Fun Visit at Yabu ES!๐ซโจ
Our Schools Division Superintendent, Dr. Susan S. Collano, dropped by Yabu Elementary School to spread some great energy and inspiration! She popped into the classrooms for a quick chat with the kidsโchecking in on their reading skills and cheering them on to come to school every single day and do their best. She also set an exciting challenge for everyone: to make sure every pupil becomes a reader! Before leaving, she took time to catch up with our hard-working teachers, giving them a big boost of motivation, words of encouragement, and thanking them for all their dedication. Thank you so much, Maโam Susan, for visiting and showing so much love to our school family! โค๏ธ๐
๐ต๐ญ PAKIKIISA SA PAGDIRIWANG NG BUWAN NG WIKA 2026 ๐ต๐ญ
Nakiisa ang buong pamayanan ng Yabu Elementary School sa pambansang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika na may temang:ย
"Wikang Filipino at AI: Kasangkapan sa Pananaliksik at Tulay sa Yaman ng Impormasyon"
Sa layuning mapalalim ang pagmamahal at kaalaman ng ating mga mag-aaral sa wikang pambansa, isinagawa ang isang makabuluhang oryentasyon upang bigyang-kamalayan ang mga bata tungkol sa kasaysayan ng ating wika. Tampok dito ang pagkilala kay Manuel L. Quezon, ang "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa," at ang pagbibigay-diin sa kahalagahan ng pagpapahalaga sa ating sariling wika.
Ipinaliwanag din sa mga mag-aaral sa simpleng paraan ang kahulugan ng ating tema ngayong taon:
Ipinapakita nito na ang Artificial Intelligence (AI) ay isang modernong kagamitan na tumutulong sa ating pag-aaral at paghahanap ng kaalaman. Kasabay nito, ang Wikang Filipino ang nagsisilbing tulay upang ang mga impormasyong ito ay maging mas madaling maintindihan, makabuluhan, at magagamit ng bawat Pilipino.
Pormal ding inilunsad ang iba't ibang malikhaing gawaing nakatakdang gaganapin sa loob ng bawat silid-aralan sa buong buwan. Sa pamamagitan ng mga gawaing ito sa klase, patuloy nating itinataguyod ang kulturang Pilipino at inihuhubog ang ating mga mag-aaral na maging buong-pusong may pagmamalaki sa ating pambansang pagkakakilanlan.ย
