Tricks Of The Trade: Coming Soon!

In the coming months, I will be sharing some of the good ol’ tricks I used in the classroom, which provided students with a more positive, enjoyable classroom experience. I would implement short, sharp activities frequently in the classroom, because I saw results! My students appeared more motivated to work, concentration levels increased and the children were generally ‘happier’ to be at school. If you’re a teacher, I think you will really enjoy these activities, as you’ll probably laugh more with your students and build better relationships with your class.

Before revealing these activities, I think it’s important to understand why they should be used in the classroom. Some of the reasons why the activities I’ll be blogging about in the coming months are important within the classroom are outlined below (these are 3 scientific reasons to prioritise breaks at work https://open.bufferapp.com/science-taking-breaks-at-work/):

1.       Breaks keep us from getting bored

2.       Breaks help us retain information and make connections

3.       Breaks help us re-evaluate our goals

Yes the reasons above relate to adults at work, but I think the same can be said for children at work (school). Please sign up (if you haven’t already) to receive updates and I will keep you posted when I write about my first “trick!”
