7 Ways to Be a Teacher Who Makes a Difference

Child Playing with Bubbles


#1 Being prepared says you care! Prepare yourself by asking God for wisdom as you teach. Prepare the lesson by choosing the activities that will help the kids in your class play, listen and talk. The kids at my church seem to love games like the one in today’s lesson that used a balloon.
#2 Get down at a child’s eye level and listen as much as you talk. Ask questions to encourage each child’s participation. I use the questions in my curriculum—saves me time!
#3 Tell kids what they can do, instead of saying what they are supposed to stop doing. “If you want to sit next to your friend, I need you keep your hands to your self.” Wouldn’t you like to have a dollar for every time you’ve needed to say those words?
#4 Be a teacher of vision! See the most active, the most difficult or the most withdrawn child, not as a problem, but as a person to be loved into God’s family. Do you ever fall into the trap of thinking, “Oh, no. Here comes . . .” I need to view each child with God’s perspective.
#5 Teach respect by showing respect. Wait for a child to finish speaking before you talk. Model “please” and “thank you.” Show children the same respect that you would show to adults. Give kids a few minutes warning before ending their play activities. “It’s just about time to finish making our play dough faces.”
#6 Let your attitudes and actions demonstrate the truth of your words about Jesus’ love. The young child learns more from who you are than from what you say. Kids don’t wait for me to begin telling the Bible story before they begin learning. They are learning from the first minute they walk into my classroom.
#7 Give each child individual attention before negative behavior occurs. Use each child’s name often to get and keep the child’s attention. I want to the kids in my class to know that church is a safe place to be where they are loved and accepted.

Netizens wants ‘Taeng’ for Dream High Season 2!


After the succesful run of KBS2‘s Dream High and a Dream High Season 2 in the makings, speculation has started over which of the star-studded cast will be returning, as well as which new faces will be joining them.

In a poll being conducted on a korean portal site, our multi-talented leader Taeyeon has already quickly taken the lead as the celebrity netizens would most like to see on Dream High S2. Joining her in the rankings are Jessica and Yuri, was well as a long list of other well-known names such as Chan-sung, So-hee, Bae Yong-joon and Hye-rim.

To be honest, the likeliness of and SNSD member actually joining the cast is incredibly thin, with SM rejecting pretty much all the ‘love-calls’ that the girls are getting due to their busy busy schedules. Chances are the next time we’ll see a SoShi girl acting it’ll be an SM production – and even then it’s going to be a while as SM doesn’t have any acting plans in store for them for the time being. Still, it’s nice to know that k-Netizens want to see SNSD girls in more areas of entertainment as well.

Wooyoung call IU p1-2 (ENG)

2PM’s Wooyoung recently surprised IU by pretending to be a fan of hers on the phone!

When IU guested on the radio program, “Lee Soo Young’s Music Show“, she took a call from a very avid ‘fan’. Wooyoung pretended to be a boy from Busan who idolizes IU; consequently, when he first ‘learned’ that he was talking to IU, he kept saying, “Am I talking with IU? Is this really IU???

Wooyoung pulled out his acting skills to make his voice sound really shocked and nervous. When Lee Soo Young asked the fan why he liked IU, he replied “There’s no specific reason“. He said that all of his friends liked her, and loved seeing her on “Dream High“. Hilariously, he also told her not to talk to ‘Jason’ anymore because he’s “a bad person“.

The fan revealed himself to be an ‘aspiring singer from Busan’, and he wanted to sing a song for IU. He belted out the chorus from 2PM’s “Again & Again“, as IU listened on with amazement. Lee Soo Young was quick to pick up Wooyoung’s voice, and scolded, “Wooyoung, please stop!”, but IU remained clueless, even commenting that he sounded like either Wooyoung or Junsu.

When Wooyoung finally admitted his identity, IU was shocked and couldn’t hold back her laughter. Afterwards, she grabbed a sheet of paper to fan her face, and said that she couldn’t believe it was really Wooyoung. The two asked each other why they both haven’t been keeping in touch, and Wooyoung revealed that he was busy promoting in Japan.



Did Lady Gaga Plagiarized SNSD Song "Be Happy" "

A video shocking comparison between Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” and South Korean girl group SNSD “Be Happy” wonder-struck fans as both songs was found out to have a lot of similarities.
SNSD’s Be Happy is a bit higher but when it was pitched down into 2 notes both songs are obviously similar to each other.Looking on both songs lyrics, seems like the meaning is similar too.
Fact, SNSD’s Be Happy was released on their album “Oh” last year, January 28, 2010 while Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” was release as a single last February 11, 2011.
It’s not a brand new news to hear this kind of similarities but considering that Lady Gaga is a well renowned singer in the world, did she really plagiarize SNSD’s song?

Check out the comparison:

#Translation-

Stop being out so late
Try not to drink so often
You don't listen to me like a 10 year old child

I can only laugh
Who are you calling a child?
Really, I can only laugh

You don't know how it feels for me to say these things
You don't know that I only want to say nice things to you
Should I stop? Let's stop

From one to ten, they're all words for you
But since you don't listen to me, it's only nagging to you
Let's stop, let's stop
There's not even enough time to just love

A story told by the heart, not the mind
Stories that I can't help but tell you even if you hate them
Let's stop, let's stop
I only hear your nagging

Are you eating at the right time
Are you staying away from girls
I want to be beside you all day
That's how I feel
If I could keep you in my pocket
I'd be really happy

Our story where we can only be two
A story that would make someone laugh if they heard
Should I stop? Let's stop

From one to ten, they're all words for you
But since you don't listen to me, it's only nagging to you
Let's stop, let's stop
There's not even enough time to just love

A story told by the heart, not the mind
Stories that I can't help but tell you even if you hate them
Let's stop, let's stop
I only hear your nagging

Even if you glare and try to scare me
Your face is just too cute to me
Are you going to keep this up? (You) I can't hold back anymore
I really might get angry

A story that wouldn't be told if we were to give up love
The sound of my heart that thinks only of you
Even if you're angry, even if you shout
Your nagging is just so sweet to me

A story that can only be told if we love
But since you don't listen to me, it's only nagging to you
Let's stop, let's stop
But trust my feelings
