S.Y. 2009

I've been teaching related crafts and recycling since 2003 (if I'm not mistaken) it would be my 6th year this school year 2009. But this year, i was given another area which is Beauty Care in the TVE - I class...aside from that i also have the ICT II in the Science Curriculum...But whatever areas I'm in now, I'd like to create another blog like this compile all the works of my students (specially those that I handled) in the different areas of Home Economics. A very simple but memorable diary in my teaching career....
