Speaking with Legit.ng, Melody Edeme, a seasoned teacher with over 10 years of experience, shared how she celebrated her students' wins.
She said:
"My students have won Chess, debate, spelling bees, mental maths and art competitions. It made me feel really good and inspired; not just because of the excitement of winning, but mostly because of effort and determination they put into the preparation which was also as a result of my support and constant motivation to achieve more.
"I celebrate their wins in different fun ways. It could be by declaring a period free when we could just have fun and celebrate outside the classroom but within the school premises. Sometimes, it's a no-assignment Friday. On some occasions (depending on how big the competition is), I give them little gifts with handwritten notes including words of cheer and encouragement."
