A MONTH TO HONOR THE WORLD’S CHILDREN AND THE WORLD’S FUTURE

    Yearly, particularly the month of November, we celebrated the National Children’s Month. This month-long celebration aims to provide Filipino children with a safe environment, a quality education, and access to healthcare. As Dr. Jose Rizal, our national hero said that “young children are our country’s hope”, therefore, investing in children is key for the betterment of the next generation. This holiday is also motivated by feelings of empathy.

    Children are adorable. They are divine gifts from the Almighty. Their eyes are filled with wonder, they smile when they receive love and admiration, they cry over trivial matters, they laugh when they are with their friends, and they represent nothing but pure and faithful love. Every child conveys the message that God is not yet dissatisfied with man. Every child born into the world is a new thought from God, a vibrant and ever-changing possibility. Every child is a unique flower, and together they make the world a beautiful garden. From a child we learn giggling, laughing and playing.

    National Children’s Month is enjoyable for little ones, but it is also important for parents. Every parents must recognize the significance of children’s month. Parents should be well aware of their angels’ minor desires. Understanding the significance of childhood in our lives is the true essence of National Children’s Month. National Children’s Month is celebrated to remind all children and adults of their right to a carefree childhood and to become educated adults in the future. The purpose of children’s month is to rethink the best ways to raise children and how to nurture them with good values.

1st Quarter

     

This quarter was really difficult for me. It's wasn’t easy for me to re-adopt this form of learning. As i stepped onto our clasroom, I was to shy to speak  because i've always been a quiet person and  i don't know half of my classmates. It was difficult for me to adjust to the new environment, new classmates, and our new lessons during the first week of school. There were quizzes and performance tasks in a variety of subjects every day. I'm not always happy with my scores and performance, but I know that's normal, and I'm just afraid of failing. I was very systematic with my time because some of them required a lot of effort. I made a schedule and allotted time to ensure that the tasks were accomplished before the deadline. Despite the distractions, I was able to maintain my focus on my objectives. I'm glad I made new friends, which I didn't expect.

Maintaining a clean environment through proper waste disposal and proper waste segregation. When we segregate waste, it reduces the amount of waste that reaches landfills.
