"In the end, kids won't remember the fancy toy or game you bought for them, they will remember the time you spent with them." - Kevin Heath
Hello, howdy my wonderful friends in this awesome community. How are you today? Are you having fun and doing great with your day? Hopefully, you are safe and sound whatever errands we are doing right now.
Last June 12, 2023, it was a mandate from higher-ups to conduct a flag-raising activity either in school, the LGU, barangay workers, and other offices to commemorate our Philippine Independence. With this activity, the youth of today will still be able to understand the importance of independence to all Filipinos all over the world.
After the flag raising, one of the best activities we had with my co-teacher together with @missjoycee @melit79 is having the Feeding activity, School Supplies distribution in partnership with the SK officials of the barangay and Readucate Program to selected elementary students from the barangay where we are teaching.
Food preparation
Days before the activity, teachers who will participate in the event contributed financially to achieve our plans. One of my co-teacher serves as the treasurer to keep all the records of all the finances and receipts of all the purchased items for the different plan activities.
On the day of the event, everyone suggested having packed spaghetti and sliced bread paired with juice to be distributed among the 55 selected elementary pupils from Day Care, Kinder until Grade Two.
Everyone helped in the preparation of the food packs. From the cooking of spaghetti to the packing of slice bread and juice inside the plastics. The food had to be packed evenly so that everyone will be given.
Readucate Program
Before distributing the food packs, one of our activities is to have a readucate program for the selected students.
The readucate (read and educate) program is one way of helping these young learners read and enjoy learning with the different teaching materials prepared from the books, flashcards, color identification, and storytelling activity.
All the teachers who participated will be divided into different learners. There will be teachers assigned to the Day Care Level, Kindergarten Level, Grade One Level, and Grade Two Level.
The program started with an introduction of some action songs to the younger ones so that they will not get bored and setting the environment friendly to them. After a song, individually, the students and teachers will introduce themselves. This way, they will know each other and become friends in the long run.
It was a fun-filled activity, a lot of learning for these young learners from identification of colors to reading books and stories. Teachers were very delighted that those young ones in Grades One and Two Level are already fast readers. I believe it is not easy to teach these young ones how to read properly but salute all elementary teachers who push it through until their pupils will learn to read.
Feeding Distribution
After an hour of the readucate program, food snacks were distributed to the learners. They will fall in line with other kids and wait for their turn to receive the food.
Seeing how happy they are eating these foods will melt your heart. It was a nice feeling to give a little to these young ones. Seeing the smiles on their faces is enough to wash away the tiredness felt in the preparation for this activity.
All the teachers who participated in the activity were very much happy after a successful activity was conducted.
Sharing is truly a blessing to others. We might have less budget financially which is why we had only selected 55 learners but hopefully, this activity will be of great happiness to them and will become bigger next time.
School Supplies Distribution
In partnership with the Sangguniang Kabataan Officials of the barangay, we also helped in the distribution of school supplies to these young learners.
Young learners were given 1 bag with pencil, paper, and coloring materials. These are just small in proportion but surely the kids are very much happy receiving their gifts.
Indeed, it was an extraordinary day for all of us. Even though teachers were exhausted with the different activities and paper forms they need to submit, they spare some time to extend their help financially to achieve these goals.
Young learners were also delighted with what they received today. Not only they were given food snacks but they will also learn and enjoy this readucate program. And much happier with the school supplies they received from the SK Officials of the barangay.
Giving something to these young learners will give you genuine happiness to yourself.
That's all for today Hive friends.
Have a nice day everyone!
