The first one was in Persaro's in Ortigas; the second one was in Sonoma, Sta. Rosa Laguna and the third was in Gyud Fud UP Diliman, Quezon City. Although the first AGU Recreation activity was a session on Pabalat Art, led by Prof. Anna Marie Hernandez Bautista, it inspired us to explore hobbies we share in common. The Pabalat Art session was attended by members of the TOB Book Club Sonyeondan and the TOB Southietas tribe ( a group of TOBbies living and are based in the South of Manila and Southern Luzon.</span></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">For the Sta.

These sessions have given us an opportunity to bond and express our fangirling in creative ways. Speaking for myself, I have had the honor and privilege to meet and interact with women in my age group. We come from different backgrounds but we are ARMY.

Learning pottery alongside TOBbies makes me confident. I strive to be better at my handbuilding skills. Using the handbuilding technique, I have made pinch pots and trinket dishes. Moving up one level higher, I attempted to make a pen holder using the slabbing technique with surface decorations.</span></span></div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz5dAI1rT7U9ACu9M3r40FBZnvmYviYfofdvxlIKi2mQHX_3ZIJSw50azuzq-TI2aiSzuhCz6EbT1KikvwSUmLYVki4wLovTvlt78obfEwpmKjEUiG7DF2nwOubhAZkRhRMYGX5xrgtYlXj2IDKSnyoT6sxvhAJ6lsppilhmRSQiN6edgP7eRH/s1436/moon.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1354" data-original-width="1436" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz5dAI1rT7U9ACu9M3r40FBZnvmYviYfofdvxlIKi2mQHX_3ZIJSw50azuzq-TI2aiSzuhCz6EbT1KikvwSUmLYVki4wLovTvlt78obfEwpmKjEUiG7DF2nwOubhAZkRhRMYGX5xrgtYlXj2IDKSnyoT6sxvhAJ6lsppilhmRSQiN6edgP7eRH/s320/moon.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />At the time, I was missing Jin so much I made a half moon and seven stars to embose on my pen <a style="cursor: pointer;" tabindex="-1"></a>holder.

When Brianna, a high school student from St. Scholastica's Academy Marikina hit me up on Messenger asking about a writing workshop, I offered to do one via online. After months of planning, it pushed through!</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">As a priming activity, I sent her a link to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is1HcE2kh0s" target="_blank">a video recording on developing character</a> and made her a member of our<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1394784267586074"> Early Readers' Project</a> on Facebook. That is why, when I met her and her club members online, they had questions prepared for me.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

To quote: <i>What is the best approach in writing a story for children, the way Dr. Seuss wrote stories or Roald Dahl's?</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The question shows the young writer's reading influences, her knowledge of children's literature and the desire to write her own story for children. To this question, I responded by telling them the purpose of Dr. Seuss and Roald Dahl as I perceive them and my own context as a reader of their books.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">While both writers put forth a world of their own in their writing, Dahl is more purposive of retelling and presenting stories of childhood experiences. Dr. Seuss makes use of riddles, word play and whimsy in his storytelling which is perfect for learning phonics, phonemes in a fun and playful manner. So I asked the student her purpose in writing a story. When the intent and purpose are determined, the path to the writing process is clearer.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As a librarian, I can't help but wish to send a feedback to the teachers, parents and librarians of St. Scholastica's Academy Marikina. They have in their midst readers who dream of writing stories for children younger than them with the hindsight of their influences on books they have read growing up. Imagine what richness in stories they can bring if they too are knowledgeable of local writers! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Our work never ends. </span></p> <script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>Zarah C.

You came in with a lot of knowledge and you have built so well on those foundations, seeing and making connections, appreciating how what you have been learning can be applied in your own situation. Your Learning Journal in itself is impressive. However much we know there is still more to learn - and we learn from each other. So thank you too for sharing your thoughts and experience so generously too, others have and are benefiting from your thoughts and comments and advice. We said right at the beginning that the workshop is about far more than just ticking boxes, and your engagement throughout is much appreciated.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">As you know, you can continue to access the workshop for 6 months so you will have more time to revisit the conversations and resources.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I wish you, your school and your students every success, enjoy telling those stories.<br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Do keep in touch.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">With best wishes,</span></p><span class="il" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">J</span></span></blockquote><span class="il" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"></span></span>Zarah C.

Recently, I realized that research is a way of knowing. Like Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay (EE) is designed for students to know and understand their process of finding solutions and answers to a research question. Inquiry and Reflection weaves in and out of the Research Design Cycle. A cycle that students, even teachers, have challenges navigating.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">For this year, I have identified strategies and mechanisms to accompany students in the EE. With the support of our DP Coordinator and English Teacher, we have agreed to implement the following:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">1. Utilize the Researcher's Reflection Space on Managebac;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">2. Hold After School Activities for students who are not on-track;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">3. Thinking tools and strategies like the KWL-Inquiry Chart and Annotated Bibliography to document research are requirements;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">4. Dedicate a weekly writing time and consultation with the Teacher Librarian on sources and references needed to prepare for a topic proposal (which will become the Introduction of the essay);</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">5. Express expectations clearly as well as the rubric and marks of progress.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This time, given that I have attended a training in the IB on the supervision of the EE and a refresher course on Direct Instruction and Explicit Teaching, I approach the EE Coordinatorship from an interventionist's perspective. Let's see how things go.</span></p>Zarah C.

Them leaving the team of the new production caused a stir in the fandom. ATLA was marred and mangled once and fans are afraid it would happen again. The fandom grew up charmed and adored by Team Avatar. The world that Brian and Michael, along with Aron, built all those years ago is legendary (close to myth, even) anyone who attempt to change it will suffer the harsh criticism of fans. </span></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">But. I love it.</span></span></p><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I love the cast. I love episode 6 the best and through the splicing and the fusing of episodes from the OG series, the creators of this live action version took the work seriously. They respected the OG material by showing themes that resonated to me from the first time I saw what my then 10 year old boy was so amazed at — a flying bison, until our family’s realization that we were all robbed of Zutara. </span></div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I <a style="cursor: pointer;" tabindex="-1"></a>appreciate the approach and treatment the live action has on gender issues and for showing Aang’s fear and despair. War can drive people to insanity. Humans lose themselves and become monsters we only meet in our nightmares. We see them all here in this live action series. What the characters bring with them in this show is hope that’s fragile and tarnished. There lies its sincerity to do the franchise good.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">I now hope and look forward to a second season.

April’s reappearance shatters his reality, prompting him, April and Bobby to uncover a hidden truth that will change everything.<br /><br />The trio must unite to fulfill their destiny. But an ominous force is closing in on them, one that will stop at nothing to prevent them from completing their mission. The stakes grow darker, threatening not only their lives but the wellbeing of future generations.<br /><br />With time running out and the world’s fate hanging in the balance, fitting in will be the least of April’s concerns. She will need to confront the demons of her past and present, fighting for what she cherishes most.</span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />You can also find out more information on Amazon: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09L1FRK6C/&source=gmail&ust=1708914577572000&usg=AOvVaw3_U1WCls1o_V3WuFo2enQg" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09L1FRK6C/" rel="noreferrer" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/gp/<wbr></wbr>product/B09L1FRK6C/</a> </span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Or check out the author's (very cool-looking) website: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.alexandriapall.com/&source=gmail&ust=1708914577572000&usg=AOvVaw364Jwq9-TkVhBkxYFdwfyw" href="https://www.alexandriapall.com/" rel="noreferrer" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.<wbr></wbr>alexandriapall.com/</a></span><br /></div>Zarah C.

My goal is to lose 10 lbs in 4 months. I started walking for wellness last year and failed miserably. The New Year came and I was rejuvenated. It is still a struggle. Hormones at this stage of menopause is a factor. But, no excuses. I am now 126 lbs. Let's do this!

This is my first book off my BTSxARMY reading list for 2024. Zauner took me to places I have never been to yet like Seoul and states in the US such as Oregon, Philadelphia and New York. In the process, she let me in the spaces of her mind, which is funny and sensitive; and her heart which is vulnerable and strong.</span></span><p></p><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Her narrative voice is tender and honest. Even the most <a style="cursor: pointer;" tabindex="-1"></a>painful events in her life are told in vivid metaphors. Her nostalgia is a well fermented kimchi. This is one of those books where tragedy is elevated as a most beautiful experience. Perhaps because, Zauner’s mother endowed her with the Korean “han” - the ability to be noble, if not, graceful in the face of suffering and grief. </span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Have lots of tissues nearby and if you are still nursing your own wounds and loss over a loved one, have this book for a later reading time. I share many of Zauner’s experiences as I am looking after my elderly parents who are both in need of medical care. Cathartic.</span></div></div>Zarah C.
