Teaching Kids



I remember reading a book a long time ago, that said that children have  solutions for all worlds' problems. They actually had drawings done by kids that demonstrated highly advanced solutions( simple) for the greatest problems of the world.
Working with 3 to 6 year old kids is such a stimulating experience.
While playing a simple game where children had to come up with innovative ideas of creating a cap. there were caps of every size and color. A small girl wanted a water bottle on her cap so she could sip water and quench her thirst. An invisible cap or a rainbow cap, a cloud cap that always rained on you . a thinking cap, a sleep cap, a dream cap , a laughter cap ,A plant cap for everyone to protect nature, an ice cap that kept your head cool in summer, a helicopter cap that could take you places , a sun cap, a light cap , a nest cap for the birds to rest and the best of all a MAMA cap that would hug & kiss you and love you all the time.
To ignite a child's' imagination is challenging your own creative ability. You cannot force information into their growing minds or force movement into their developing bodies. When learning becomes fun  the possibilities of self discovery is end less.You need to constantly develop tools that challenge their abilities.One of my friends had this as her status message" She thinks the best teachers are those u tell u things u already know :) . 
:) .. Just love dancing with these little angels.. They are my sweetest, cutest , most adorable and knowledgeable teachers ever!
