Helping Dale With School

Note:  This post has Filipino words.



Since Dale is now in Grade 7, everything levels up.  So here comes Filipino and AP (Araling Panlipunan, also known as Makabayan).  What we do is study them beforehand so when he comes to school, he knows some of the answers to the questions in the book.  One of his assignments was making his own fable.  I never thought that he would try making one, because I have always done his assignments (Yes, I am a bad mother!).  I was shocked when he said, "Here you go.  I think I have corrections, Mom!"

While I read what he made, I forced myself not to laugh.  I told him that we're going to fix it, but he did great.  Read what he made below:

Isang araw, mayroong maliit na pagong.Siya ay sa isang baybayin.Siya ay gutom at nagsimulang maghanap para sa pagkain.Sa kanyang paraan para sa paghahanap para sa pagkain niya nakilala ang isang sanggol alimango.Alimango ang sinabi "Saan ka pupunta?"."Ako na naghahanap para sa pagkain."Sinabi pagong ang."Alam ko ang isang lugar na puno ng pagkain."Sinabi ang alimango "Sa Aqua Cove! Makikita ninyo ang maraming ng pagkain doon, ngunit mag-ingat, ang panganib sa iyong paraan, ako gutom. Ko dapat dumating sa iyo.".

Kaya ang pagong at ang alimango ay nagsimulang ang kanilang mga paghahanap upang mahanap ang Aqua Cove upang makahanap ng pagkain upang punan ang kanilang stomachs. Ngunit sa kanilang paraan ay dumating pating isang! Sila ay tumakbo palayo mula sa pating, at pating ang chased kanila. Ang pagong at ang alimango May stuck sa isang patay na dulo. "Huwag matakot." Sinabi pating ang "Ako ay isang vegetarian". Kaya sila ay dumating at sinabi, "At bakit ka habol sa amin?". "Dahil alam ko ang pinakamabilis na paraan upang Aqua Cove." Sinabi pating, "Ito ay karapatan sa dulo ng kasalukuyang tabi sa amin." Kaya sila jumped sa kasalukuyang at off ang sila pumunta!

Ang mga guys naabot Aqua Cove tulad ng pating ang kanilang sinabi. "Salamat ng pating." Kanilang sinabi. At pagkain ay delicous! At sila ngayon pahinga sa kanilang mga bellies sa buong.

Ang Wakas.

When he passed his work, I included his original work so his teacher can see that he really did his homework, and maybe laugh a little.  :)

Anyway, some homework or projects require some artwork and creativity.  I found a website that sells artistic tapes.  The tapes can be used as borders or just something to spruce up a journal or poster.  I haven't had the opportunity to purchase one, but I think from the pictures, it is a very cute way to be creative.  One tape is a hundred bucks, and some are bundled so you can get them much cheaper.  They're called Washi Tapes and you can check them out from Hey Kessy. :)
