I was able to do that in Ecuador and it is nice to see different people’s teaching methods and strategies. Your story about the cheese sandwich reminds me of a time when I was in elementary school and we were working on procedures, too. My teacher demonstrated how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich by listening to our instructions. In the end the peanut butter container was sitting on top of the bread bag and the jelly was balancing on top. It was a great learning lesson and showed me that when dealing with procedures it is important to include every detail! <br /> I also find your comment about how the desks are set up in your classroom interesting. When I think back to my days in school most of my teachers used the horseshoe format but all the classrooms I have been in now do not. I agree that it discourages group work but I also think it depends on the class. My class here in Ecuador is very good at working together and getting their assignments done. My class that I had last year in Thomas Edison in Bright was very different. The students would have benefited from the horseshoe shape.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084273106714836507noreply@blogger.com
