Tangible Teaching

As this school year comes to a close and (hopefully) back to fully in-person classes next fall, I have been thinking about how to use all this distance learning experience we have gained.

What about an international book club? Would it be possible to connect through reading with other students by using books to share insights and gain understanding? What do you think?

For some reason, my students LOVE to write on whiteboards. Combined with their social natures (especially middle and high schoolers) learning can be leveraged without adult intervention. Try it with your student: put a whiteboard, a set of colorful markers, and a math assignment in front of them and watch the laughter and learning occur. It's like magic! Throw in some brownies and soda and they may never leave.

When we forget where we came from and our experiences, we lose our way. Teach your children their history lest they lose sight of what matters.

Expressions such as this note from a student remind me why I am honored and humbled to stand before them each day. ❤️ ❤️
