I was reviewing my tutee with her Civics quiz tomorrow about the national symbols. As I was casually reviewing her knowledge on the symbols, I encourage her to ask questions. I was sharing to her that Dr. Jose Rizal fought the Spaniards with his pen, he wrote 2 books that then started the revolution.
Tutee: What does the 8 rays of the sun mean teacher?
Teacher: The rays represent the 8 cities that fought the Spaniards during the war. Meaning, we were like prisoners for a while.
Tutee: Huh?? I never remembered being in prison when I was young.
Right one there girl.

I was reviewing my kids with their sight words. I have a bunch of printed sight words in a cue card to my perusal. I come to the card of 'must' when my routine was interrupted by one of my kids.
Ada: That is like the church close to our house.
It stopped me for a while. I thought, it must be the school (Mindanao University of Science and Technology). On the second thought, this kid lived nowhere near that school and she is using the word church not a school. Then, it occurred to be. This kid is referring to a MOSQUE. Good thinking.
