CDSMMS CLASS OPENING, SUCCESSFUL

POST FROM https://www.facebook.com/casadesanmiguelmontessori/ 

The first week of school is successful. We'd like to thank the parents, students, teachers, school personnel, and administrators for having diligently worked together for a great school year start. To all Miguelians, let our commitment to becoming excellent and responsible be kindled in our hearts. Together, we can surely have a wonderful year ahead!

BACK TO SCHOOL 2016 @ Casa de San Miguel Montessori School

The road to school is rocky but the ultimate goal of anyone who enters is to achieve excellence and wisdom. The road reminds the Miguelians that in achieving great things, they have to strive and to struggle. They must furthermore cling to the lovely values instilled in them by their educators who are so willing to guide them.

We love schooling. That may be disagreeable to some but for students who committed themselves to lifelong learning, those are words that excite them. It's June again and families are becoming busier in preparation for their kids' return to schools. The smell of new school appliances ignites children's motivation and great longing to see their friends and teachers. The time for vacation or unwinding has quickly elapsed and whatever fun and extraordinary jaunt in so many places it might have provided, nothing beats the special space schooling has occupied in kids' hearts. That is a natural reaction of the body towards the beginning of a new significant event in life.

Like any institution, a school is a self-sustaining community. It requires citizens who harmonize and collaborate through its rules and by its rewards. Being a student of Casa de San Miguel Montessori School (CDSMMS), from a teacher's perspective, is something overwhelmingly associated to excellence and colossal academic achievements. When students attain mastery of content and skills, the community itself rejoices and the achievements generated are tantamount to the school's clear statement of reputation. How is this quality education sustained? The teachers of the school are so dedicated, competent, and caring. In CDSMMS, for an instance, students who transfer to other schools are common. After a year, those students would come back and confirm the advanced curriculum in CDSMMS they had enjoyed before. They would say that lessons they encountered in other schools had already been tackled in CDSMMS; consequently, they exceptionally excel in many subjects. 

While schooling may be difficult for Miguelians, this caring community ensures that learning effectively transpires. It can be remembered when Plato, a Greek philosopher had an inquisitive student. The student wanted to have the same wisdom which Plato possessed and embodied. One day, Plato invited the learner to join him in the river. They immersed themselves in the rushing water. Plato held the student's head and forcefully pushed it down the water. The student tried to resurface to gasp for breath but Plato resisted. When the man could no longer take it, the philosopher set his head free, saying, "Learning is like gasping for breath. You need to struggle to have it." From then on, the student was enlightened.

This coming class resumption, The Miguelians, CDSMMS official campus paper, hopes that Miguelians' schooling will be fun and more engaging. Students' return in schools signify new challenges and achievements to come. Kudos, Miguelians!

ALONG THE BOULEVARD

Dark, dusty clouds gnarl the firmament 
And cast shadows, exude om'nous scent;
All men scamper beneath the old trees bent,
Fearing the wind and the storm it's sent.

Lights lingered then left, then lost our sight
In the dreariest darkness of night.
Roaring thunders, scintillating scythes
So deafening, so dazzlingly bright. 

Cold big drops outside drop drip drop drip...
Mom and kids have hot porridge to sip.
T'is a mem'rable bonding they'll keep
Till the raging storm lulls them to sleep... 

*This poem was written upon seeing very dark clouds like boulders covering Bacoor as seen at Molino Boulevard (now Bacoor Boulevard) yesterday around 6pm.

WHEN IT RAINS IN SCHOOL

                            When the rain drops trickle down my temples 

I remember the very day in school I trembled. 

I trembled because I saw new faces

And felt a bit shaky with my new shoe laces.

I dropped my fresh-from-factory black bag

And thought of niceties I might about brag.

My classmates and I exchanged pleasantries

Till we shared our packed milk and cookies.

What a nice day for me, I wildly thought

With these school supplies my Mom for me bought,

And with friends I've constantly sought

And knowledge so carefully in me wrought.

Here she comes! She's walking briskly!

The beautiful teacher looked so witty and spunky!

I fixed my polo and quickly flattened my back

And felt my hair, then, pulled my right sock.

Good morning, children! So softly spoken.

Everybody chuckled, silence was broken.

That's how my wondrous schooling started...

                               When the dark sky's ice slowly melted.

NEW TEACHER AT CDSMMS CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF HEROISM

“Heroism is more appreciated when it is done for the helpless and the poor.” A new teacher at Casa de San Miguel Montessori School (CDSMMS) was found attending to a wounded street child beside McDonald’s parking area in Talaba IV, May 11.

It was around 8am when she was seen cleaning and bandaging the bleeding right foot of the boy named Alvin. According to her, the boy’s foot was lacerated by a broken softdrink glass. It has been two weeks already since she spotted Alvin walking lamely and began visiting him to clean his foot every morning before heading to school and every afternoon after work.

According to the new teacher, she is a member of the Philippine Red Cross. She is a fresh graduate from a university in Manila. Find out who she is, dear Miguelians, when classes resume in June!

The Need for K to 12: A Friendly Guide for the Miguelians (and for all junior high completers)

GEARED UP. The school offers its programs for Grade 11 for S.Y. 2016-2017

      Has anybody explained to you the essence of K to 12? Did you even take time to research on what it is you are embarking on? The Miguelians then would like to expound these things to you in a way that even your skeptic mom and dad would be convinced. Ready?
        The Facebook page of the Department of Education (DepEd), if you know, has been plagued with complaints and depressing comments about the implementation of the K to 12 program. Complaining has become a part of a democratic country, indeed. They resent the government’s firmness in carrying it out without having fully furnished schools in terms of equipment, facilities, and learning resources such as textbooks and modules. They lament on the financial struggle they will face the moment they enroll their children to Senior High Schools. TV documentaries even reveal vividly the sad fate of those who would not be able to make it to Grade 11 due to poverty, despite the government’s promises of available scholarships.
      Such grief is real but K to 12 program, signed into law in 2013, has so many benefits to offer. It’s a form of change that will certainly instigate empowerment among the youth and eventually progress in the country. Through K to 12, which has four major tracks, namely, Academic, Tech-Voc Livelihood, Sports, and Arts and Design according to DepEd Secretary Armin Luistro, ‘students can be aware of choosing the tract that suits their interest while at the same time matches the available resources as well as job opportunities.’ Moreover, in an article by Isagani Cruz published by The Philippine Star last year, he explained the three reasons why three years have been added to the basic education cycle.

First of all, it is not enough, whether students will work abroad or not, to be just competitive. It’s now necessary to become globally competitive college graduates because in other countries, everybody has to complete at least 12 years of pre-university education. Prior to the infusion of this program, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) had already planned and tried to revise the college curriculum to align it to those of ASEAN countries. Definitely, nobody wants to be left behind when it comes to innovating the education landscape, right? Nobody wants to be disadvantaged. Also, before K to 12 was even conceived, Philippine graduates had hardly known college curriculum; consequently, for an instance, Engineering majors had to waste time learning Calculus (Isagani, 2015).

Second, the root of the prevalent unemployment or underemployment has constantly bothered us. Graduates are either too young to be employed or unskilled to work. Thanks to the Technical Education and Skills Development  Authority (TESDA) because that deficiency can be remedied---but money issue is still disturbing. K to 12 has been implemented to address that dilemma.

Lastly, entrepreneurship in the country needs to be catapulted to a new height. What’s the common reason---not overpopulation---of so much poverty in Metro Manila? Lack of jobs and necessary skills, and illiteracy. The youth therefore have to be engaged in self-sustaining activities which can contribute to their and to the Philippine growth. We hear a lot of real life stories that confirm how Filipinos can alleviate poverty by getting into small or big scale businesses. Before they were able to succeed in their respective ventures, they had been surely trained and equipped with indispensable knowledge. If graduates do not want to work for other enterprises or companies (or they cannot be hired) then at least, they should be able to establish their own businesses to generate stable income.

The Miguelians would surely love to tell you more about this issue of K to 12 which concerns you as graduates. Feel free to drop us some questions or comments so we’ll know if this has been helpful to you. Bear in mind also that your Alma Mater, Casa de San Miguel Montessori School, is proud of your achievements knowing the fact that it has thoroughly equipped you in academics and in other ways.

OPINION: When a Student-Journalist Walks through the Corridor

Source: www.creativeeducation.co.uk 

...he witnesses a busy quiz of teachers.

There is one more thing great and laudable about the teachers of Casa de San Miguel Montessori School. Guess what. It's their enduring devotion to their profession, not because they are entirely driven by the need to work but more importantly, they firmly hold on to the fact that competence and efficiency start from the painstaking preparation of what's and how's of teaching. 

Many visitors who wish to ask of the school's offerings and programs would wonder and ask why even during summer teachers are still around---so assiduously busy as if kids have regular classes. Commonly, teachers in many private schools would not be reporting when classes end by March or April to have their sweet vacation in the country's tourist spots. Well, CDSMMS makes the BIG difference. The institution, as a 13-year old Montessori school, takes pride in its teachers and other personnel who work diligently at diverse tasks in preparation for the next academic year. The work involves thorough review of the present curriculum and application of workable revisions, creation of instructional materials and lesson plans, completion of pertinent records regarding the learners, early Brigada Eskwela, and a lot more. 

Despite their eagerness to enjoy the pristine beauty of beaches, to eat delectable halo-halo and ice cream, to do horseback riding, to try out extraordinary river sports, to go hiking and camping, CDSMMS teachers suppress such cravings---not to deprive themselves---but just to ensure that everything will have been put together before students come back for a new year of academic excursion. That's the mark of CDSMMS. That's the meritorious passion of our teachers!

Kids enjoy Montessori experience

BACOOR CITY---The 2-week free trial classes, Batch 1, for preschoolers and incoming Grade 1 to 3 pupils kicked off at Yellow, Green, and Pink Rooms of Casa de San Miguel Montessori School, April 11.
Thirty (30) students were enrolled in the free classes under Casa level to get an early actual experience of the Montessori method of learning. 

Pupils were observed to have mixture of emotions in the first session which ran from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Some kids cried but many expressed delight for the child-friendly interactive manipulative they had. Parents outside the room observed their children through the tainted window.

MORE THAN LEARNING. A three-year old girl delights herself 

in accomplishing little tasks her teachers gave her. With caring 

Montessori teachers around, the learners find schooling not only 

intellectually empowering but also wonderfully fun.

The whole teaching force of the Casa Department led and facilitated the classes. Mrs. Mary Grace Arce, the principal, was even seen with the Casa teachers assisting the pupils in exploring various learning equipment and tools.

CDSMMS yearly offers this short course for children to allow parents to see distinct features and benefits of Montessori as compared to the traditional teaching methods.

Classes have been divided into two batches. The second batch starts on April 25 and ends May 6, 2016.

The school’s office can be contacted at (046) 417-5029  or 09985364536 for more details and inquiries.

LIKE MOTHERS. Teachers create a welcoming ambiance while ensuring learning transpires among the energetic and inquisitive students.

SIMULTANEOUSLY. Pupils do various tasks, unmindful of what others are busy with as the teachers oversee them and provide learning tools which suit their needs and passion.

Fruitfully Fun Learning Continues Here

OPINION: GENUINELY TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION

I’m glad to hear that, teacher. That would typically be said by a satisfied parent who has no greater dream but seeing his or her child transparently progress in school. It is a picturesque scenario worth looking at.

Judiciously, in relation to that, teachers would evaluate the extent of learners’ advancement through years with the latter’s portfolio, results of examinations, records of behavioural patterns, socialization skills, observable and tacit class participation, etc. Even if such means of evaluation may seem both idealistic and pragmatic, we are still constantly bothered by how much learning transpires in every learner, knowing that money, time, motivational effort, and resources are involved in carrying it out. Indeed, it is costly to send a child to school---whether in a public or in a private school---because much should be carefully provided by not only the parents but also by the immediate community which encompasses numerous responsibilities over the child’s safety and development. At home, parents are tasked to supply the physiological needs of a child like nutritious food, decent clothing, secured shelter, etc. The tasks do not merely revolve around those but likewise, parents carry the cross of supporting the child’s moral development in preparation for the realities and emotional challenges the outside world creates everyday.

Having said that schooling is expensive, we wish to assure ourselves that it is worth the spending as we look forward to seeing the children becoming educated in mind and in heart. We desire this kind of transformation in them so they could find good jobs that will stabilize their future. The issue of joblessness has always perturbed the society and one strong root of such is not absolutely illiteracy but lack of genuine appreciation and love for work---indolence and insolence. In here, work is not confined in professional or vocational jobs but is also about students’ darma or responsibilities. Diplomas and other forms of certification, which are generously distributed to the youth, are perfect statements of educational attainment but why are Filipinos poor in knowledge and values, and slack in progress? There is a rampant mess in our education, certainly.

Suppose Juan and Juana are students from a small barrio high school. Juan is a notorious kid in Sapang Bato-Bato High School and he always earns the ire of his teachers. His grades are all flunking and he has been a devoted guest in school’s guidance office for repeated misconduct. On the other hand, Juana is an average learner who is prompt and punctual in the same institution. Not only friendly, she is also generously helpful to her teachers and classmates. Both of them would graduate in April. Why both? Indisputably, it’s because the school cannot continually contain students who have not learned GMRC aside from the required Academics since they would be perpetuating the same inappropriate student conduct. The notion of education for all however applies lavishly as the school knows that all kinds of learners should be treated with utmost inclusiveness. This is not the only mess we wish to obliterate in the education system. We have no enough classrooms, not even chairs to seat on. There are insufficient books and school paraphernalia which make our students incapable of learning effectively. Sky is the limit in restating this perennial dilemma.

Another undying issue is Filipinos’ withering love and respect for virtues and discipline. Corruption in the government offices is contemptible and so is crime and injustice. Garbage disposal and destruction of the environment are indecisively guarded. Road and driving etiquette have been forgotten by people which has resulted to drastic traffic and accidents. Prostitution, human trafficking and even drugs are incessantly strangling the laws of the land, thus, endangering the helpless and marginalized people. Has education ever been employed to vanquish these? Yes, it should have done that but sadly, it does not apply to all---or not yet. The learners are not thoroughly introduced to these realities of life and so they have not been prepared to combat them. What then should education be like and how it should be exhausted to say that the nation is genuinely transformed? It begins at homes then in schools.

Much has been said about smart parenting. Parents are deputized to meet the needs of the children. They must understand that education does not happen alone in school or outside the house. They have the most opportune chance under the roof to influence the way their children think, act, and socialize. More than love they could provide, they have the absolute authority to plan and execute anything for the betterment of the children. Moral instability can be avoided if parents would take time to train them as they grow. They should ascertain that whatever good values they inculcate to them, the children will bring it wherever they go. The school, on the other hand, has to make sure that values are empowered among the learners. Indeed, values are diverse inside the classroom and misunderstandings can happen but teachers can surely find means to unravel all and put them together to build an atmosphere of respect, inclusiveness, and harmony. As teachers impart indispensable content knowledge to students and evaluate their learning, they are likewise expected to prepare for values integration so that  the latter see the essence of imbibing various concepts to real life; in other words, education should suffice for both the mind and the heart.

To end, we may agree that an ideal learning environment, in order for genuine education to transpire, should possess the majority of the following:

·      Goal-oriented, loving, motivated and intellectually competent educators and school administrators

·      Learning by modeling and doing and not simply by rote

·      Socially, politically, environmentally, morally significant and authentic learning materials

·      Well-engineered and secured facilities and updated equipment

·      Mental and physical activities geared toward creating responsible and cooperative leaders, heroes, advocates, etc. for nation building

·      Commitment to school’s clear statement of vision and mission

·      Harmoniuos parent-school-community relationships

OPINION: What Someone Wishes for Something Wonderful

People try to get the best education they could possibly have. They would hunt for schools which have prominently made names and reputation in the growing education landscape. They would diligently shove themselves into these schools to  experience what it takes to carry the fame the schools have incredibly possessed through the years. Well, this is only for a group of people in the community but not necessary for all because education is a costly commodity that not many can avail of, even if they try hard.

This has been written from a teacher’s standpoint. It is deeply saddening to witness the woeful condition of Filipino children in the streets who for example struggle to survive and to escape poverty everyday by  running through the labyrinth of stopped cars, trucks, buses, and jeepneys. Their lives are wastefully spent as their lovable parents distressingly allow them to roam in the perilously busy roads to earn a peso. This has been an endless issue of negligence of parental duties which results to dumping innumerable dilemma to the government and even to the normal, able, and responsible citizens who have personal lives to attend to. If only these deplorable children could all be sent to concerned Filipinos who could give them better and decent lives, then their parents would possibly realize how unprepared they are to have brought the innocent children to unsure existence.

We wish to help the poor fellows because we can and not because we should but frustratingly, they in general have never expressed willingness to be changed. We see on TV documentaries couples with more than five children whom they could hardly feed or even clothe, yet when they are interviewed, they seem to ignore the embarrassing situation they chose to make; that is, creating life to kill it. Can we consider that humans are like animals---they should multiply for perpetuation? Definitely, yes, but not in this present condition of the impoverished people. The same principle of “don’t-give-what-you-don’t-have” certainly applies.

Now, if we help them, we could perhaps start off by cultivating in them genuine sense of responsibility and ownership. They should learn that life is primarily dependent on the creator or the owner and not on somebody else. They must be strongly encouraged likewise to accept natural responsibilities (e.g., parenthood, fatherhood, motherhood, guardianship) by going back to the real essence of family. Moreover, proper education---that should be inclusive---has this dynamic force to transform their mindset and eventually their actions which in return will provide them beneficial understanding of what life is and how it should be relished.

Analysts, when asked if poverty can hopefully be alleviated in due time, believe that this is very likely to happen if Filipinos would join hands to do it, of course, with the omnipresent government assistance and humane mandate. How? One, business opportunities should be evenly dispersed in different places in the country wherein jobs are continuously generated and decent wages are provided. Two, cheap but quality housing and road projects should be prioritized by the government before relocating poor people from crowded sections of cities to new and economically healthy places. Three, education sector should receive bigger budget so that school administrators, teachers, and other stakeholders can efficiently lay the foundation for youth empowerment. We heard that national security which covers army and police receives so much from the national budget yet it has never directly improved lives of many Filipinos. Furthermore, the number of schools that are built in our country should not be primarily seen as a strong indicator of development, rather, the schools' accessibility, commitment to nation building, inclusiveness, and stringent compliance to standards should be rectified to contribute enormous effects to the desired development. Last, we should always support social welfare and development programs particularly through Department and Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Education (DepEd), and Department of Health (DOH).

How we wish that quality education could cater to the needs of the society and could suffice the demand for national development. How we zealously hope that education would transform Filipinos in heart and in mind. How we wish we would no longer see playful kids in the dangerous highways and streets but witness them in the comforts of their homes and schools. What more can we look forward to for Filipinos, for Filipino children in particular?

           

           

WHEN SOCKS BECAME BACON (An Anecdote)

         Another academic year has just ended.We no longer debate over the fact that students were exhausted in their 10-month stay in the portals of their schools and how much sweat they had yielded to complete the stringent requirements of their teachers. For such a reason, it is surprising to see some of them who almost give up and feel like it is absolutely futile to exert much effort; thus, we will see them hilariously complacent.

One day, in the last quarter, the teacher administered a long test to his Grade 8 students. Some minutes after the , many had placed down their pens to have rest. The teacher noticed that the boys were already standing to go at the back of the room and sit near the airconditioner.

“Balik sa upuan,” the teacher commanded.

The boys insisted that they would not make noise anyway so the teacher just allowed them. When everybody was completely done, the room began to be filled with confounding noise. The boys had gone too blissful discussing non-sense things when suddenly the teacher heard a funny punchline from a guy:

“Ano ba yan, ‘tol, yung medyas mo bacon na!”

The entire class burst into laughter and the teacher, behind his table, furtively looked at his own socks. It’s cuff area was nearly crispy like a bacon. Time indeed would remind us that everything grows old and ugly and that renewal should be painstakingly sought...

CDSMMS to offer ABM, STEM for Senior High

MASTERPIECE. The school has indisputably paved the way of many students to academic excellence through its well-orchestrated curriculum and instructions. Thanks to its dynamic stakeholders and consummate commitment to its mission and vision.

Have you already thought of an ideal school for your child to pursue his or her senior high? YES. You have just read it right! Casa de San Miguel Montessori School (CDSMMS) is now offering Senior High School Program for the next academic year, 2016-2017.

The inception of “Senior High” as required by the K to 12 Program has opened up numerous opportunities for so many Filipino youth to acquire training and viable skills that will consequently allow them to easily get hired in industries here and abroad. As a dynamic educational hub of achievers, CDSMMS is continuously improving it curriculum to offer its best and to keep abreast with the local and international demands.

Granted with the Government Permit (R-IVA) No. SHS-428, s.2015, the school shall accept Grade 11 students for SY 2016-2017 for the academic strandsScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Accounting Business Management (ABM).

With so many of its competitive alumni receiving recognitions from their current schools, CDSMMS also dishes out its pride for its students and the learning environment they have been cultivated in. The school’s commitment to produce intelligent and skillful students is never limited. Likewise, it ensures that indomitable values are imparted to them so that they will affect change once they immerse in the community.

                

This school’s graduates also have attested to enjoying an academic advantage over their classmates from prestigious schools due to their knowledge of difficult topics which were already discussed at CDSMMS.They are pleasantly surprised by their ease of transition to college and of attaining academic awards due to CDSMMS’s advance curriculum.

Moreover, Miguelian’s self-confidence honed through their exposure in various presentations and activities in school has enabled them to showcase their skills and talents with pride. Likewise, their simple environment, vigilant teachers, annual retreat/recollection, and outreach programs have made them humble. These engagements have carefully shaped them with good moral values. The school’s track record has proven, beyond any doubt, that it has endowed its students with a precious gift, academic excellence, and traits which are frequently praised by visiting teachers, students, and parents of other schools..

CDSMMS offers advance topics in sciences and subjects like Calculus, Thesis, Accounting, College Algebra taught by qualified teachers who majored in their subjects.Consequently, the school has produced a board placer in the Nursing board exam, a top 1 UPCAT qualifier in the BS-Biology Program and several graduates of DLSU’s shortened pre-medical course of two and three years instead of four. It has also produced topnotchers in the College Admission test of DLSU-Manila, a UST scholar taking up Accountancy, graduates in Human Biology—an accelerated two-year pre-medical course—nursing, legal management and board placer...

With all these noteworthy achievements, CDSMMS’ junior high school graduates can already foresee that the senior high graduates of CDSMMS will not only be able to pass entrance exams in colleges and universities but reign over other graduates for their rich content knowledge. For an instance, Faye Banogon, a graduate of CDSMMS took BS Management at Ateneo de Manila University and graduated with honors in 2015. She had become an international student under the Faculty of Law in Osaka University in 2013.

Nowadays, many students are considering courses in line with Business; therefore, the school is glad for its ABM. The school, moreover, is certain in its ability to handle ABM because the school principal herself is both an educator and a certified public accountant. This is therefore contributory to the effective implementation of the said strand.

What’s in store for Miguelians

Many however ask about what skills to be taught now for Miguelians who wish to continue their senior high in CDSMMS when they are already advanced in various contents since elementary. The question simply captures the perks of being a Miguelian. What they will experience is a higher level of learning from principles to practice, or more challenging sets of skills to acquire.

MIGUELIANS CAST VOTES FOR...

          It is wonderful to partake in the activities of the government especially when we are driven by our desire to collectively create a better nation. Filipinos complain about the bewilderingly complex system in the government and ask themselves why rich people get richer while deplorable poor families become poorer. 

          In this initial post by The Miguelians, we wish to engage the youth, or the students in a mock voting as to what they think about the politicians/officials who wish to become the next highest leaders of the Philippines. It is hoped that this first post reach many students, the Miguelians of Casa de San Miguel Montessori School, Inc.
