Food for Thought...

Something to think about...

If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job. ~Donald D.

Getting the Most out of Children’s Literature in the Classroom

One of the best things about reading is that it is so versatile and it can be used in conjunction with all subjects in the classroom. When you give children something exciting to read, they enjoy reading and therefor enjoy learning. Instead of having one part of the day dedicated strictly to reading, use literature throughout the day in small increments so that children do not become overwhelmed and the content becomes more relatable for your students. When you construct your lesson plans in this way, children can focus more and use class materials in a more successful and meaningful way.
