A Second Home: Why This School Holds a Special Place in Our HeartsWhen we first walked through the school gates, we were just looking for a place that felt right. What we found was something far more extraordinary.Over the past few years, this school has not only educated our childit has nurtured, inspired, and embraced them as a whole person. From the teachers who know each child by name to the staff who greet every parent with a warm smile, theres a sense of belonging here thats rare and priceless.The classrooms buzz with curiosity. Learning is joyful, not just rigorous. Ive seen my child race home with stars in their eyes, eager to talk about a science experiment or a story they wrote in class. Its not just about textbooksits about discovery, about growth, and about instilling a love for learning that I know will last far beyond these school years.What touches me most is how values are woven into every part of school lifekindness, respect, resilience. When my child once struggled with confidence, their teacher didnt just teachthey upli ed. When our family faced a tough me, the school community stood by us with compassion that still brings tears to my eyes.This school is not just a placeits a family. One that teaches not just the mind, but also the heart. And for that, I will always be grateful.
The Curious Mind: Why Kids Ask So Many Questions—and Why That’s a Good ThingWhy is the sky blue? How do fish sleep? What if dinosaurs had survived?As a teacher, I hear dozens of wonderfully bizarre ques ons every day. At first, I used to answer them all. But soon, I realized something more powerful: it wasnt always about the answerit was about nurturing the question.Curiosity is the engine of learning. Studies have shown that when children ask questions, their brains light up with ac vity. Theyre not just looking for factstheyre trying to make sense of the world, connect dots, and understand their place in it. And heres where education technology becomes a gift. Today, when a child wonders what the inside of a volcano looks like, we can show them. When theyre curious about life on Mars, we can explore it together through simulations, videos, and real-me missions from space agencies.Technology doesn't replace human connectionit amplifies it. It transforms "What is that?" into "Let's find out."So, the next time a student asks something wild or wonderfully unexpected, I smile. Because hidden behind that question is a mind in motionand that, to me, is the greatest sign of learning.
How Education on Technology is Transforming the Way Our Children LearnA few years ago, if someone had told me that my classroom would one day be filled with laptops, learning apps, and digital whiteboards, I wouldve smiled politely and carried on with my lesson plan. Today, technology is no longer just an accessory in our schoolsits a powerful bridge between curiosity and understanding.Learning is no longer confined to the four walls of a classroom. With tools like interacative learning pla orms, virtual science labs, and educa onal games, students can explore complex ideas in a way that's engaging and personalized. Ive seen quiet students blossom through video projects. I've watched struggling readers improve drama cally with the help of adaptive literacy apps.But it isnt just about the gadgetsits about access. Technology helps level the playing field. Whether a child is a fast learner or needs a li le more support, edtech meets them where they are. And for us teachers, it opens up a new world of possibili es: real-me feedback, paperless assignments, and dynamic, collaborative learning environments.Of course, we also teach our students to be though ul digital citizensbecause using technology responsibly is just as important as using it effectively.Education technology is still evolving, and so are we. But at the heart of it, our mission remains unchanged: to inspire young minds and nurture a lifelong love of learning. With the right tools in hand, I believe were be er equipped than ever to do just that.
What My Child Taught Me About PatienceI used to think I was a fairly pa ent personun l I became a parent.One evening, while helping my daughter with her school project, I found myself hovering, correcting, and trying to fix things so theyd be done quickly and neatly. She paused, looked up at me, and said, Mama, I like it messy. Its how I think. That simple statement stopped me in my tracks.In that moment, I realized learning isnt always dyand neither is parenting.Since then, Ive tried to see the world more through her eyes. Ive started giving her space to experiment, to get things wrong, to express herself freely. And you know what? Ive learned to let go of my melines and embrace the beauty of process over perfect on.Our children have this quiet wisdom, dont they? If were listening carefully, they teach us just as muchif not morethan we teach them.So, heres to messy projects, slow mornings, and the unexpected teachers in our lives: our children.
