THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE SMARTER YOU GROW

Reading –let’s face it – is a vital part of learning. When someone thinks of school, reading something – an article, a story, a book, a test question – either pops directly into the conscious mind or flits from the subconscious level, tickling the edges of the conscious train of thought. But why is reading so important? Is it because the better a reader a student is, the easier of a time that student has understanding directions for an assignment; the easier it will be for that student to complete the assigned work; or the easier it will be for that student to complete an essay in any subject area? Actually, those are only parts of why student success depends so hugely upon his or her success in reading.

Reading imparts on students a much richer vocabulary than just hearing spoken words can possibly provide. Rarely does a spoken conversation include a description of an angry individual becoming inflamed at a remark, rather than getting mad at what someone said. We as a society tend to ask questions, but reading helps us to inquire or compile a query instead. This vocabulary will take a younger student who proclaims while exasperated that someone ‘cutted’ them in line, along a tremendous path toward higher education and beyond academia into what is commonly termed the ‘real’ world.

The ability to read not only helps a student to do well in language arts classes, but all subjects, as well as allowing common tasks to become easier. It’s easier to sign up for wireless service when you know what you are signing, and cooking a special meal for the first time to impress that special someone is more likely to come out well if you can read the recipe properly, and  understand the importance of following the steps in order. Reading even helps us communicate in writing better by allowing us to know how words are spelled and how grammar works – whether we choose to use it in our texts or not.

Educators have said for years how important reading is for student success – which is quite true. However, it is more than that. Reading is important for Life success. The more you know, the smarter you grow – so pick something up and read!

"Filipino: Wikang saliksik"

Wika ang pinakamagandang regalo ng Maykapal sa atin. Ito ang nagsisilbing tulay sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa kapwa, sa asosasyon at sa institusyon. Malakin ang nagagawa ng wika sa pagkakaroon ng maayos at magandang ugnayan, unawaan at mabuting pagsasamahan. Ang Pilipinas ay may isanfg wika na nagiging daan para magkaintindihan ang bawat Pilipino at ito ay ang wikang Filipino. Napakahalaga ng wika dahil kung wala ito paano pa kaya magkakaintindihan ang mamamayan at paano pa mas mapapabilis ang ating pag-unlad Tuwing buwan ang Agosto, ipinagdiriwang natin ang buwan ng wika.  At ang tema ng buwan ng wika ngayong taon ay "Filipino: Wikang Saliksik". Layunin nitong gamitin ang wikang Filipino sa pananaliksik. Gamitin ang wika sa pagbabahagi ng mga impormasyon gaya na lamang ng pakikipagtalastasan o ang pagsusulat. Dahil sa paggamit ng ating wika mas mapapadali tayong magkaintindihan at maiparating kung ano nga ba ang nais nating ibahagi nang hindi nagkakaroon ng hindi pagkakaunawaan

Every month of July we celebrate the Nutrition Month and there's a theme annually for 2018. The theme is "Ugaliing magtanim, Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin!" This theme focuses on food production at home through the family's own garden because having food gardens can help improve the family as well as the community's food security. If you have plenty of vegetables or fruit crops you can even sell some to earn additional income for the family. Growing your own fruits and vegetables will save your money at the store. So each of the families should have their own garden to make sure that those fruits and veggies that your eating is fresh and organic because fresh fruits and vegetables have more nutrients compared to those that are not organically cultivated and staled. And if you buy in the grocery store you don't know if the fruits and vegetables are not fresh or not clean. Healthy diet helps protect against malnutrition. It plays an important role in securing tha
