Making assessments intriguing is something I always look forward to! 📚✨ This time, each student picked a random item from a bag and built their own version of events around it. And before anyone asks... no, I don’t let kids use phones in class, it was a broken phone! 😂 Bonus points if you can spot the kid wearing the bracelet! 👀

POV: You tell your students to “make it creative”… and they turn in something that belongs in a museum. ☕📜🎭

Every page was hand-aged with coffee, every detail carefully planned, and every bit of research presented with so much pride.

To my students: thank you for reminding me that learning is at its best when passion meets effort. I’m so proud of you all. 🤍

My students drew this, and honestly… they got the face right. 😂❤️
Being a teacher has made me more careful about the people I let into my life.
Not everyone has good intentions, and some people can undo what you’ve worked so hard to build.
But it has also shown me the purest kind of love through my students. They remind me every day why I keep showing up.

Protect your peace. Love deeply. Trust wisely. Be selective. ❤️

In a culture where private tuition is often seen as the norm, this achievement means so much to me. 👩🏻‍🏫🌸

Two of my students, who relied solely on my teaching for English Literature, scored a perfect 30/30. While the grade itself is remarkable, what makes me most proud is knowing that the confidence, knowledge, and skills developed in our classroom were enough to achieve it.

Sometimes, as teachers, we need moments that remind us of our own capabilities. This was one of those moments for me.

Beyond proud of my students, and deeply grateful for the trust placed in me throughout the journey. ❤️🙏🏻

And just like that, my class teacher era comes to an end. ✨

Moving on as a subject teacher, but I’ll definitely miss those 19 little knuckleheads who made every day brighter (and louder).

What a privilege it is to be so loved. Every smile, every random story, every rage-baiting moment reminded me why I do this.

Forever grateful for the imprint they’ve left on me. ❤️

The word 'stress' is often used lightly, but in teaching, it carries the weight of endless planning, emotional labour, late nights, early mornings, and countless sacrifices made quietly. Teachers juggle more than anyone sees, give more than anyone realises, and still show up every day. This post is for every teacher in 2025—because if no one else stops to thank you, I will. 👩‍🏫🩵✨

My OL batch at Gateway College Negombo made me really proud with 5 Distinctions and 5 Merits! (Despite the last minute changes what were made) 🥰🥹

I never wanted to be those “speech and drama teachers” with multiple red marks across the book!

I remember when my book was an absolute nightmare and how I despised looking at it whenever I had to study.

Yet, now I find myself colouring my kids books! 🥲🙈

Guilty! 🙈🤭
