Every year, parents of Montessori schools are encouraged to observe their child during class hours. It’s mandatory for new students, and optional for old students. I have already observed Luigi in Centro last year. This morning, I observed Miko, from 8-9am. He worked on dynamic addition of thousands. He knows how the materials are supposed…
In a previous post, I have told the story of how Dan is always training Miko to tell time. I don’t know if he succeeded beyond his expectations, or pinagloloko lang kami ni Miko. At around 12:30 this afternoon, Miko looked at the clock and said “Daddy, it’s half past twelve!”
This afternoon, the Centro Montessori Glee Club joined 4 other choirs for a “concert” at the Claret School. Their choir masters held their recital, wherein they showcased their own choirs. Centro’s glee club members were the youngest. They sang 2 songs: Infaag and Cover The World With Love. Then all the other paticipants sang for…
Luigi has finished his piano recital piece for next year’s recital, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. He sometimes plays this in school. This morning, his classmate told his teacher that he can play it, so Ms. Jaja asked Luigi to play for the class. After a little prodding (just a little, mind you) he did. Everyone…
Dan has been teaching Miko to tell time. It takes him a long time, and some coaching before he says his answer. This morning, when Dan was bringing them to school, Miko saw the digital clock in the car. He proudly said “Daddy, it’s 7:35! … Daddy, I like this clock!”

Stop!” so I stop… then “Again mommy” Nowadays, his expression has progressed to, well, something like this… “Yes…there! … Oh yeah!… Oh yeah!… I like it!… Don’t stop!… Oh…
Luigi had a sugat in his knee recently. Miko asked him, “Kuya is your sugat still painful?”“Not anymore.” “What about if I punch it?”
Sometimes during dinner, we make it a rule to speak in Filipino while eating. Times like these, Luigi tends to be quiet. Si Miko madaldal pa rin. Kanina, after Luigi was done with his meal, he turned to me and in all seriousness said “Peeya, meron po ba tayong dessert?” I told him that even…
We had lunch at Heaven n Eggs, the bugoys, me, Dan, and his partners. One of them ordered Vigan Longganisa (ang sarap ng itsura!). Miko was looking at it, so he offered it to Miko. Ayaw. “It looks like cat poo!”
