WIS Teachers Day

It was a normal day at school. We had classes in the morning. The Student Council asked us to go to the cafeteria because they prepared lunch for us.

 After the pizza lunch, they asked us to change clothes (hmmm!). We were asked to go to the assembly hall. Students gave special numbers and sweet messages to us. 

They grouped us randomly into two. An amazing race was organized by the students. :) 

We ran! (Bibo teachers)

I can still remember running in skirt. HAHAHA!  

We had to shoot a ball. (I can only shoot when it's graded! LOL )

and some more balls! This is like beer pong, without a beer! :P

They prepared a lot of stations!

We solved math problems! ^^, 

and puzzles!

The teachers really enjoyed the games.

 

They gave us some prizes too.

The event ended by a flash mob.

I'll make another post about the presents I received from my sweet grade 5 students. <3

"All Things Bright and Beautiful"

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.

The purple headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one

The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
We gather every day;

He gave us eyes to see them,
 And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

"The Difference"

by Grace L. Naessens

"I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish,
I didn't have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
Why doesn't God help me? I wondered,
He answered, "You didn't ask."

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak.
I wondered why God didn't show me,
He said, "But you didn't seek."

I tried to come into God's presence,
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."

I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day.
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray."

Happy Birthday Kenny!

Choreography

Today, we started to have our practice for the Bible Month presentation on August.

My talented students were very excited during our brainstorming. They even volunteered to play some instruments.

Since they are half day, I spent the afternoon dancing alone in the classroom. I did the choreography and mixing of the songs that we're going to use. I never thought I can use my "hidden" skills in my class. :)

Lollipops

These wonderful kids colored their lollipops for the birthday corner!

And this young man asked me to take a pic of him. :)

I'll post the birthday corner in my classroom soon. 

First Day of Class

I'm so happy to see my 17 boys and 6 girls in the classroom. 

 I hope we have a great school year ahead!

Team Building Activity

The Westhill International School faculty enjoyed the team building last June 18-19, 2015 held at the school and Tierra Montephine, Alfonso. 

Pastor Tillman started the day by an inspiring message. Teacher Ofel and Teacher Weng had some lecture about commitment and teamwork. Teacher Maria lead the art therapy for the teachers. Ice breakers and games were lead by Teacher Al, Teacher Steffi and Teacher Jason.

The teachers had a great time at Tierra Montephine. Swimming, boating, and singing are some of the activities they had. Pastor Bong prepared some games for the teachers. They had some reflection about it.
