Music! Dancing! Learning! Bears! 🤸🏻‍♂️🐻👨🏻‍🔬💃 "Danny Go!" is a live-action educational children's show filled with music, movement and silliness. Created in 2019 by 3 childhood friends in Charlotte, North Carolina, the show inspires learning and off-the-couch exercise for kids ages 3 to 7.

My students often want to head back to their tables as soon as I begin to give directions. To prevent this we use a "go word". Each week I choose a new "go word" that is fun to say and that we can learn what it means and try to use. This week it is fiddle dee dee. The week before spring break it was bumfuzzle. These are actual words. The class loves it and they stay focused for all of my directions. I just google fun words for first graders to say and choose a word.

Cosmic Kids Yoga is a great resource for movement breaks! I watch the video ahead of time and break it into pieces, giving kids the heads up that we'll be following the story throughout the week. This provides me with a movement break that they really look forward to as they want to track the story, too! I linked a playlist with a bunch of Spanish videos. But if you go to the Creator page, you'll see that there are TONS move resources in English, too!

This year, one phrase that has been really helpful for students in the 3-5 range on the 5-point scale is, "Do you need me to help, do you need to be heard, or do you need a hug?" It has helped kids de-escalate much quicker to a 1-2.

Take on the role as "Wax Museum Curator" with this simple brain break movement activity/game. Have a book (with a few pictures) you just finished reading? Do a Wax Museum where you pick out pictures from the story for students to recreate as "wax figures". This is the perfect opportunity to review a story or theme. Call out group number, show picture for students to reenact, explain why the picture is significant. The pic I included above is a great example that I use for Cultura learning about the UK. So much to talk about with one family picture!

1. Gamified Version -

1. Hand out playing cards to the quietest or most accurate groups (card values to make the game less competitive! For me, 3 of hearts is worth 30, so someone could win with just one card.)

2. Give out bonus cards to students who can explain the importance of the picture or names of characters or places.

2. Zero Prep Version - Use doc cam

1. Call out group number for students to form (CELEBRATING THE GROUPS THAT ARE INCLUSIVE, even if it's not the exact number)

2. Show picture under doc cam for students to recreate with group.

3. Explain (or call on students to explain) the importance of the picture as it relates to the story or theme.

Teaching FASTly honors both FAITH and SCIENCE while exploring their rich and varied interactions

Faith

Science

Excellent teaching that encompasses both FAITH and SCIENCE means much more than occasionally addressing controversies. The classroom can be a place to encourage growth in love and appreciation for God and his creation. FAITH and SCIENCE connect in a rich variety of ways including: virtues that come into play when we practice science, motivations behind scientific study, reflections on both the nature of truth and complex ethical questions, and the appreciation of wonder and beauty. How can we help students develop in all these facets of learning?

This website is intentionally built around concrete examples of teachers connecting Christian faith with their teaching.

Get started

This website is intentionally built around concrete examples of teachers connecting Christian faith with their teaching.

This site is for teachers who want their classrooms to be places with a Christian ethos or atmosphere, whatever the subject or age group they teach.
It explores what teaching and learning might look like when rooted in Christian faith, hope, and love. It does this by offering over 100 concrete examples of creative classroom work and an approach that enables teachers to develop their own examples.

Start exploring

The examples are inspired by the classroom work of teachers.
Each tells a story of how teaching can be designed to be distinctively Christian in a particular topic or lesson. Each includes an explanation of how it connects with the wider approach and ways to dig deeper and create more examples.

This is not a collection of recipes; it is an array of fresh ideas to help you renew your teaching.

Start exploring

"What if Learning" is a "distinctively Christian" approach developed by an international partnership of teachers from Australia, the UK, and the USA.
It is based on the premise that a Christian understanding of life makes a difference in what happens in classrooms. Its aim is to equip teachers like you to develop their distinctively Christian teaching and learning strategies for their own classrooms.

Start exploring

The Big Picture

Connecting education to Christian faith necessarily means drawing in some way on Christian theology. Christian theology is a rich and deep topic, the study of a lifetime for some. But this site does not exist to provide a course in theology - it focuses on the practice of Christian teaching and learning. We have therefore considered how to draw upon theology in a way that is concise enough for teachers to work with, rich enough to open up further exploration, and focused on genuinely central issues.

Faith

The word faith means different things to different people. For some it is a positive word, conveying the sense of security associated with trusting a reliable person. For others it is a negative word, where having faith is seen as laying your brain aside.

Hope

Although often tempted to despair by the state of the world, the human heart insists on hoping for something better.

Love

Clearly, love is a pretty flexible word in English. It seems to be able to cover experiences ranging from intense romantic attraction to enjoyment of food and entertainment.
