The Connectedness of Things

Dear classmates,

Good day to everyone. I missed you all anyway we still meet for the second semester and I hope and pray that you all are fine and happy. Would it be alright that I will share to you something?
The idea that I am going to share to you is about the connectedness of things.

We are all teachers and we have to remember that in teaching our subject we have to connect. Because I believe that it is in the connectedness of things that we can find the meaning that we are searching. The Basic curriculum in both public and private is actually interdisciplinary. This means that we have to cross to other disciplines while while we are teaching our own field of specialization. Seen in this manner, as teachers we have to broaden our teaching of the subject and connect it to other disciplines to MAKE OUR LESSONS MORE MEANINGFUL TO STUDENTS. Those were the days when a teacher teaches math and his focus is only in math. But now it is not that way, we can relate math lessons with science, araling panlipunan or in MAPEH. Di ba mas maganda at mas exciting if we will do it. We also try to c0nnect our lesson to life experiences of our students. Then our teaching would become more meaningful. I would like to share to you this passage, " Be the best of whatever you are. If you cannot be a pine on top of the hill be a scrub in the valley but be the best little scrub at the foot of the hill." If we are just ordinary teachers but we can become the best teachers in the whole world if we do what is right and good for our students. Thank you for reading.

Showing to the world that we can be the best is not bragging about what we are but simply telling them that we can. "The Connectedness of Things" manifests the very purpose people desire further education, because indeed a thing cannot be as it is without it being connected with the other.

"The Connectedness of Things" simply telling us that we cannot live without the other.It's just like that a coin has always the two sides."Ang sakit ng kalingkingan ay dinaramdam ng buong katawan"
