Bashar (link) : “Hi Bashar! I really enjoyed your blog post! It’s great to see how you were able to collaborate with a team, even though it was your first time working together. I think that’s one of the valuable lessons school teaches us — working with people we’ve never met before, understanding their ways of working, and finding ways to motivate each other. It’s definitely something that will carry over into the workforce!”
Ella (link) : “Hi Ella! I just wanted to say that I find the background and theme of your blog so pretty and cute! I love the stars and I think it’s wonderful you want to be an elementary school teacher. As for your example on how to teach children with different substances, I’ve never of it and think it’s a fantastic approach. Children can make connections with what they’re learning in the classroom and incorporate it into their own lives. It encourages sensory exploration and allows a fun engaging activity to make the lesson more memorable. Very fun and practical! Looking forward to your next post! P.S. Indoor climbing is so much fun (reference to your introduction)”
Marc (link) : “Hi Marc! That’s so cool that you taught yourself to code at such a young age. I really enjoyed reading your blog—it was well-written and gave such an interesting look into your life. Your journey from homeschooling in Singapore, where your dad encouraged curiosity-driven learning, to adjusting to the public school system in Canada was really fascinating. I loved hearing your perspective on self-directed learning and how those early experiences shaped the way you think about education. It’s inspiring to see how that curiosity and drive to learn stuck with you!”
Gaia (link) : “Hi Gaia! I understand where you’re coming from about memorization and repetition. I wrote something similar where I talked about using flashcards as well. You’re definitely on the spot about the ability to recall stored information and being able to know when to apply it, especially in math. Thanks for your post and I look forward to your next one.”
