Silly Foot and Hands Lobster
by Cheryl Villareal on Jun 1st, 2011
Summer reminds me of the beach and all the wonderful sea animals. Often, we do fish projects and crafts in school that we neglect all the other beautiful sea animals. So this time, why not try something new? Why not make a silly little lobster with those little hands and feet! I saw the idea from Moments of Mommyhood and I instantly knew I had to try it! - What you will need Red paint Paint brush White paper Eyes and mouth print o...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

End Hunger: Walk the World (My Barefoot Experience!)
by Cheryl Villareal on May 29th, 2011
Around June last year, the first ever Walk the World Philippines was held at MOA. I enjoyed the event because it was clear with its goal to just walk 1 km or run a short distance and be part in helping to put an end to world hunger. Last year there was a band playing near the starting/finish line, there were several people wearing costumes and body paint as representatives from different provinces, there were mascots, and so much more! It really ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Starfish Art with Rock Salt
by Cheryl Villareal on May 27th, 2011
I remember being so amazed with starfishes when I was younger. I used to think they were just star-shaped rocks! I was so curious how they moved and how they become "alive". It was only when I visited a beach during my teen years that I finally saw starfishes move and even piling up one over the other! They were really fun to watch and are something you can't miss during the summer season. - So for our theme on sand and sea, we decided to have ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Bounty Fresh Chicken Presents the Chic Mom’s Club
by Cheryl Villareal on May 25th, 2011
Every mom wants the best for her children. She wants her child to learn new things, meet new people and have fun! However, nowadays, moms need to work double time and extra hours to ensure the best for their kids. This leaves her stress and tired and without enough time for herself. - I'm not yet a mom myself, but I AM a preschool teacher. I understand the "juggler" life of every mom because of my kids' parents stories, my own parents stori...Read More » Tags Share Comments (550 )

My 10KM Training Run with the Eat.Pray.Run Team
by Cheryl Villareal on May 20th, 2011
After 3 years of joining fun runs and running in the 5km category for more than 20 times, and only twice running in the 10km category, I finally decided it was time to move forward! I've had so much fun joining fun runs and my goal progressed from just wanting to finish a race to beating my personal record of 30min for 5km. For the past 3 years, I've only had time to run during Sunday fun runs and had no training whatsoever. This summer, I wanted...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Yum! Octopuses? Squids? Now I wonder what that would taste like! No worries, it's not a real octopus or squid, but it sure is a lot of fun to make!

Watercolor Jellyfish Painting
by Cheryl Villareal on May 15th, 2011
Our theme for the week was sand and sea! I saw several wonderful ideas that I wanted to try, and this was one of it! When I first saw this through TeachPreschool.org, I wondered if the little ones would be able to do it. It looked fairly easy, but then again... maybe not. Still, I decided to give it a go. Regardless of how it turns out, the important thing is that they tried and they had fun! What made this activity great is the unique way of ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
