    This is a nice technique which I would like to implement in my class. We drown in what the curriculum requires us to teach and forget about entertaining yet educational activities. I like the emphasis on the rules too! I'll be trying it sometime soon.

    Aha.. Interesting technique!! I should try it..
    Because entertainment and fun is very important in the teaching process. Also this type of activity improves students' skills in sharing their ideas freely in respective way. It also helps in creating a social relation "with limits" between the student and the teacher.

    We usually use ice break once we meet for a first time, but circle time is a technique you can use it every day and start you school day with it.

    Community Building Circles are about giving students opportunity to get to know each other and establish positive connections, including agreements about how they ought to treat each other. Every circle includes community-building activities in the beginning. Some circles focus exclusively on this task by building and deepening connections among students. Connection can be invited in several dimensions besides the interpersonal.

    Circle time is one of the most successful activities that could be done by any teacher. Other than ice breaking activities, it can be used for academic activities such as speaking or even reading to have students share their activities, or game-like activities to have students enjoy what they are learning.
    Remember our first session in this course? Miss Amal used a very similar activity to break the ice between students.

    This is an interesting technique. I will try to complement it at the beginning of each week. It helps me to motivate students to give and engage in class and they would accomplish best achievements. Also it helps in building better relationships between students and it is a good start of the day.

Our schools and the stone age

to make somebody believe you  when you say that school prepare students for future, you would have a look at these facts: - cars in 2017 very modern, but 150 years ago it was a wagon hitched to horse. - phones, mobiles are different with phones 150 years ago. - but what will you say if I tell you that classrooms these days are similar to classrooms 150 years ago; setting in straight lines, raise your hand when you want to speak and etc... I would die when I remember teachers standing in front of 45 students teach them in the same way. 45 students who have different gifts, different dreams and different interests. Fish will believe that it is foolish if we judge it by asking it to climb the tree.
