GOD IS REAL

i know what i know and i know that God is real, He's real

i know what i know and i know that God is real, He's real

i looked to my right and i see a tree

with leaves that pop out and then fall on me

i'm sure no one else could have made that tree

i know God is real ....

i know what i know and i know that God is real, He's real

i know what i know and i know that God is real, He's real

i looked to the ground and i see a worm

that crawls in the dirt with a gentle squirm

i'm sure no one else could have thought of worms

i know God is real ....

i know what i know and i know that God is real, He's real

i know what i know and i know that God is real, He's real

i looked to the sky and i see the moon

that hangs in the night like a big balloon

i'm sure no one else could have hung that moon

i know God is real ....

When i taught Preschool, I found this ACSI song attractive. What made me blog it here is that it was the song that I taught the children at AOS Erdkinder now when they were in Preschool.

Awesome ....

A teacher never grows old ..... students just catch up ....

Thinking on their feet

It was Tuesday, July 20 this week. I asked my Erdkinder seniors to talk about trivial matters the impromptu way. The procedure was more of allowing these "children" to think on their feet. Here, a topic is given and the speaker speaks right there and then.

It was refreshing. Seeing these children do things that I did when i was younger is so much fun. And my! It was far better.

And the last pose for the day:

The exercise that I asked them to do is to prepare them for the British Parliamentary Debate bouts that I introduced to them days ago. I am excited to see good speakers and debaters from this group. So far, they have proven themselves to be far better than me.

After all, the goal of every teacher is to make his student better than himself.

THE TEACHER'S WARNING

This picture came from my colleague, Rhyz Gomez. Lately, we've experienced headaches on the children we love and teach. My! My! Adolescents are indeed challenging. We are in an environment where flabbergasting is of course unacceptable from the mouth of a teacher. We can be firm but we will always respect dignity.

However, we found ourselves laughing at the picture where she was tagged in. Thanks to Facebook . LOL! This is not to sound condescending on any of our Erdkinder children. In fact, you will fall in love 69 times to all of them.

Teachers are also humans and are never perfect. They're flawed that's why they teach. There are just days when they want to say "Hey, i told you several times" like a nagging mother. Simply because THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH LIFE .....and THEY WANT YOUR LIVES BETTER THAN THEIRS.

Wow! Kudos to Rhyz, my new Erdkinder colleague, my newfound friend and hopefully, an eternal daughter. Toinkz.
