MyUnjumble.com: A jumble word solver


My daughter had this take home activity sheet in her Language subject. It consists of 10 items and you need to deal with different approaches to make it a sentence. Items 1 – 9 are kind of easy but we got troubled with item no. 10.

Given:               10.   Nbur eth plan persap dan trepors fo eth spat.

Answer:                    Burn the plan papers and reports of the past.

We are puzzled with the jumbled words “persap” and “spat” to make everything with sense. Glad I met this website, http://www.myunjumble.com/default.asp. It is a jumble solver wherein when you type a jumbled word it will give you list of possible words it may represents.

Proficiency Enhancement Program (PEP)


My daughter is part of her school’s Proficiency Enhancement Program (PEP) for Grade 4. In her level, there are 3 subjects for this program namely Math, English and Science. I am proud of her because she was included in all those 3 PEPs. I understand that it would mean a much advance topics and she really needs to give more time and deeper understanding.

Every Math, English and Science time, students that are members of the PEP will go in a different room to spend their advance learning. They are being required to have a clear book where they will place all the activities and materials that will be given.

So far my daughter is still adjusting to her schedule from half-day to whole day school time. It’s a bit hard considering the additions of the 3 programs. But like what I’ve always telling her study is just a matter of spending quality time. For students, there are little sacrifices they need to do like taking off from watching TV and playing if necessary to give more time in their studies. It is not always like that especially if a student will establish and practice a good study habit.

Poster Making


I sometimes find myself helping my kids, especially my daughter in Grade 4, decorating projects and school assignments. Considering the budget, I usually scout school supplies or any store where I can get cheap but fascinating decors.

When my daughter had her poster making homework, we both planned on how we will deal with the overall presentation. The poster has something to do with nutrition and so that’s what we showed in our drawings. She had her drawings in a bond paper and we decided to attach it in a small styro board since there’s no available small illustration board. I also got some decorative stuff that you see in the pictures that we put in the boarders. The decors are not pricey but catchy. It only costs us 20 pesos per pack but it comes with a handful of little glittering stones and 5 flowers. I bought the flower décor at National Bookstore and the glittering stone from Japan Home Center.

I was not able to take a picture of the finish product but I promise to post it after her teacher gives it back to us.
