This is the last post for my current class, however I will continue to post randomly about my new position. Which I LOVE!!!!! I just finished up with testing and it was an experience. Overall it was a great experience, however being in the classroom, I do not think teachers understand how much work goes into preparing for test and then the time to pack up from testing. However, back to my class.
One quote that has really stuck with me during this class is "Play is an active part of learning that unites the mind, body and soul." This quote is something I now have displayed in my room and have given a copy to all my teachers. We as educators discuss getting our students engaged, well one way to get our students engaged as well as keeping them engaged is to play, this is also a great way for students to learn and practice. In order for students to continue to learn, they must have a love for it and by students using play, they are able to let go and learn independently. This quote should be remembered by all educators, not just elementary, but middle, high and even college classes. PLAY CAN BE EDUCATIONAL and in turn, students WILL learn.
Have a great rest of the week and I will do my best to continue to blog!!!!
