A Game of Connection

By

Let's just say that our get-to-know-you bingo game was much more thrilling than your average bingo night!





We struck up discussions, found common ground, and even learned a little bit about one another. Before we started our journey together, it was a great way to get to know one another and create a community of learners. We're prepared to take on any obstacle now that we have new pals and a passion for learning in common.

  The Power of Encouragement  Teddy and Mrs. Thompson   by Bill Bratt  Reflection on The Power of Encouragement The story of The Power of Encouragement is a profound reminder of the lasting impact that kindness, compassion, and belief in others can have on their lives.

           The joy of growing up is we learn things fresh as we breathe every second. As we, unknowingly, traced our ABC's and 123's and the next thing we know is that the world is bigger and wider.

The saying "Strike while the iron is hot" emphasizes the importance of acting at the right moment—when enthusiasm is high, information is fresh, and the conditions are optimal for growth. This led me to note the following things to learn effectively and efficiently: Timely – Seize learning opportunities as they arise. Waiting too long may lead to loss of interest or relevance.

  "A Lesson in Compassion: How Kindness Transforms Lives" Reflection on Teddy and Mrs. Thompson’s Story The story of Teddy and Mrs. Thompson is a powerful reminder of the impact that compassion and understanding can have on a person’s life. Initially, Mrs. Thompson views Teddy as just another struggling student, treating him with indifference. However, when she learns about his heartbreaking past—losing his mother and feeling neglected—her perspective shifts. She begins to show him kindness, encouragement, and care, which in turn transforms Teddy’s life. Over time, he excels academically and expresses his deep gratitude for the teacher who believed in him. This story teaches us that every individual carry unseen struggles , and sometimes, all they need is someone to recognize their worth. It highlights the importance of empathy in education and in life —how a simple act of kindness can inspire hope and change the course of someone’s future. Mrs. Thompson's change of he...
