By: If you are considering or doing home schooling there are some benchmarks you can use. When your child has reached the equivalency of second grade they have already learned a host of language items. One of these critical learning elements is that of correct spelling. Home educators just like teachers work diligently to reinforce spelling words at the second grade level. As a home educator you can follow the methodical approach to teaching second grade spelling that is used by education professionals. This approach makes the process predictable and comfortable for the children in the home classroom. Following a systematic process allows the child to get comfortable with the learning process. Structure provides a sense of security for the child in dealing with second grade speeling words. A list of curriculum is generally organized by vowel sounds. This provides an added bonus of understanding phonics while learning vowels as a part of spelling. This is better than creating a haphaza

Listening to Bro. Mitch’s story during our supper made me awake for the whole night. I was moved. He witnessed the most dramatic situation in his apostolate. It was all about the family who is trying to make a big decision to live. It was somewhere in Antipolo. The husband died few months ago. He left nothing except six children for his wife. The wife this time is selling “fish balls” to survive her six children ages from few months to 12 years. The eldest, a son, seemed to understand how difficult to be separated from his family, resisted with the decision of the mother; to let them be taken cared by the sisters of Mother Teresa, even just for a while. The mother asked the sisters to take care of the three children until she is able to find a new place to live. The heart-breaking situation began… Both the mother and all the children were crying as the sisters and Bro. Mitch tried to convince the children to go with them.
This sad story started with another sad story.

A report from the American Association for Public Health Dentistry has shown that most Americans are taking better care of their teeth but tooth decay in baby teeth among children is increasing.
Parents of children 2-5 years of age, are not aware they need to help their kids brush their teeth.
Children in this age range do not have the necessary fine motor skills to clean their teeth so it is important parents help. As a gauge, when you child can write their own, they can start brushing their own teeth.
Avoiding sugary foods is also very important, look for healthy snack alternatives including whole grain breads and cereals, fruits and vegetables.
Don’t eat too much of any one thing. Go easy on the sticky sweets, fats and salt.
Remember that the names of some foods sound healthy but really aren’t. For example, watch for “fruit” snacks or drin
