My son and daughter today went on a field trip with school. My son had already gone in at least two trips, for my daughter it was the first one. They went to visit the Park & Zoo S. Ignacio in the north of the country so this was the longest trip they have ever done without us.

They were …

My daughter’s school is preparing the Christmas Party. The kids are going to sing, dance and act. Although it is supposed to be a surprise, my daughter already told me she will be a Cow that will warm up Baby Jesus.

The daycare that my kids attend after school is also preparing a Christmas party and I already know my …

Thursday at the end of the day I had a meeting at Catherine pre-school. We didn’t know what the meeting was about until we got there.

This meeting had a slideshow where all the information regarding the objectives of the school for this year were presented and explained. Promoting reading and storytelling is a priority as well as the theme …

My daughter and another girl from her class are having some behavior issues. They are also together in daycare and they know each other since they were little. A sort of competition between them has been a constant in their lives.

This was already an issue last year and this year the teacher thinks it is starting to have some …

Yesterday I decided to surprise my daughter so I pop up at pre-K during lunch break. What a surprise, she was soooo happy.

I never went there during lunch break because: 1: I have little time to go there and 2: Because I was afraid she would want to come with me and cry.

Well, she’s growing up and now …

Tuesday night it was a terrible end of day for me. When I picked up my son at daycare he told me that a school helper from school had slapped him on his face. I was shocked, no only it is something forbidden at school but he is a boy that never gives a problem and I was quite surprised …

It’s Thursday already, time flies away so quickly.

Kids are already going to school. The return was quite smooth and today I made the experience of taking Catherine to preschool myself. Last year daycare took her to preschool because it was the only way for her to stay there without crying. Today I took her myself and she behaved …

Tomorrow we’ll have a exciting day. Tomorrow it’s the first day of preschool and school. I’ll have two presentation meeting at both my kids schools. I don’t know yet how I will be managing that but here’s what I’m thinking:

8.45am: leave Catherine in daycare and they will take her to preschool

9.00am: I’ll be at Dani school for the …

Those following my blog know that English is not my mother language. I learned English at school but mostly through a Correspondence English course and later on a Language Institute where I got some certificates from Cambridge University (English as a Foreign Language).

Nowadays English is already incorporated in 3rd and 4th grade, my son could have attended on 3rd …

My daughter is afraid of all type of insects and animals, she just freaks out, screams and cries when she sees an unexpected bug. What happened today is hard to believe.

During break time in pre-school she saw a bee, a beautiful yellow and black bee, was she afraid? No. She tried to grab the bee with her hand and …

My daughter was once again removed from the Ballet class because of her bad temper. It is the second time this happens, the first time was two months ago and today it happened again.

She loves Ballet classes but, sometimes, she doesn’t want to do what the teacher says and really refused to do it. When the teacher calls her …

When I went to school yesterday I spoke with his teacher and asked her what she had to say about him.
She told me what I already knew: He’s a very intelligent boy that gets distracted very easily therefore his grades are not as good as they were supposed to be. The teacher says it’s unbelievable how he is not …
