Yesterday,
February 10, 2012, we went to Pedro “Oloy” N. Roa Sr. Elementary
School in Calaanan, Cagayan de Oro City to implement our I Love to
Read program for our Elective 4 – Project Management. Upon entering
the school, I found out that it's one of the schools that were
extremely affected by the typhoon Sendong last December 16, 2012.
*sigh* It's really awful and it cause them a very hard time –
maybe, hardest time of all. But fortunate enough, the school is
already in the stage of fixation.
Anyway,
I'm gonna tell you about the fun we had there yesterday with my
co-organizers of the program and the pupils there.
As
we entered their classroom, we were very surprised because the pupils
stood up and greeted us “Good afternoon, visitors!”. Oi, I miss
that line, it's the greetings I've lived for so many years in my
elementary and high school to attract and impress visitors. Haaha.
So, let's continue. When we fully stood up in the classroom premise,
I can see in their eyes that they are really excited. In fact, they
kept on looking at us. Hmm.. I am a bit doubtful about the reason why
they keep on looking, is it because we came? Or is it because of the
foods we brought? Haaha, well actually, we brought foods for them, a
lot of candies, sandwiches, chocolate pasties, juices and some
cookies, peanuts and jelly. Of course, we know that it's the kiddos
favorite prizes of all activities we come to organize. Factually,
even in keeping them silent, you need to offer them prizes and then,
there, all will follow. Oh 'di ba? Nakakahiya naman, mas effective
teacher pa si Wiggles Chocolate kaysa sa ako. Teehee. In there, we
sang Sampung Palaka and with all the pupils dancing with it, we
played Read-a-word chaired by me (where the contestant is chosen by
passing the crown while everyone is singing and when we signal stop!
The crown holder will read the
word given), we listened to the story “Rainbow Zebra”
while Hope and Shiela read the story for all of us, we played
pick-a-fruit with a question of the story on the back of each fruit
pictures pasted on a picture of a tree, and we take pictures. Fun,
fun, fun! Indeed, it's really means happiness because we laugh to the
max. Some of the kids also kissed our chicks (me and Rhiza) and shook
our hands. Haaha, artista na diay ko, langga? *Laugh*
The
time we had there is just two hours but it filled my whole day with
fun and smiles. In a way that it is away from school, away from work,
away from the sight of the busy traffic, away from pressure, away
from depression. Just an “open happiness”. Haaha, coca-cola?
Thank
you, Grade I – Daisy, Pedro “Oloy” N. Roa Sr. Elementary
School!
Mmmmwuah.
