I am linking up with Deb from Fabulously First today for her
Teacher's Wisdom linky party. My advice, although it sounds simple, took me a loooooong time to incorporate. For years, everything I taught was about curriculum, curriculum, curriculum. Don't get me wrong, of course we have to teach our grade level expectations, but I had to reach a balance between teaching kids and teaching what kids want to learn. Rich, engaging learning that everyone is enthusiastic about is so exciting! Especially if you are able to incorporate hands-on activities or technology.
Hope that this is useful!
