This Teaching Thing is like..... Whoa!!!!

This teaching thing is definitely challenging .... It makes you say WOW.... This past week I felt much connected with my students by engaging them as learners with fun activities .... Sometimes I sit up and think in the middle of the night ,on What I can do to connect my students and keep them hyped with the lesson ..... For instances past week I came up with something exciting for the class for the study of (Bacteriology) I carried out my excitement to the friendly neighborhood Walmart . There I was in search for some magnetic Alphabet letters , similar to the the elementary and preschoolers used at home on the fridge ..... Well anyway I said as I approached the children's aisle in search for my letters .... Today we will have a better understanding of this weeks word wall, Today we will play " THE SOUL TRAIN SCRAMBLE BOARD .... each pack of letters may cost you just $1.00, however this is a fun activity for the student and also a great group activity .... Then on to the next activity I then used the world famous TWISTER GAME... use your word wall or terms for the lesson you want to introduce them to .... This is fun and it makes the students say WOW... Connecting everything to the standard , making learning fun ... Connecting the learner to the lesson and the lesson to the learner ... This past week has made my teaching eventful and engaging ,This teaching thing is like WHOA!!!!!!!!

  1. Good idea Selina. Sometimes I feel like I get in a rut and am just trying to get throught the day. You are extra creative which is what the kids need.
