Kuwentong Bangtan: Happy 4 Years BE!

BE is 4 years old today!

BE is a heartfelt and intimate album that perfectly captures the collective emotions of resilience and hope during challenging times, specifically, the pandemic of 2020. It offered songs with soothing melodies and reflective lyrics that provided a sense of connection and solace, making BE a timeless reminder of how music can heal and unite during moments of global uncertainty.

The lead track, “Life Goes On”, stands out for me with its gentle, easy melody that offers comfort and reassurance, embodying a quiet yet powerful determination to persevere no matter what life throws our way. Coming in second is, “Blue & Grey”, as it shines as an emotional masterpiece, with V’s velvety voice delivering raw vulnerability and an ethereal falsetto that ascends beautifully, leaving a lingering impact. Together, the album’s introspective themes, sincere lyricism, and diverse soundscapes create a deeply personal listening experience that speaks to the heart of any listener navigating life’s ups and downs.

Thank you, BTS! You really are ARMY’s forever artist!

Poetry After Pepito

The storm has passed

The morning sky is clear

No red sunrise

but only the moon

A vestige of its full glory

The Lighthouse Diary #65: Towards A Combined Expertise for Student Achievement

For the past two weeks, we have had the pleasure of collaborating with MYP subject teachers.

💙 We helped them identify technology and texts that meet learning objectives.

💚 We facilitated research skills sessions for MYP students in grades 7, 8, and 10.

💙 We selected and curated books for a small library for our grade 7 students to explore in the coming days.

💚 We recommended texts and sources for guided research in grade 10.

By collaboration with our MYP teachers, the library's role in learning is given importance. By working together to support student learning and development, teachers’ subject expertise is combined with the librarian’s knowledge of resources and research strategies. 

Together, we create a richer, more comprehensive educational experience. This partnership ensures that students not only meet their learning objectives but also build essential skills like critical thinking, information literacy, and a love for reading that will benefit them in all areas of life.
