Word of the Day
Sometimes it is the little things in life that makes all the difference in the world. I am reminded again this week that little acts of kindness go such a very long way. You never know who is looking or the difference you can make by just doing a simple little act. Sometimes, it is nothing more than your presence that changes everything. Sometimes, it is making the best of a bad situation. We should try to continue to shine our light every chance we get. We are the light of the world. Don't hide your light under a bushel - let it shine!
What's up
This week is all about high school training. I have been working hard to keep up. We had a great men's breakfast last Saturday. We are gearing up for the start of school and are already seeing an increase in children in our ministries! God is Good!
About Me
- Ben Ceyanes
- I believe that the reason many students fail is because they simply do not see the point of learning. We teach students a lot of information, but they want to know WHY they need to know it. The biggest challenge to teachers this age is to show how the information applies to everyday life. The student can and will learn something if they know why they need to know it. The days of "you need to learn this because I say so" or more recently "you need to learn this because the state says so" are over. I always try to make the information relevant and interesting when I can. They need to know how important math can be in thier lives. I believe that teachers need to begin to work together to overcome the immense task that is before us. Team teaching, collaborative work, and sharing lessons are essential to our success. Just as businesses have weekly meetings, retreats, and team concepts, so must we. Students want to learn. But they want to learn useful information, not just stuff. If we will reach out and let them grow, they will.
