Sendong was one of the strongest to ever hit the two places, and they sure weren’t ready for it. In the spirit of bayanihan, everyone else tried to help out by sending donations in cash and kind. Others even experienced going to Mindanao and seeing the damage first hand. For the running comm...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
