Saved by Worksheet Heaven

When both Hezzies started going to “big school” this school year, one of my problems was how to review both of them come exam time. Despite the fact that Adi’s exams were on a quarterly basis and Gaby’s were trimestral, the first and last set of exams were going to fall on the same date. So how?

I always told myself that I would prepare their worksheets early, like at the beginning of each quarter/semester. But who does that anyway? Unless you’re some sort of manic obsessive parent who doesn’t have anything to do but hover over the kids and what they do, then fine, go ahead. But not me…and I would suppose almost 99% of all parents.

So, when exam review time came, I panicked..big time. Sure we had pointers plastered on all their subject notebooks but those are just teasers. The major part of reviewing was done at home…with Mama.

What did I do? What else, I made reviewers. I had to backtrack. I had to relearn my English and Filipino grade school grammar lessons…fast. My shortcut Mathematics just didn’t cut it anymore.

But you can only do so much. At one point, and this was at 2:30 in the morning, my brain was fried. So I did the next best thing. I went online. Just to refresh. Then I decided to see if I could find websites that gave free worksheets. Let me tell you, there are a ton of sites doing this. But I found one that was tailor made for the Pinoy school system. And this was like manna from heaven. All their lessons were there!!! You just have to go by subject and by grade level (although some of the kids’ lessons were in different grade levels). And all I had to do was sign up and I had access to all these worksheets.

Before I knew it, I had printed out more worksheets than the kids could answer. Yes, I went overboard. My printer ran low on ink and I had to print them on Economy scale just so I could print everything out.
