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.'
Shoe-fun
-Have children take off one shoe and put it on their desk.
-They now need to write an accurate description of their shoe.
-Next put all the shoes in a pile on the floor.
-Collect in the descriptions, shuffle them and pass them back out again.
-As a group use the descriptions to find each shoe.
-Once all shoes are located critcally discuss the descriptions.
