Misty's+thoughts

Choose one of the habits and consider:

When do you see the habit being employed by your students? What triggers or helps to encourage that habit?

My students find humor and laughter when we attempt new materials, concepts, and start getting frustrated with social situations. Some of the triggers for the humor is the para's that work with the kids will do something to make the kids laugh or ask them a simple question about what they are doing and the kids will laugh. Another trigger is that we do silly things all the time in the room to keep the atmosphere light and encouraging. We do silly dances and songs for the kids to learn new materail and sometimes the kids come up with silly songs, poems or stories to share things or learn new material.

Misty, This makes me smile :-) Suzanne

Misty, I do not have any plans as yet except our afternoon class so almost any time to visit your class will work. I am trying to set up a Girl Scout meeting, but I can work around that. And the 25th, we will probably be headed to St. Louis because we are seeing Wicked the next day. Betsy



Mine: What real world connections are you considering? What would be the role of the students? >> What project scenario are you considering?  Misty 's Essential Question:
 * ** The need to get along with others helps us get further in the world
 * Not all people are the same but we can draw from one another to work towards a goal
 * To decide similarities/differences
 * To discover how to build on relationships
 * A presentation on how we benefit from not all being the same
 * Write their own book about being different and how they can help a group

How are we different from others? >>
