Modernong Pagtuturo

Posted on June 30, 2010 by greenbucks| 3 Comments

Reading comprehension drills ang isa sa mga pinaka-importanteng objective ko sa aking pagtuturo. Hindi lang libro ang binabasa namin ng mga estudyante ko, pati mga print ads, newspaper articles at kung anu-ano (pang maisipan ko) pa. May mga pagkakataong gumagamit ako ng teknolohiya sa aking pagtuturo, tulad ng larawan sa ibaba:

reading comprehension

Ok ang teknolohiya sa pagtuturo, kung minsan nanonood kami ng short films sa YouTube tapos ina-analyze namin o kaya naman, naglalaro kami ng online games kasi interactive at talaga namang maraming matututunan ang mga bata.

Pero siyempre, iba din ang mayroong binubuklat na aklat di ba? O kaya kinukulayang larawan gamit ang krayons, hindi ang paintbrush na ginagalaw sa pamamagitan lang ng mouse.

Meron na din palang paraan para mahanap ang nawawalang latop o kaya naman para sa mga natatakot mawala ang mga laptop, pakibasa na lang dito.

Isa pang dapat malaman lalo na ng mga bata ay ang security pagdating sa teknolohiya pero siyempre, hindi ko na tatalakayin yun 🙂

Happy Huwebes at oo nga pala, Mabuhay ang ating bagong Pangulong NoyNoy! 🙂

I Miss My Morning Walks

Posted on June 29, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Rainy season is at its full blast. Rains in the morning and thunderstorms in the afternoon are common happenings these days. I still have to get my groove back and establish a routine of going out for a walk in the mornings when the kids are fetched by the school service at the ungodly hour of 5:30am. But I haven’t started yet because I only go to the gate to open it for the kids to go out then it is either back to bed or go online or do a bit of house chores for me.

Been looking at treadmills at the department store but whatever kind of tug and turn I’d do, budget won’t allow for that. I must make that a priority once the roof repair netbook new camera semestral tuition fees are all settled. If not, I might have to settle for a rain gear so that I don’t have any excuses  if in case it rains 😀

May Pag-asa Pa Ba?

Posted on June 8, 2010 by greenbucks| 5 Comments

Pag-asa. Isang katangiang positibo ang pananaw na may pag-asa, sa kabila ng mga balakid sa buhay at mga problemang tila ba sumusubok kung gaano katatag ang isang tao o ang isang bansa sa harap ng mga pagsubok.

May10 Philippine elections

Sabi nga sa isang Facebook page ng kandidatong aking ibinoto at pinaniwalaang makatutulong sa ating bansa, “He gave us hope but we missed the flight.”

Isa ako sa milyung-milyong Pilipinong umasa ng malinis na eleksiyon.

Isa ako sa umaasa na mas gaganda ang buhay ng pamilya ko (at ng lahat ng pamilyang Pilipino), hindi lamang dahil ako ay nagsisikap na mapabuti ito kundi dahil mayroon mga namumuno na may magandang hangarin para sa bansang ito.

Maaaring bugbog na nga ang ating bansa sa mga nananamantala ng kanyang mga yaman, natural na yaman man o inutang sa ibang bansa, ako ay may natitirang konting pag-asa sa aking puso na panghahawakan kung sakaling mananatili pa ding tila madilim ang daang tatahakin. Sabi nga ng mga matatanda, “pasasaan din at lilipas din ang unos” patungkol sa mga dagok ng buhay.

Naniniwala ka ba na may pag-asa pa para sa ating bansa?

Pag-asa na siyang dapat paniniwalaan dahil ito ang nagbibigay babala kung may bagyo o wala. Joke… 😀

Goodbye Summer?

Posted on June 1, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

The weather bureau announced (I think) the end of the summer season so we expect cooler weather because of the rains.

Overall, the tropical Pacific is cooling gradually and the return to neutral conditions may be expected this June 2010.

Still we experience extreme heat. We try to alleviate the heat by opening the big windows and letting in air to improve home ventilation. But for every action there is a specific reaction.

In this case, opening the window means hearing noisy people who have nothing to do but sit under the trees on the side of the property to cool off from the heat. Gah! I.totally.not.like.these.tambays*.

*Tambays = short term for standby in the vernacular

Do You Take Nutritional Supplements?

Posted on May 14, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

It is very important for pregnant women to take prenatal vitamins. Why? Because the body is undergoing a lot of changes and is adjusting to having a baby in the womb. It is important to keep the pregnant woman healthy and her baby too.

Come to think of it, it is not only during pregnancy that women should take nutritional supplements. Moms especially those who are working should take these supplements so that they have some resistance to illnesses. They should also be actively taking these supplements for them to have enough endurance to do the things they have to accomplish.

And on this note, I will now have my breakfast and take my calcium supplements and ascorbic acid. My arms’ bones are creaking already 🙁
