A story of my confused state

  2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that ...

LESSONS OF LIFE FROM AN EXPRESS ROAD

was seated in the BRT bus on Monday and i decided to peep through the windows, and to my greatest surprise i was given a complete view of life. Most times inspirations comes from things or people we least expect, the view of the under bride road gave me a complete different view about life. Now before I list the views I got I would want to point out the following scenario that takes place on the express road. We are familiar with the way cars race past and are only stopped by traffic which rarely occurs We also are familiar with the way those guys selling stuffs on the road try to catch up with some vehicles so as to sell their wares. Am sure you’ve also witness where a gala seller sells gala to someone in a car and before he can collects his money the vehicle races off. I also realized we only buy from those who are fast enough to get to vehicle even while it is moving Have you also noticed those super swift guys who run faster than Usain Bolt just to sell...

ASK, SEEK AND FIND ( THE KNOWN SECRET)

 good day great-minds, am sure you all are familiar with Mattew 7:7 which talks about asking, seeking, and finding. some days ago this verse just kept on coming through my mind and by God's grace i was able to get a key thing about this passage. we sometimes wonder why our prayers don't get answered 😞😞 but the thing is they do get answered but we are just so unaware of that.😱😱 Mattew 7:7 says ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you. ill try to make this as brief as possible with some headings👍👍 ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE to ask simply means to request for something. When we ask God for something ( something good and sincere thou) He tends to give it to us. the problem here is we sometimes don't know we have gotten it, God encourages hard-work so even when He is giving you something you asked for you will still need some hard-work to get it. when you ask the answer is packaged waiting for you to...

CHILDREN

" no dearie thanks though " i smiled if only she knew i haven't eaten anything since morning and even had to stand on the queue for hours waiting for BRT just because no money. their smile s, the way they chatted as they moved selling their stuffs. they weren't shy of what they sell, their laughter was just enough to make you forget the stress faced at work.

IF LIFE ISN'T FAIR. BLEACH IT

am so sure you went ha ha ha ha when you saw this funny title, yeah!!! i thought so too when i got the inspiration to write on it but after i meditated on it, everything became very very clear. majority of us are fond of complaining, nagging, crying and shouting LIFE ISN'T FAIR!!!, just because you lost your loved ones, failed an examination, had a break-up or lost a job opportunity. am sure you would be expecting me to write on how to bleach life since it isn't fair, but dearie just as i wouldn't advice you to use a bleaching cream, i won't also advice you to bleach your life. some of us are black, dudu, brown, red, chocolate, fair, yellow, afi e.t.c in complexion, that was just the way we were created.  it wasn't our choice to make, but rather to love. irrespective of the complexion you are, it is expected of you to love yourself.  i wonder why so many people love bleaching their colors, they want to become fair because they think fairness if beauty. you ...

HOW TO COPE WITH SLOW LEARNERS

I remember my first experience with a slow learner. At first I thought he was just lazy but later I realised it wasn't laziness. He was always quite, doesn't answer questions in class and rarely relate with his peers. Within months of my stay in the school I started noticing some changes in my boy. He now attempts assignment and classwork given. He talks in class and now relates well with his classmates. The trick is to first make them feel safe in class rather than make your expectations a burden to them. Over the years I've had to teach slow Learners and it has been a wonderful experience. The link below is a podcast where I talked on how to cope with Slow Learners. It's a ten minutes audio that summarizes strategies you can put in place when you have a slow learner in class. If you have questions, I'll be glad to answer them. https://anchor.fm/MissDairo%20/episodes/How-to-cope-with-Slow-Learners-ef5bj4 Don't forget to leave a comment and share w...

FOODS THAT PROMOTE A CHILD'S GROWTH AND ABILITIES

A balanced diet of nutritious food is the key to a child's healthy growth and development. No food or food group will suddenly add inches to an aspiring dancer. Human growth depends on different organs and processes working together. A balanced diet of grains, fruits, vegetables, and proteins such, as milk, eggs, and meats, provides essential nutrients to all parts of the body so that every inch and pound gained is a healthy inch and pound. Breads and Grain Products Carbohydrates provide the energy kids need to grow and thrive. doctors recommends that about 60 percent of the calories children consume each day should come from carbohydrates found in whole-grain breads, pasta, waffles ,and cereals, both hot and cold. Grain-based foods that have undergone the least amount of processing and refining deliver the highest levels of nutrition to children. It's almost impossible to go wrong with oatmeal, although the instant varieties have high amounts of added sugar. Other food...
