Amazing

Amazing is going back to your school practice and have as a present this story that you can see here

And more amazing is that it has been written by a child of 5 years old!

For me the real present is the satisfaction of watching how a kid that a few moths ago only know to write simple sentences, now writes this great story!

Absolutely amazing, and proud of the evolution of the child and the extraordinary work of the teacher with my help.

Looking forward to go back to school again.

Cesar Bona García

Here you can see the list of the top 50 Global teacher prize:

http://www.globalteacherprize.org/top-50-finalists

There we can find a César Bona García,  a Spanish teacher. 

This is such a good new because although our educational system can have good or bad things and stadistics says that we don't have one of the best education in the world, this pruves that there are great teachers in Spain, and the change to an excelent education is more near than we though and this is an example of that.

Now you can read here more about him:

César became a teacher to help children maximize their potential, become resilient and be prepared for their involvement in society. In his teaching at CEIP Puerta de Sancho in Zaragoza he follows the approach that it is not helpful to fixate on getting children to learn – rather, he wants to stimulate curiosity and give them the space to learn of their own accord.In addition to other awards, César was the recipient of the Ministry of Culture’s ‘CreArte’ award for encouraging creativity for two years running. He has spoken about education to the Congress of Deputies and at several universities. As well as appearing on national television, he was invited to speak at the World Congress for the Rights of Children and Adolescents about how society is in need of ideas and input from children.

And also here but as it is a recent Spanish new it is in spanish, but in case you are interested here is the link where explains better why is he nominated and what he does in his school practice:

HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT

Here I would like you to share one special school trip that we made to the ‘’Malvarosa’’ with the purpose of teaching the children the importance of environment and more over to help to plant some Valencia autochthonous plant. This was also a great opportunitie to develop the naturalistic multiple intelligence of Howard Gardner.

And I like it because they are invited to go in a few years and see what the result of their effort is and that’s so nice and educative, I my opinion.

Also I like it because here we worked all together children, teachers… and the result was fabulous and we make an union that mark our path throught that course.

Here you can see a picture of the planting:

Chosen

In this post I’m going to do a short reflection about the importance of give thing the real importance.

And for explain this first I would like you to read what is written in this photo:

Yes, maybe now you are thinking that that’s obvious, but isn’t it, I have seen many times specially when the teacher is a bit stress that the children gives her a present and not in purpose but the teacher doesn’t give any emotional feedback, only two words are said:

‘’oh, thanks’’.  And then put in in the desk or worst throw it in the bean.

And when we say this we don’t realize that that kid has do it with all her or his love, and although there are a lot of people that he or she can choose to give it to you, that kid choose you, and that is something that we don’t relies or we dint give the real importance that has.

Although you think that that rubbish, please make or say a little lie and make the kid as special for give you that resent as special eh child think you are. Because for that kid, what is giving to you is a real treasure.

An intruder letter

In this page of technology and digital things a letter has gate crasher, yes a real letter and you can see it in this video and if after seeing it, or before you want to know more about my opinion you can see it here:

http://jesicasblogletslearntogether.blogspot.com.es/2014/12/behind-letter.html

But the main of put it here is to remain the use of our hand writing of letter and the power of wasting our time in finding the precise word to put it in a piece of letter.

Here is the video:

Behind a letter

It is the continuation with my personal opinion of an intruder letter

So as I can see or better say though you are interested in my opinion. So here it goes. I’m not going to talk about the importance of writing by hand… here I’m going to talk about teachers, those type of teachers that love their children after years, because it is different for a teacher always doing to be here all of your students, but only for a few of them are going to be in their memory’s.

And here you can really see it, how twenty years later a teacher answer their student letters, and more important and is one of the things that I like most, that after twenty years and he doesn’t being more their teacher, again make them learn something more, that of course is not in books.

Moreover this video freaks me about and at de same time emotion me, because with the opinion speech of all of them make me again to realize the power of education, of teacher, of time, of learn…

I have no more words, if you haven’t seen it yet; please see it because is not going to leave you indifferent.

Here I put you again the video:

My future christmast gingerbread class

During a long time I have been thinking about how I would like my future class to be (physically), especially in christmast (that I absolutely love) and I use to keep all this ideas.

But the other fay watching them I sow this one, that I love and I would like to do, and each day I’m more near to achieve it.

I put it in reflections because I think that the fact of thinking about your future job and how you will do it is something that I thing that everyone should do because when you work constantly in it, it seems that is nearest that you though.

Also because this idea can be very useful to teach and to engaged children into heir new world, that they can participate in their creation and each season have one and decorate their learn, being more funny and nice.

I hope you like it
