Cagalli's Corner

These videos were taken during Kalli's Open House at school. Mommy, daddy, and tita LA were so excited to finally see Kalli in class :)

These were only half the class. It's a mixed class of Junior Casa, Junior Advance, and Advance Casa. I hope Kalli's not the smallest girl :(

Kalli Packing Away



What is the weather? Are you sleepy, Kalli?



Let's Sing



Itsy and Twinkle



The Wheels on the Bus



Makulit na Hello - Oh-oh, I think she's bored now



That's it! Enjoy!

Here's the last set of the PRE-K videos. Notice how at home Kalli was already on the 3rd day. There were only two of them left and both kids were feeling a bit competitive, hahaha.

Warning: There are more video clips in this set. But I just had to upload them all! I'm sure you'll enjoy them too :)

Singing the Welcome Song


Where is Kalli? She's been practicing this song at home


We're Gonna Shake


According to Kalli, we wear the hat when it'raining in the head, and the umbrella when it's raining on the floor, hahaha


Kalli's so "Daldal"! Bibo-kids too :)


The kids were feeling so competitive. Did you hear Kalli ask the teacher, "Are you going to start with Kalli?" Hahaha


Both kids didn't like the glue on their hands, hahaha.


I love this! Kalli was having trouble carrying the drum, hahaha


Kalli wanted to sing Ariel's Song... panalo, hahaha


Some writing exercises... Kalli was so curious


Okay, that's the last. Hope you enjoyed them as much as I did :)

Until next post!

As promised, here are more video clips of Kalli's trial PRE-K class. But before that let me just share how Kalli loved her classes. Her classes start at 2pm. That's usually her nap time. For 3 days she fell asleep in the car going to class. I let her sleep in her stroller until 15 minutes before the class. When it's time to wake her up, I just tell her, "Kalli, we're here at Gymboree. It's time for your class. Are you ready?". For three days, she would immediately wake up, almost in a panic, and say "I'm ready! I'm ready!". Hahaha, it was so funny how excited she got. Even now, she tells me once in a while that she wants to go back there. Oh, if only we have the money :(

Anyway, going back to the videos, these clips were taken during the second day. There were only 3 of them left. The other girl Allysa was sick and had to go home. The other boy didn't participate much cause he didn't want to let go of his toy. You'll notice that Kalli was feeling more confident here than her first day.

Here, Kalli was tasked to find "Tueday". She was so good :)


This here is one of my favorites :) I love how she's always so curious and willing to learn. She so proud of herself too, it's adorable :)


Notice that Kalli was always looking at her classmates.


Notice how she was almost always the one answering? :)


Kalli loves arts and crafts too :)


Here's another favorite of mine :) She was so funny singing "Old McDonald" :) I guess she liked the headphones more than the crayons.


Okay, that's it for now. Day 3 coming soon :)

I signed up Kalli in a free 3-day pre-kinder trial class at Gymboree and she was soooo good! She loved it too! I was so tempted (and still is) to enroll her in June. If only it wasn't so expensive :( One school year of PRE-K is 58,000 pesos.

At first there were 4 of them in the class. Two of them (Kalli and Allysa) were 2 years and 5 months old, while the others (JM and Julia) were 2 years and 8 months. Among the four, Kalli and Julia seemed to be the most ready to attend school. By the last day, the two of them were the only ones left.

I took a lot of videos and I'll be posting them as I upload them. For now, here are some clips from the first day.

In this video, Kalli was telling her teacher how she got the fish tattoo on her hand during the playtime session before class. Her teacher was pretty impressed with the way she talked and told me so at the end of the class :)


Kalli was still a bit shy during the first day. By the 3rd day she owned the place, hahaha.


In this video, Kalli was asked to put Gymbo's picture on "Monday". She was told that "Monday" starts with M and she found it. I was so proud, hahaha.


It was story time here and the teacher gave them cookies to eat while they listened to the story. Kalli loves stories and books and she was so attentive.


That's it for now. More videos to come :)
