Probably the most challenging and difficult department to teach in SICAC is the pre-school. It takes a lot of skill and experience to be able to impart knowledge and love for learning to very young minds. We are very fortunate and thankful that we have the best fitting teachers for our pre-school, our two very talented, able but humble "B" tandem - Teacher Beth and Teacher Belen.
Teacher Beth disciplines her students. But as a pre-school teacher and a loving mother, she disciplines with love, that's why her students adore her and are inspired by her. We have interviewed one of the students in SICAC and said, "Since we enrolled at SICAC, we've seen how creative she is in handling her students with different personalities and weaknesses. And for years, her dedication and passion to teach yields a great harvest." Because of Teacher Beth, SICAC greatly improves each year with success.
SICAC is excellent in promoting quality education and Teacher Beth has proved that herself by being an example and being true to what the SICAC emblem means. Just like a true SICACian, she is Godly, nationalistic, respectful, and with good values.
Another boy said that "Teacher Beth has planted a seed in all students." Because Teacher Beth understands that the formative years is the most important years in a child's life, she sees to it that seeds such as value for education, love for family & friends, and God's word are all rooted firmly in a child's heart so that, "each student will be a great harvest," the boy continues.
Many also say that Teacher Beth has a great future to look forward to. As one girl said, "Teacher Beth disciplines her students very well and shares the word of God at the same time. She has always been faithful and always trusts in God. I can see that she and her school will have a bright and successful future!" Because she loves and obeys the Lord by always sharing the word of God to all students, we know that God will bless her abundantly and grant all her dreams for SICAC. Since Teacher Beth loves sharing the word of God, we know that God will bring to SICAC more and more students so that she will have more children to reach out for God's glory.
Teacher Belen is very responsible and disciplines her students very well. She has always been there for her students to watch and guide them. One of her students said that, "She is good when she disciplines - she shows respect." Teacher Belen shows that one doesn't need to be too strict when disciplining pre-school students. You just need to talk to them properly and give respect even to the smallest and youngest of her pupils and they will follow. Teacher Belen enjoys teaching her students and she never forgets to have fun with them.
Teachers are God's
gift to us. Although we may not always realize it, they are always
patient and loving towards all students. And although we don't always
show it, we, as students, love and appreciate them very much. The work
of a teacher is never easy, and we salute all SICAC teachers for their
dedication and passion for teaching and loving us all.
