One of my favorite part of my job is decorating my classroom. It is where I could practice my artistry and think of ideas to make my classroom attractive to the eyes of my pupils. I want my pupils and myself to be inspired in working whenever we are inside the class.
These are some decorations that I made so far... I got some ideas from the internet and added some personal touches.
*The Welcome Note:
*Kindergarten:
*Prayers:
*Subject Charts and Posters:
I use felt paper in the borders. When coloring the posters, i use oil pastel, and crayons.
*Special Delivery:
It is were I pin the notes, letters, and memos for the day. Other important announcements can also be placed here.
*We Have Class Harmony!
A design that teaches the pupils good values and at the same time, lets them practice in reading.
*Class Officers and Birthday Corner:
This drawing was made in year 2008 and is being used until now. Pictures of pupils with the date of their birthdays are placed on the stars.
*Other designs:
And there you saw some of the decorations in my classroom. I Hope you like it! Please do tell me what you think.
During the tragic bus hostage crisis in Quirino Grandstand, our country experienced negative criticisms and judgement. Everybody was feeling so down. It was that time that I "stumbled" on Andrew Philip's video on Youtube, defending the Filipinos.
I was so touched that a Canadian like him sympathizes with us. When I checked his channel, I found out that it wasn't the first time that he stood for us. He also defended us from Adam Carolla's rude remarks. I wanted to know more about him.
Then I watched his music videos and covers. He was trying to learn the Filipino language! He even had some covers of Tagalog songs.
I also learned that he stayed with a Filipino family in Canada that's why he knows some things about our culture. He also supported Venus Raj in the Ms. Universe Pageant 2010.
Then I decided to make a drawing of him... That is to thank him for his support and kindness.
I was so glad when he sent me a message, thanking me for that. I was very happy that he appreciated it.
It was October, 2010 when I learned that he will visit the Philippines to attend the Fashion Week. I was very excited, I wanted to meet him! But the date when he arrived (October 25, 2010) was the Election Day so I was not able to meet and greet him at the airport. I was so sad while viewing his pictures with his fans on Facebook.
I made another drawing and posted it on my Youtube channel:
Then my most kilig day arrived! October 30, I went to Mall of Asia to watch the Fashion Show and also to meet him. There I was able to see and meet Andrew, talk to him and take pictures with him! I felt I was the luckiest fan in the world! hehehe... ^_^
He signed one of my drawings and put some dedications on it.
I also met other fans of Andrew and joined Andrew Philip Council (APC).
Bonding with Andrew Philip doesn't end there, for I had known another side of Andrew as I attend APC Party and some social works. Andrew is not just a good-looking model and an awesome artist. He also has a heart for children and less-fortunate ones.
He stayed in the country for several months. And everytime there's an APC event, I tried to attend (with or without Andrew) for I had found new friends. I enjoyed their company and learned a lot from them.
APC Christmas/Videoke Party
When the day came that he had to return to his homeland, I felt sad. But as I thought of the good times I had with him and the APC, I felt better. I was lucky enough to meet and spend time with my idol and crush ♥_♥.
