RESPOND TO STUDENTS POST Laura post You are so correct with saying "students have so much to say". Boy do they ever! Lol Many children no matter the age seem to point when they are wanting something, it is our responsibility as educators to teach them to use their words and verbalize what they are wanting, needing or looking for. Teaching our young scholars how to communicate properly is a great skill in the critical thinking aspect. I know that this past school year we worked really hard on getting our little ones to understand the importance of looking at someone when they are speaking to them, not pointing away at something and then speaking in the other direction to the air. You can't help with what they are needing unless you can 1) hear what is being said, 2) able to understand clearly what is being stated. Communication clearly and thinking through what information is needed to be given is a learned skill. Richard post the power of play Teachers must use the power of play to help teach students in a creative way that makes learning fun and memorable. Play keeps students focused and engaged on the topic of the day. In my current role I set an intention everyday, and I usually say something that's super inspirational and encouraging. A few months ago I decided that my intention was going to be for the team to just have fun. That weekend we exceeded our goal because everyone was just having fun, everyone likes to have fun and as teachers we must use fun to connect with our students. Tristen post I agree with you that observation comes naturally to me when looking at the world. I believe that all of these kind of come natural to most people however the imagining and the synthesis comes a little harder. I have found that there are a lot of people that have a hard time with imagining how things can be. I myself when reading a book for instance have a hard time thinking and imagining how things are in the book. How do you think people can improve this in their life?
