Halloween Party @ Bela's School

Call me an over excited stage mother, but I already contacted Mrs. Prim to contract her to do the Halloween costume of Bela for their school party even though I haven’t received the Halloween Invitations from her school.

During the school orientation, it was mentioned that part of the school’s culminating activity is to organize a costume party for all the students of MSS. They will give out Halloween Party Invitations to all the students so the parents can prepare for their kids’ costume.


I can’t wait to receive the Halloween Invitation that they will be ordering from Holiday-Invitations which will be specially designed to contain pictures of MSS’ students. I checked out http://www.holiday-invitations.com/ to look for Invitations Halloween that I can show it to Bela so she will know what to expect for their upcoming Halloween party.

Bela’s Journal Report: July 20-24, 2009

What a wonderful week it was! We started off the week with an activity where the kids used their sense of touch. They wer able to differentiate the objects that are wet and dry, soft and hard, smooth and rough, hot and cold. They had fun doing the finger painting art where they are going to use their own finger instead of using the paint brush to make their own designs. We also made them design their own bottle by pasting paper of different colors (black, brown, pink and white). We also had a stencil activity using an empty tissue roll and paint, where the kid will roll the tissue with paint and a certain shape like diamond, crescent, star will appear. For Phonics as reinforcement for letter FF and Bb, they made their own alphabet scrapbook where they try to paste pictures that begin with the said letters. We continue discussing the use of is and are and also we rote count from 1 to 40. We also introduced the concept of in front and behind by letting the kids line up and doin a simple dance step during our music and movement.

During our tasting activity last week, Bela didn’t try any of the food she or her peers brought. Even the sweetest chocolate she refused to eat.

When asked to name things that begin with f and b she gave the examples bumblebee and fingers. She also said orange is orange when we let them name things that have different colors and shapes. During writing, we are very happy to note that she needs lesser help in tracing lines and she has a better grop of the pencil. She is also able to manipulate the pencil with added control in following the lines.

We are glad that the kids showed excitement in doing the activities for this week. Hopefully they would enjoy the activities more in the coming week.

Everybody is Excited

I remember, when I announced to my family and friends that I am pregnant, everybody got so busy looking for Shower Invitations and planning for a baby shower as they can’t wait for the coming of Bela. They got really excited that they ordered for baby shower invites from CardsShoppe right away. They want nothing but the best for the shower so they made sure that they got the best custom made invitations baby shower just to express how excited and happy they are for the coming of the new member of the family. The invitations are really adorable and it even has a picture of us together with Bela while she was still in my tummy.

Now, everybody is waiting to find out if Bela will be a big sister soon. I am sure they already check out http://www.cardsshoppe.com as early as now due to their excitement. Howell and I are just praying that God will shower us this year with another blessing.

Green Cocoon's Fashion Show

While Howell and I are on our vacation, Bela’s class had a Fashion Show instead of the usual Outdoor Play they have every Friday. The kids were asked to wear clothes worn for different weathers and Bela was asked to wear clothes for sunny day.

My mom doesn’t know how to operate her camera and they were not informed that parents can watch the fashion show. So when they arrived, the show is already finished. Good thing, one of my co-parent, Cherry (thank you so much Cherry), took a picture of Bela when it was her turn on the ramp.

Look at her. Will she pass for a model? LOL.

When we arrived from our vacation, I learned that they will have another Fashion Show and this time, the whole school including the teachers will participate. Too bad I have no more leaves left to watch it but Howell was able to take a day off and they were even able to take videos and pictures of the event. (I will just make a separate post about it as Howell hasn’t downloaded the pictures yet from our camera).

Thankful for my Friends

I was just looking at the pictures of Bela taken during their Fashion Show at school and it made me realized that I am ready to have our second child.

I can still remember, everybody was so excited when we announced that I am pregnant. All my set of friends have organized separate baby shower so each of my friends received quite a number of invitations baby shower a few months before I gave birth.

I was really touched as they really made sure that everything was in order for the shower – the food, the party games, the baby invitations (which they ordered from http://www.cardsshoppe.com), and the gifts. My favorite is the baby shower invitations from CardsShoppe since the design was specially customized and it even has a photo of me with my baby bump.

I am really thankful that I have friends like them who made my pregnancy extra special.
