Miracle is the most intelligent boy I have in basic one. He's only 5yo and he's very good in all the subject areas especially mathematics.
I could remember the day I was teaching them subtraction,he asked me "Aunty I hope this is minus sign" and I said yes. Then I asked how he knew it was minus and he said it's from his brother's class. Yes there was a time they were merged with primary two when their class teacher resigned.
So as I was writing on the board, he's busy counting and subtracting with his fingers or drawing strokes at the back of his book to get the answers and I was marvelled.
Immediately I finished writing for them and proceeded to write on the other side of the board for the other class,he announced that he has finished in his tiny voice 😂.Finished without me explaining the concept to them, wow. This is really his pattern. He submits immediately you left the board and he always get his answers right.
And whenever he finished writing,he will go ahead and start helping his class mates and he's a very good teacher too 😁
Honestly,am glad he now stays in class whenever he's done writing cos in his previous class,he hardly stay in class but any question their teacher asked him during test or exams he answers correctly leaving the teacher marvelled and his teacher will always say" miracle you that is always outside pursuing insects(ukpara)how do you get to know the answer" 😂 . That guy really give me headache then cos he'll cause me to come outside to checkmate and send him back inside his class.
One day he told me that if I become his class teacher he'll always remain in class till break period and as case may have it their teacher resigned due to salary backlogs and I moved them to my class and since that January Miracle has kept to his words 😁
Have I mentioned about his handwriting? He has an eligible writing. He's the only pupils using biro in the class though I was the one that brought the idea to him last term and as we resumes for this term,that was his first demand 😊 these children never forgets.
Pupils like him boosts my passion for teaching and am glad that he's learning rapidly.
