As I lay in bed, listening to the rain and reflecting about a week of learning that occurred in my classroom... I realized just how much fun I had this week! When I was in "teacher school", I had a professor who always said "learning can't be fun, it needs to be engaging". Although, I believe it does needs to be engaging... I do not necessarily believe in that statement. Kids don't really understand that lingo. To them "engaging" sounds boring and "fun" is a word that's in their vocabulary. I hate to say the "F" word to that particular professor, but my classes did have FUN this week! Here's a few activities we did this week in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade that I would like to share with all of you.
Those were just some of the games and activities that were planned this week. Next week is all planned in stone and ready to go! Can't wait to see my kiddos after the long weekend!
Happy Labor Day & Have FUN!
