Teaching

We are all aware of recent research and new teaching techniques.  However, sometimes it is just the little things that make a difference in getting learning to occur.  Whether you want to call them "tricks of the trade" or "ideas that have worked for me," we are just happy teachers with passion do not give up!

Answer 4

We asked for donations of old cowboy boots (garage sales & resale stores have them too) and we made bird houses and planters out of them.  It was great fun!  

Answer 5

I worked in a school where they had a Texas boot contest.  Each student was given a paper boot and allowed to decorate any way they wished.  Parents loved it, and some even got involved.
