5 Reasons I Like My Class

Sometimes teaching is tough and tiring. It's good to remember the recent positives ...

1. The questions that seem to come from right angles! They often tell of a student making connections with their world.

2. The excitment bubbling from students confronted with a creative opportunity.

3. The grin and wide eyes as a student whispers "Look! I think I get it!" as we look at the relationship between multiplication and division.

4. The inquisitive questions that reflect an eagerness to understand.

5. The silence in reading as students retract from the classroom and move into a world of words and imagination.
