All ofmy children have been homeschooled at one time or another and people keep asking me, "How do you do it?" and "How do you find time?" <br />Homeschooling is, for me, a lesson in "thinking outside the box". Everything goes, in the order you choose, in the time frame you think is best. I love this piece!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-45485905324440661192011-04-17T11:37:59.704-07:002011-04-17T11:37:59.704-07:00Hi, Meryl. The "lesson" that stayed with...Hi, Meryl. The "lesson" that stayed with me the most was something I was so ready to hear as a pre-teen. It was what my Health teacher said: "Beauty is an illusion, and we can create it." That was how she introduced the subject of good grooming and hygiene. It spoke to my early insecurities about not having been born beautiful enough to get by without make-up. It assured me that wearing just a smidgeon of make-up wasn't making me a fake (oh, the hang-ups of a pre-teen.)<br /><br />I'm a ballroom dance teacher now, in mid-life, and I use analogies and pop culture references to help things stick and lighten up when my adult students get frustrated with themselves. It gets interesting when the age range is wide. Young adults can't relate when I say we'll be moving across the ballroom floor in "counterclockwise" direction—they grew up with digital timekeepers.<br /><br />So it's so true, people learn differently, and we need to teach to reach not just the non-existent "average" student but each unique mind we are privileged to be teaching.Scrollworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761198237613139398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-34957189780480352952011-04-17T06:09:27.195-07:002011-04-17T06:09:27.195-07:00Thank you, Dawn for the award, and thank you Linda...Thank you, Dawn for the award, and thank you Linda for your invitation.

Unfortunately, with the emphasis on standardized testing and NCLB, there is little room left for teachers to deviate from the "teach to the test" curriculum in so many classrooms. <br />One of my best memories is 6th grade social studies. We were learning about the ancient Greeks and our teacher had us do a presentation in whatever way we chose. A group of us did a "Romeo and Juliet" type of soap opera with the lovers from Athens and Sparta. We even had commercials having to do with ancient Greece. I still remember some of it today! This took so much class time, though, that I don't think a teacher could pull it off in today's classroom.Lolamousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508347229501155001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-45078837364487187992011-04-15T04:57:17.641-07:002011-04-15T04:57:17.641-07:00Great advice (as usual!) :D We love taking the kid...Great advice (as usual!) :D We love taking the kids to museums and science centers and letting them be our "guide" as they relate the exhibits to their lessons.Samantha Sottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116257082088369600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-44242436145504257152011-04-14T22:41:23.135-07:002011-04-14T22:41:23.135-07:00I love how you use the themes to discuss education...I love how you use the themes to discuss educational psych.

One was 'Oh My goodness', where we would pull there hands up to their faces (this is well before taking stage) and his mother had to report to me that one day upon picking him up from daycare someone in the other room said those words out loud to something on the TV, and his little hands went up to his face & smiled.
