I have been fascinated about <b><i>homeschooling</i></b> for many years now. It was not until last year (2015) that my eldest and I have decided to give it a try. I was in Vietnam doing my volunteer work when we thought about it. So, we decided to do some research.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My eldest was fascinated by the fact that travelling was possible for <b><i>homeschoolers</i></b>. She loved the idea so much that most of her research was leaning to the many possibilities of traveling while studying. As for me, I focused more on finding <i><b>accredited homeschool providers in the Philippines</b></i>. I emailed them to inquire about the possibility of homeschooling my children, the process on how to go about it, and the estimated amount it would entail. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My research led me to a sad news for my eldest daughter. Due to the recent change of Philippines’ educational program to <a href="http://www.teachermomma.com/2013/08/critique-on-k-to-12-curriculum.html" target="_blank">K-12 Curriculum</a>, homeschooling is only possible up to Grade 10. My eldest daughter is already an incoming Grade 11 student. Homeschooling is no longer possible for her. It was really a sad day for her when I broke the news, but we still decided that I should continue my research for her younger siblings. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aside from finding an accredited homeschool provider by the government, I wanted to find one that wouldn’t be a burden to our budget. After many inquiries, prayer, reading blog posts and curriculum reviews, and interviewing homeschooling parents in my circle, I have finally found one that would suit our homeschooling needs – <a href="http://www.sotphil.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">School of Tomorrow, Philippines</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>School of Tomorrow, Philippines</i></b> is one of the oldest homeschool providers in our country, if not the world (they use PACES from <a href="http://www.aceministries.com/homeschool/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Accelerated Christian Education, Inc.</a>). They have been around since 1978 here in the Philippines. So far, they are the most affordable among all the homeschool providers in the Philippines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My two younger children are not yet enrolled with them. To be exact, they are yet not finished with their <a href="http://www.teachermomma.com/2016/04/diagnostic-tests-for-my-future.html" target="_blank">diagnostic tests</a>. Since it is summer, I didn’t want to pressure them. I want them to enjoy the season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my next future posts, I will talk about my reasons why I wanted to homeschool my children and why I chose School of Tomorrow, Philippines as my homeschool provider.</div>

I created this poem as to fulfill one of the activities assigned in our class in <strong>Social Dimensions of Education</strong>. The task was to compose a song or write a poem about achieving peace and harmony. I opted to write a poem since I am not musically gifted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A Way to Peace and Harmony</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hearing news of war and famine;<br />Makes me want to go to heaven.<br />But since I have my life to live;<br />I got no choice but to strive and heed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many times, I prayed for peace;<br />And often times, I would want to cease.<br />But since I wanted to be hopeful;<br />I always opted to be joyful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a time I thought about harmony;<br />And then I thought it was all about money.<br />But since money does not make me happy;<br />I always find happiness with my family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do we really achieve peace and harmony;<br />When people stopped caring about everybody?<br />Can it be achieve with hope and prayer;<br />When godly people are now so rare?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for me, I think there is a way;<br />To achieve peace and harmony today.<br />That is to pray to God and believe;<br />And live our lives to love and give.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am not good in writing poems but I tried my best to write one. It is hard when you are tasked to do something that requires talent and creativity.</div>

It’s been two months since I have started going back to school with the intention of becoming a teacher someday. And within that span of time, my definition of a teacher and teaching has drastically changed: from the notion of being the easiest thing to do to being the most challenging and noblest profession of all time. It practically turned my world upside down!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though my definition of a teacher and teaching has significantly changed over time, my dream of becoming one has not. I still want to become a teacher, not just an ordinary teacher but an effective one. I want to effectively teach to my future students so that I will become the person that is truly deserving to be called a teacher.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the course of my lessons, I have been reflecting on all the things I have learned. One of the things that have caused me to think is when I came across the following quote: “Teaching is something that takes place only when learning does.” For me, I agree on it 100% completely but I think that you need to add more precise words on it so that one can correctly define “effective teaching.” With that quote, it seems that teaching was simply defined only as transferring of knowledge. When a student learned what was taught, then that is teaching already. But for effective teaching to transpire, Michael Signal, an eHow Contributor said it best: “Teachers must know what students need to learn, how to best teach it and how to tell if they have learned it.” It has to be strategic and result oriented.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi95SMNnYtt80qs02XHsP09m2JDYVWf-MJNcJskXGqzMyOz0IlU7Ykz7iKDmLDGjqh2_oN4A_R8eeacuab8J3m8rhqN5qI9BeY64UMPhDjxowFHMsZzc28xykJAmemDDb_ZngUtxE7GLCg/s1600/stack-of-books.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi95SMNnYtt80qs02XHsP09m2JDYVWf-MJNcJskXGqzMyOz0IlU7Ykz7iKDmLDGjqh2_oN4A_R8eeacuab8J3m8rhqN5qI9BeY64UMPhDjxowFHMsZzc28xykJAmemDDb_ZngUtxE7GLCg/s1600/stack-of-books.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Personally, I believe that effective teaching is not only to cause your students to learn but for them to understand the value of the knowledge they have acquired and being able to think independently with it. Aside from that, the teacher must be able to see the end results of what he has taught them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, for learning to actually happen, the teacher must know the importance of effective teaching. He must be aware that teaching effectively is causing the learner to become an independent thinking individual that will become a well-rounded being and be an asset to the society. Thus, effective teaching can truly define a teacher.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Therefore, to become an effective teacher, I must be well aware of the importance of effective teaching. I must know what I need to teach to my students (learning objective), how to best teach my subject matter (teaching approaches, strategies, methods and techniques) and how to tell if they really have learned from it (assessment).</div>

Last school year 2012 – 2013, the <strong>Department of Education</strong> rolled out the implementation of the new K to 12 Curriculum in the Philippines. It is now the new basic education curriculum for our country. Based on general knowledge, as to what the general public has understood, the K to 12 program is for the betterment of our children’s future and for some, it is an additional two years of financial obligation for parents. So, what is K to 12 Curriculum? What does it really mean to us, the Filipino people, and our children? Personally, am I in favor of this new basic education program?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <strong>K to 12 Curriculum</strong> is the latest basic education program from the Department of Education (DepEd). It is a hybrid of the previous curriculum which emphasizes on making the Filipino graduate ready for employment and/or higher education. The graduate is envisioned to be equipped with the 21st Century Skills such as (a) learning and innovation skills, (b) information, media and technology skills, (c) effective communication skills and (d) life and career skills. They aimed to accomplish this by having a mandatory kindergarten and an additional two years to acquire set of skills that will help them get employment after education or adjust to their chosen field of specialization in college.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most parents reacted negatively about <strong>the K to 12 program of the Department of Education</strong>. The additional two years for high school was perceived as another year of financial obligations. They took it as a burden rather than something beneficial. They believed that the government should focus more on providing additional number of textbooks with at least 1 book is to 1 pupil/student ratio, more conducive classrooms, more schools and a lot of efficient teachers rather than having two more years for the students.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then after several information drives about the K to 12 curriculum and how it will benefit the public, more and more parents are reacting favorably to the new basic education program. Some parents who could not afford college are now confident that their children will be already employable after he graduates. Knowing that their children will acquire world-class quality skills makes it appealing especially to the masses. It sparks hope that their children can land a job after all his schooling.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for me, I was negative at first too. Being a solo parent to three children, all of them are already under this program (my eldest being the first batch of Grade 7); I was totally unfavorable towards this. Sending three children to school is no joke. Financially, even for now, is already taxing. But then again, I realized that the K to 12 curriculum is indeed very beneficial for the Filipino people. Since most parents could not send their children to college, the hope of employment and acquiring skills shed a light of hope to parents. They will be confident that their children will become self-sufficient and may take jobs for a living or for college expense.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My children and I might encounter several financial struggles along the way but in the end, long term wise, my children will end up as graduates equipped with the 21st century skills and will become at par with other nations. Aside from that, I believe that through the K to 12 program of DepEd, they will be now guided properly to which course they should be getting in college. I don’t want them to end up like me taking a course just because and ended up regretting about it a few years later after graduation. I believe that this program will bring new dimensions to the country’s future work force, a new hope of world-class citizens and therefore, a new hope for the Philippines!</div>

In the Philippines, pupils are required to memorize the "Panunumpa Sa Watawat Ng Pilipinas" or the <strong>Pledge of Allegiance to the Philippine Flag</strong> to show patriotism to our country. <strong>Panunumpa Sa Watawat Ng Pilipinas</strong> was written in Filipino and is therefore expected to be recited as such but an English version was also provided.</div>

If you have noticed, I have written a different blog post the other day notifying all my readers that this blog will serve as my “emo” blog of some sort but now, after a few days, I have thought of another drastic change. I exported all my posts from a not so updated blog that I have installed in blogger to this ever changing blog of mine (and I hope this is the last time)!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes folks! I am going to make this blog the new domain for my “education blog.” I will try to document all my struggles as a mom to help my children with their assignments. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wow! Sounds so challenging eh?! Oh well, as for me, I find it VERY challenging because I am not a perfect mom. So, if you find my journey worth the read, please subscribe. Let’s mingle all the way. ;) OK?</div>

Non-count nouns are best identified by their syntactic properties, and especially in contrast with count nouns. The semantics of mass nouns are highly controversial. Given that different languages have different grammatical features, the actual test for which nouns are mass nouns may vary between languages. In English, mass nouns are characterized by the fact that they cannot be directly modified by a numeral without specifying a unit of measurement, and that they cannot combine with an indefinite article (a or an). Thus, the mass noun "water" is quantified as "20 liters of water" while the count noun "chair" is quantified as "20 chairs". However, mass nouns (like count nouns) can be quantified in relative terms without unit specification (e.g., "much water," "many chairs").</blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Mass Nouns Examples</b>:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The “me” theme fits there more than here. And because of that sudden change (thanks to the <b>Jillian1</b> coupon code from GoDaddy), I decided to find a suitable topic or niche for this blog. I wanted this one to be different since I already have a lot of blogs talking on general issues, women, children and some.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now what came to mind?! Tadah!! I decided to make this into an <b>educational blog</b>!! Not that I am planning to go homeschooling with my children but this is more of writing about the assignments, projects and other school related necessities that my children has. I am also going to share educational resources I found both offline and online. Will also share some of my own new discoveries.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Honestly, this idea was actually inspired by the fact that some assignments my children has could not be found online especially those from their Filipino Subjects! That means you will be expecting a bi-lingual blog! I will try to write in “Tagalog” – our national language to cater to some Filipino related subjects. Then the rest will be written in English.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, isn’t this an exciting feat?! Well, I haven’t accomplished anything yet but surely this would be interesting. I am ecstatic about the idea!

When I learned that a promo at GoDaddy was up, I immediately grabbed my debit card. Then I registered this domain www.sahmako.com inspired by one of my online pseudonyms - <strong>SAHMAKO</strong>. <em><strong>Update: I changed domain to www.sahmwrites.com :)</strong></em><br />
<br />
I always wanted to get this domain name but somehow I was hesitant. But today, nothing come up my mind except this, so I have no choice but registered this domain since I felt that its time. Anyway, I am not sure what I am going to blog about here but surely this will cater many of my personal thoughts on life in general aside from my family. ^_^RUBY Cabertehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09895275770355779588noreply@blogger.com4
