Planet Justine Mars

I saw this post from the FB wall of a fellow blogger who is also a teacher in Xavier Grade School. She is actually my source on educational activities for my kiddo, I'm so glad I visited her FB wall!

The Kumon method is the mathematics and reading educational method which is practiced in Kumon's learning centers. Kumon is a math and reading enrichment program. Students do not work together as a class, but progress through the curriculum at their own pace, moving on to the next level when they have achieved mastery of the previous level. Students are guided by trained Kumon Instructors and Assistants.

Will definitely enroll Justine on this 2 week free trial. CDO moms out there you might be interested also. :)

Today is Justine's first day of monthly exam... During exam week his schedule is earlier than the usual class schedule. On our way to his school he blurted a random request. He ask if he could have his haircut after his exam. He remembered his tita Ezel who visited last Sunday at the house, saying he looks handsome when his hair is cut short and that he should cut his hair now coz its already long. And he even requested that we will go to Reyes Haircutters and not at the nearby barbershop at his school. I answered okay we will go there. Taking advantage of his good mood since ive been convincing him for a long time to cut his hair short.

However, I never expect there was hidden agenda for that request also. After his exam he happily came and mention another request... He told me that his hungry and we should eat first at Jollibee near Reyes Haircutters. Clever kid you bet! He still remember that there was a Jollibee near that salon and so he pick that place to cut his hair. And so wish granted...
We went to Jollibee, he had his snack and I had my brunch... Photo below is our drinks, I had my fave coffee float and Justine tried the new University float Blue.


Unluckily for me... Theres a Jolly Kiddie meal toy available. The Green Force Collection for the boys and cherry toys for the girls. Thank God he didn't ask me to buy all 2 choices for The Green Force Collection. And he just choose 1 which is the energy spinner.


After Jollibee of we went to Reyes Haircutters of which right accross the block. We waited for long because there's a lot of costumers. When its his turn, I should the barber an image from my phone coz I save his desired hairstyle.
He actually tried this cut before check it out here for the story behind it. :D While the barbers busy cutting his hair, he keeps on telling not to cut it too short but I secretly told the barber to cut it shorter. This time it was just hair scissors use not the electric hair shaver. He was also used with blades to shave down little hairs. Good thing he is so behave coz I was really afraid he might get cut.


After that he enjoyed much the hair wash... His laugh filled the whole salon. Justine is really a ticklish kid I dont know where he got it since im not a ticklish person.

Justine's class today is in the morning since its a first Friday of the month. Every first Friday, his school has a mass and catholic students are encouraged to attend. And then class will resume right after the mass for the Pre-school morning and afternoon session. Friday is also PE day and his assignment was to bring ingredients for a play dough. Their activity was to make a play dough out of flour, salt and oil mixed together and then hand-knead after.

When its time to go home, every kids that comes out from the classroom wears a big smile and busy telling their moms what they made. This is not Justine's first in making a play dough but he is still very excited and  enthusiastically telling me what his teacher thought them today.

After arriving home, Justine and I played with the play dough he made. We have form lots of food. He then reminded that his teacher told them not to eat the dough but just play with it. Hmmm... he do listen to his teacher! :D

Here are some of his art of which he made alone...
