Jollibee Kids Meal: Road Rollers

As I am exploring Enzo's homeschooling journey, I decided to start where his interest is and that is in Things that Go. He loves cars, trucks, and everything that has wheels. Coincidentally, Enzo's dad, the hubby bought a Jollibee Kids Meal last night and it was a Fire Truck. 

He instantly loves it because we always see or hear fire trucks here at home. Because it is a fire truck, it has a container to put water into and sprays water too. It is perfect for bath time playtime too!;) 

Then I decided to eat at Jollibee today so we can complete the collection. The other remaining road rollers are an ambulance and a school bus. 

Here is an unboxing of the school bus:

The school bus is a wind up toy that moves on its own. As a school bus it has students as passengers that has two slots in the bus. The children can play pretend, removing and inserting the cards. 

The ambulance on the other hand has a red light that circles as it moves. 

The Jollibee Kids Meal Road Rollers

The toys are perfect for our homeschooling lessons and I find it entertaining for Enzo. I can teach him a lot using the toys like colors, road safety, and occupations. These toys are worth buying, so I suggest you grab your kids a Jollibee Kids Meal Road Rollers now!;) 

TMA's Parents Conference: Set Them Up for Success

As our little ones transition from infancy to toddler years, the growth of their brains is at a fast rate. It means that they absorb very well and could learn as much as they are taught. Although this is their nature, it is but important that they get the right stimulation in order to maximize this time in their life.

Given that, parents and caregivers have the biggest role in the development of children. It is fact that the family is the first classroom of a child. It is where the child learns basic concepts, values, and discipline that would be useful when they socialize with other people.

As the home is where a child learns first and foremost,the concept of homeschooling is prevalent. Many parents have seen the significance and advantage of homeschooling.

Admittedly, I have a lot to learn about Homeschooling. Although I was raised and educated in traditional school I am very interested in understanding what homeschooling and its difference from traditional school.

Fortunately, TMA will hold their 2015 Parents Conference entitled "Set Them Up For Success." This event is set to enlighten and inspire parents to raise their children to become happy, responsible, productive adults and leaders "wherever they are planted." It will run for a whole day and will consist of keynote topics like "Set Them Up for Success" and "Catching your Child's God-given Bents for Success". Keynote speakers are Edric Mendoza and Jayson Lo.

Mr. Edric Mendoza is a homeschooling father of five, the president of the Homeschoolers Association of the Philippine Islands and lead anchor of ANC's On the Money. Mr. Jayson Lo is a known inspirational speaker in the country and is the author of Younique:Understanding Others by Understanding You, a book about how personality styles help identify one's strengths and weaknesses.

 Aside from keynote talks, the conference will also feature workshops on character education, multi-level homeschooling, homeschooling through high school, adjusting teaching strategies for effecting learning, and celebrating dads who homeschool. Participants may also opt to attend a Q&A forum where TMA Homeschool will answer questions about homeschooling in the Philippines. Speakers for these sessions are seasoned homeschoolers Donna Simpao, Millona Barraca, Bles de Guzman, Joy Mendoza, and Dennis Sy. Participants may choose one track for each talk happening simultaneously.
