A Day w/ the Superkulitz

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. :*
