Insights (Verbatim- lifted up from the narrative implementation report)

“It is very hard for an adult to grasp a concept if it is not concrete or just an idea alone much more for a six year old pupil. This is the case were KidSmart helped me a lot last school year.

As what have been said, a concept will be much accepted and retained if it is learned when a pupil had fun while learning it because the process by which the idea was conceptualized is aided by a tool that gave the pupil the opportunity to manipulate, operate and explore. By this way, the child was able to have a much more meaningful and profound experience which will be remembered and retained.

A concrete example is when I used the following in the course of my teaching:

Alphabet – Bailey’s Book House
Size of Objects – Millie’s Math House
Adjectives – Thinking Things Collection I
Prepositions – Bailey’s Book House
And many others

With the use of KidSmart I have grown personally and professionally. I used to teach using pencil and paper, chalk and chalkboard, colors and manila papers and other recycled materials in my community. But with the coming of KidSmart into my life my lessons became more diverse and meaningful to my pupils. I became more creative, imaginative, resourceful and innovative in the course of my teaching. Aside from that, I became a better facilitator because I let my pupils become engaged and map their way rather than spoon-feeding them with our daily lessons thus I became a more efficient and effective teacher.”
