Time To Shine Kids!

 


Children are considered as a form of God. Their innocence and good heart is all that is needed to light the mood up. In the Philippines, the Children’s Month Celebration is always celebrated during November every year. The Children’s Month Celebration’s objective is to give Filipino children access to a good education, healthcare, and healthy environment. The Philippines’ national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal once said “Ang Kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan” which means in English “Youth is the future of the nation” and investing in children is key for the betterment of the next generation.

 


The main focus of the Children’s Month Celebration is to offer help to those children who suffered from abuse, poverty, natural calamities, and violence. children are supposed to be loved. We do not hurt them. It is important to teach everyone about non violent behavior . like teachers should do to their students. It is very much needed because of the contemporary exposure of children to violence is immense. In fact, in 2013 alone, there was a disturbingly high rate of children who suffered from sexual abuse and exploitation. By 2015, late Philippine President Benigno Aquino III made November the official Children’s Month Celebration in the Philippines under the Republic Act No. 10661.

 

The annual month-long celebration is one of the major avenues of Council for the Welfare of Children to promote the rights of the child and call the attention of various stakeholders on issues and concerns affecting children. It engages duty-bearers and right-holders to further their level of awareness on child rights issues and empower them to take actions to improve their lives and develop the culture of care and protection for, by, and with children. Let's highlight the need for a healthy childhood to ensure they can become happy, caring and connected adults.

A Roller Coaster Journey

 



For me, the first quarter of the special science curriculum is like riding a roller coaster. It has ups and downs in terms of the ease and difficulty of the Teachers' activities, projects, and quizzes. But giving up isn’t in my vocabulary. why would I give up if this is the only way for me to learn more?


This first quarter taught me a lot of new things, such as the current and how a light bulb works. and other information such as when email, the internet, and other things were discovered, Its primary focus was on the Internet, one of the most widely used forms of technology in today's society. I learned its origins and some of its fundamental concepts over the course of a few months, including its history, the people responsible for why the Internet is what it is today, its benefits, uses, and more.. About theories and the creation of the Philippine plate, about the different impressionist and expressionists and their Obra maestras.

 Learning different lessons in a span of two months is difficult, we cannot  avoid misunderstandings, especially in our BE subject, but as time passes, I can easily understand the lessons by paying attention in our class, doing some advance reading about the topics given. I can’t wait to learn more, the fact that it is just the beginning of my Grade 10 journey. To our dearest teachers, thank you Ma'ams and Sirs for your time and sacrifices. We promise to bring these learning to a whole new level. This time, we will make you proud!
