I'm a graduate student. I study psychology and love reading new research. I like to kayak. I have diverse music tastes. I enjoy a lot of different music including classical and heavy metal. I am working on my thesis as a part of my studies. My thesis is on non-verbal communications. I read a lot of science journals.
I teach elementary school, like my parents did. I teach 3rd grade. I love board games. My favourite band is up, I've been to a concert of theirs. I love teaching reading the most but love teaching all subjects. I have a little reading area with nonfiction and fiction books in my classroom. My students gravitate towards fictional fairy tales and sci-fi more than factual writings.
I just read this really interesting scientific article on non-verbal communication between teachers and students that I'm thinking of including in my thesis. That sounds so intriguing! Would you want to possibly observe one of my elementary school classes sometime? If possible! We would have to send out consent forms, if that's okay?! That is completely fine! I love my students, and I think they genuinely love learning. I will send you an email next week with a formal plan. Thanks for helping! What is the most popular board game among your classes? They really like to play Dominoes if that counts! To be honest, I don't think dominoes counts as a board game. It is fun though! Any other ideas? The other board game they really love is chutes and ladders. Oh my goodness! I used to love that game as a kid! I am glad to hear you are sharing it with the younger generation. Do they complain about not having a computer screen to play on? No! I am actually so surprised they enjoy the actual physical board being there! I love it!! That is great to hear!! I always worry that too much of the younger generation is attached to technology. Yeah, I definitely try to avoid screens in the classroom. I want to make sure the students are focused and alert while class is in session.
