SOT Curriculum’s 5 Laws of Learning
- by admin
This year’s (Level 1) curriculum is going to be different from that of our first couple of years of Preschool homeschooling. As opposed to the last couple of years’s huge ring binder manuals (all 6 of them), I now have a handbook type of manual with 40 pages.
The manual starts off with School of Tomorrow Curriculum’s 5 Laws of Learning:
- Student must be placed at the academic level in each subject where they can perform.
- Reasonable goals must be set each day.
- Students must be controlled and motivated.
- Learning must be measurable.
- Learning must be rewarded.
Gadgets in Homeschooling
- by admin
As technology oriented as our homeschooling family is, I have not really gotten into consideration the probability of using gadgets in our homeschooling sessions. For one, the curriculum that we use is complete in itself. But given the chance that I get hold of good software applications, it would be a nice thing to consider.

Teaching a child to tell time
- by admin
This generation, being a digital age makes for a more challenging task for parents to teach children the concept of time. More often than not, children are no longer as exposed to analog clocks around them. But the truth is, digital or analog, children will have to be taught time one way or another. It really is just a matter of creativity.
Galileo Enrichment Learning Program Presents Giving Children the Winning Edge

Galileo Enrichment Learning Program
- by admin
This homeschooling family was invited to Galileo Enrichment Learning Center in Makati last August 14. As teachers, my husband and I firmly believe that learning is a lifelong process. Even now that we are sold out on the curriculum that we currently use as we homeschool our son, we are still open to other avenues for learning, reinforcement programs specifically, like what Galileo offers.
GALILEO is a meaningful, exciting and fun ENGLISH & MATH enrichment program for children ages 3 to 12. It is a lifetime advocacy that opens minds and enriches lives. These first two lines basically got us listening. We were even more thrilled that during the short orientation that one of the hubby’s professors in Ateneo, Dr. Queena Lee-Chua, is going to be one of the speakers at the upcoming Giving Children the Winning Edge event happening on Oct. 1 & 2, 2010.
Our homeschool class resumed last June 1, 2010
- by admin
This shot was taken last May 31, 2010, the day before we resumed our homeschool class. This little guy was so eager he wanted to start right there and then. But we agreed to start the day after instead. Because it was already late in the afternoon when we browsed through his homeschool materials.
ABCs with Ace and Christi materials
- by admin
Living Heritage Academy is fast. We only placed the order the week before and when I called in to order the alphabet flash cards last week, which I thought was not included in the package, I was told that the ABC’s with Ace and Christi materials were already ready for pick up. This means we are ready to start the school year anytime we want.
