Verbs that refer to feelings or states of being, like to love and to be, are known as nonaction verbs. Conversely, the verbs that do refer to literal actions are known as action verbs. Adverbs An adverb is a word that describes an adjective, a verb, or another adverb. Take a look at these examples: Here’s an example: I entered the room quietly. Quietly is describing how you entered (verb) the room. Prepositions Prepositions tell you the relationship between the other words in a sentence.  Here’s an example: I left my bike leaning against the garage. In this sentence, against is the preposition because it tells us where I left my bike. Conjunctions Conjunctions make it possible to build complex sentences that express multiple ideas.   I like marinara sauce. I like alfredo sauce. I don’t like puttanesca sauce. Each of t...

Equal and fairly treatment of all learners in schools

All learners or students need to be treated equal in schools. According to the Education Act 16 (2001) of the Namibian constitution states that all learners needs to be treated fairly regardless of their sex,age and race and their background  Teachers or educators needs to know the difference between equity and equality.  Equality  -is all about treating people the same regardless of status, rights and opportunities.  Equity  -is about treating people fairly and customizing that treatment to what they might need. Equity is understanding that all students come from different backgrounds and should be treated fairly based on those differences. This idea can be best seen in cases of students in special education and the mainstream classroom. Educators should be able to adapt their lessons to all different learning styles and provide differentiation strategies. Because of the diverse needs of students, it is the job of the teacher to focus on equity above equality. ...

 Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance.  In schools, teacher's, Principals,HODs etc. needs to pay attention to students when it comes to bullying.

Inspirational poem

 Lesson Learned Every Day A lesson is learned every day, The one I learned was just today. I learned that others can’t be pressed, To do or act as I feel best. I've learned that people are their own, And only I can change the known. If I don't like how something is, Changing me is all there is. So next time you come across this issue, Don't get mad and grab a tissue. Change the way that you react, And that will have a positive impact. A lesson is learned every day, What lesson did you learn today? Whatever it is, I'm sure it's great, Take what you've learned, don't let it wait.
