Teaching is....what? A passion, a lifestyle, a yearning or a calling? Maybe all and more. Every day brings a new thing to learn and another child (or me) learning it. I teach for the 'lightbulb' moment. That moment of realisation when a student and an idea connect.
"Treat all people as you would like to be treated, with kindness and compassion."
'Love is the greatest gift in all the world. Give it wisely and honestly; accept it gratefully and open heartedly.'
Class puzzle
-Create a puzzle with enough pieces for all students in the class.
-Put one name on each piece of the puzzle.
-As students arrive, get them to find their piece.
-They then have to find someone their piece connects to. Then find out 3 things about that person.
-Pairs then connect to others and find out more things.
-This continues until the whold class is connected.
