Throwback 7 years ago! Found a stack of thank you notes from my past students. I love handwritten gifts over commercial bought ones! This tugged at my heartstrings. I am reminded that each and every time spent with children, they are able to sense how much you care for them. Aside the academic values, I… Continue reading Reason For My Passion

Loving it!
Humans need affirmation and it’s really nice to receive positive comments from others. Not to fluff thy ego, but I see it as a motivation to do my best to help my students.
Eyes Of A Beholder
Chinese through the lens of my sweet 4 year old. Caught him scribbling on a tissue paper and asked what was he writing. Guessed he is slowly trying to imitate the Chinese characters that he has been learning. Good job!
Kaleidoscope Fun
Quick recap on Light. My girl had fun looking through the different kaleidoscopes that I got. Experiential learning.

States of Matter
Watch carefully at the cup. Watch the colour change! This never fails to amaze my students when I do this experiment. To them, it’s magic. To me, it’s Science. It’s a good tool to teach heat gain and heat loss. What they see, they are able to connect what they learn in real life. Water… Continue reading States of Matter
Life Cycles
Ewwwww… my students will crink their noses but they are excited to observe the specimens that lay within. Life cycles, in a fun way. I love hands on and making Science ‘alive’! Great tools to do recaping, in a non routine way.
