You are taking the time to reflect on what you are doing and change as necessary in order to meet the needs of the group. Children are so much fun to work with and I think things like "parting the water" are perfect teaching moments. Keep up the good work! Love you!

Quality teaching requires rigorous preparation.<br /><br />Also, the 10-minute attention period for children is typical for most adults, too!!! After 10 minutes the minds begin to wander and the concentration begins to wane.<br /><br />Keep on learning, Michael.<br /><br />Shalom.Lloyd Sheaffernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306641596378592680.post-23606557461663826372011-02-07T14:16:25.445-05:002011-02-07T14:16:25.445-05:00This is a wonderful observation, Michael.
