Dr. Kist's class on March 8, 2010

Today was fun--A type of class that I feel most students would enjoy. There were many laughs. The laughter was from the creativity of students.

Today's class was all about being open and being comfortable in the classroom. If a student did not feel comfortable, this class would have certainly helped him or her to gain some confidence and maybe some friends.

This is because all the activities used teamwork. All of the students had to work together to accomplish goals. Every student had to participate, or the class would fail---together.

I believe in the importance of teamwork in the classroom. The sequencing games, storyboarding, and the "I wish" poems all required input from the entire class.

I plan to use these activities in my classroom to build a community of students, friends, and learners. Together, we can grow.
