To our dearest community,

​It has been our greatest pleasure to have served the community by teaching the select students of Malinao Elementary School.

We believe deeply in the potential of every student, and we know that with the right support, they are capable of reaching incredible heights. 🪜

However, this mission is a journey we could not have taken alone.

​We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our sponsors—your generosity has been the fuel for this project. To our parents and guardians, thank you for your dedication in bringing your children to every session and prioritizing their education.

​Most especially, we wish to thank the teachers and administration of Malinao Elementary School. Your kindness in providing a venue and opening your doors to Tuklas Pinoy has made this initiative possible.

​Because of all of you, our students are discovering the joy of learning. 💚

𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂 𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓶𝓪𝓼!

With love,
Tuklas Pinoy

It was our final session for the year! 🙏

A quick hour of focus on their worksheets, and then it was straight to the most anticipated part of the day: food and Christmas gifts! 🥳

Earlier this year, we had secretly asked the students what they wanted for Christmas. Based on their thoughtful lists, we prepared surprise gifts as a special way to celebrate their hard work and significant progress over the past few sessions. 🎁

The students were so excited to open them (with plenty of package shaking and guessing involved! 😅).

​We're incredibly proud of their dedication and growth. Whether they realize it or not, the knowledge they gained and their significant improvement is by far the best gift for their future. 🌿

Merry Christmas to all! 🎄

We just finished our 10th session! ✅️

We looked closely at how the students were learning over the past sessions and made two (2) changes:

✨️ For every one (1) teacher, there will only be 2-3 students. This lets the teacher spend more time helping the child directly.

We made new workbooks for Reading and Math - we now have Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced - so every child is working on lessons that are just right for their current knowledge.

The main goal of this new way is simple:

🌿 We want to make sure the child really understands the lesson before moving on. The workbooks help us check this and also show us what things we need to teach them next. 💚

(By the end of the sessions, all materials - from pens to workbooks - will be given to the child.)

Thank you to all the parents and guardians! Thank you for continuing to bring your children and for being patient with our changes.

​We also send our thanks to Ma'am Protacio for letting us use her room every Saturday. This makes sure the kids have a clean and safe place to learn. 🫧

It's inspiring to see the unique ways our students learn ✨

We've noticed that while every child works hard, they all have different processes, retention speeds, and attention spans. In a single group, some kids quickly grasp new reading or math concepts, while others need a bit more time and focused attention to keep up.

We are committed to making sure no child gets left behind. So we're putting more thought into customizing their learning journey. This means designing activities more suited to each child's level and creating specialized workbooks that speak directly to their needs.

We have also decided to create smaller, focused discussion groups. This ensures every student receives the dedicated attention they need to feel confident and succeed in mastering their lessons.

If you've ever thought about dedicating a few hours on Saturdays to directly support these children in reading and math, please feel free to send us a message. 😊 We're always open to having more hands join us to create an even bigger impact for these children. 💚🌿

We just wrapped up our 8th session today!

Despite a few unavoidable cancellations due to weather or scheduling conflicts, our drive to teach, learn, and have fun has never wavered!

Today's highlight? Teaching the kids Patintero during recess!

Patintero is a classic Filipino game where one team guards a grid while the other tries to sneak past without getting tagged. It's an awesome mix of speed, strategy, and teamwork! 🤸‍♀️

It was a little sad knowing that some of the kids only know games on phones and tablets but not awesome games like these. So we think it would be a great idea to introduce all the amazing Filipino games (that had us running, laughing, and getting totally worn out) during our recess 🤩

Learning is so much more than what's on a page; it's about life, movement, and culture.

What's your favorite Filipino traditional game?

Let us know in the comments—we might teach it next! 💚

A massive thank you to every teacher for the endless passion and dedication you bring to your work. The countless hours you spend— often unseen — are what ensure our students are learning, growing, and heading toward bright futures.

Teaching reading and math for students on weekends has truly been an eye-opener for us. It gave us a deeper understanding and respect for the sheer hard work and preparation that goes into every single lesson. Thank you for making a lasting difference! 💚

Another day, another lesson! ✨️

Today's session was extra special as we were joined by our amazing adviser, Ma'am Amie Cuencs, who lent her expertise and passion to help guide our young learners through their reading and math lessons.

​These moments of progress and engagement are made possible through collective effort and invaluable support.

​A huge thank you again to Ma'am Amie and to our partners at Alexander's, whose support helps us bring these vital learning opportunities to our community.

Another Saturday, another step forward! We had a wonderful and productive morning with our young learners, diving into both reading and math. 📖

​It's incredible to see their enthusiasm and progress each week. These sessions aren't just about lessons; they're about building confidence, one equation and one story at a time. ✨️

This vital work is now made all the more possible by our official partnership with Alexander's. We are so grateful for their support, and to all of their customers who are helping to fund these learning sessions. 🧡

​Thank you to everyone who supports our mission. Together, we're making a difference, one weekend at a time. 🙏

Throwback to last Saturday's Creative Hour! 🎨 The kids absolutely love drawing and eagerly requested time to draw and color – of course, we couldn't say no! They definitely squeezed every bit of their creative juices into their masterpieces. 👨‍🎨👩‍🎨

✨ It helps️ boost Fine Motor Skills.
✨️ It ​encourages self-expression.
✨️ It ​fosters creativity & imagination, nurturing original thinking and problem-solving.
✨️ It ​improves focus & patience.
