SJWMS's Children's Day Celebration . . .

St. John's Wort Montessori School had their "Children's Day Celebration" last Saturday, November 14, 2009 from 2pm to 6pm. This replaced their annual trick or treat celebration so the kids were also in costume but no more scary costumes this time. Most of the kids were in their favorite fairy tale character costumes and super hero costumes. Each level prepared their special dance numbers and even the parents and teachers performed this time.

I was a proud mommy to my two little kids who performed well during their respective presentations. Kaila's performance was getting better and better after each of their presentations. She has really built up her self confidence in performing to a big crowd. Click on the link to see her video. For JM, this is just his second time to perform. It was really better than his first performance during their Linggo ng Wika celebration. I really enjoyed watching him. Click on this link to see his performance. See more of the pictures below and see how the kids enjoyed the party:

Last Saturday, February 21, was the family day in St. John's Wort Montessori School. We were not able to attend the other activities in the morning because both kids were asleep until 11am. I did not bother to wake them up because Kaila will be performing in the afternoon for the cheerdance competition. I don't want any tantrums in the afternoon cause she might not be able to perform in the competition.

We had enough time to prepare and Kaila gamely posed for pictures before we left the house. We went to the school just in time for the cheerdance competition. The highschool and elementary students performed first and the preschool was the finale. I was so anxious and excited at the same time. When it was their time to perform, we were proud parents because Kaila performed well. Here are some pictures taken during the event:

SJWMS' Family Day . . .

I was up early this Saturday morning because today is the Family Day of St. John's Wort Montessori School. Activities will start as early as 8:30 am which includes the cheer dance competition that's why I'm so excited to see Kaila perform again. But I'm still here in front of the computer since I'm having a hard time waking up the two kids that's why I decided to blog first while I give them a few more minutes to sleep.

Gotta go since it's quarter to 8am already. Good luck to the red team!

St. John's Wort Montessori Sports Fest '09

Last January 28 to 30 was St. John's Wort Montessori's sports fest. I attended the first day so that I could witness the parade of colors. The students were divided into four teams and each team has a color designation. Kaila was in team RED. I was so excited to see her in her jerseys. Plus, it'll be my first time to see my little girl to play actively. The first time I saw her join the game I was so anxious and nervous at the same time. I was thinking if she will really run and follow the other rules of the game. I was so happy and proud of my daughter! ! ! They won in most of the games. Here are some pictures taken during the event :

Slumber Party '09

The pre-school department of St. John's Wort Montessori had their annual slumber party last Friday, January 23. As usual, JM joined her Ate Kaila in her school activity but they stayed in separate rooms this time. Both kids enjoyed the activity as they have their stories to tell. Here are some pictures taken by our yaya since we left the two kids in school as the letter to parents indicate that the activity is strictly for the kids only.
