I love helping them develop entrepreneurial skills and that's why we participate in different activities.

I try to encourage my young students to participate in projects that will help them  develop their creativity and see things from a different perspective. ]]> 2017-03-27 15:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162853222 ladyss https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162854242 2017-03-27 15:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162854242 ladyss https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162857161 2.1 - Look(ing) into the future: Most boys want to become football players or policemen. Girls want to become hairdressers, ballet dancers, models, teachers or doctors. Most students are unanimous in saying they want to have a job that pays well rather than doing something they are passionate about... well, they're still 6 years old and I bet they'll change their mind along the way.]]> 2017-03-27 15:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162857161 ladyss https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162860021 As my students are quite young, it's common for them to get into conflicts in the breaks between classes so together we try to solve the problems and everyone shares ideas, so next time they come across a similar situation, they'll know exactly what to do.]]> 2017-03-27 15:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162860021 ladyss https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162861886 What can we do in order to keep our streets and beaches cleaner?

This question made them (6-year old students) realise that everyone should be recycling and doing their best to keep our planet cleaner.

Vision: to look at the future and the world through different perspectives and as creatively as possible.]]> 2017-03-27 15:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162863932 ladyss https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162864571 3.1 - Self-awareness and self-efficacy:
Short term goal: to finish this course and being able to implement some ideas in the classroom
Steps to achieve this goal: intense planning (even though I do it, the young age of my students always bring the "surprise" factor into the classroom which makes it difficult to follow the plan sometimes... but I will try harder)

Long term goal: writing a novel
Steps: as a fan of literature,I always dreamt of writing a novel but never found the time/strength and never came up with the perfect plot for the story... so I will keep on trying harder.]]> 2017-03-27 15:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162864571 ladyss https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162865974 This was the 1st time I heard about Genius Hour and I think it is an awesome idea. I will try to think of ways of implementing it in a first grade class. It's difficult considering the lack of resources but I guess I'll try something with Arts and Crafts.

In the classroom we often talk about the best way to spend their "hard-earned" money. Older students from other classes have lectures about this issue and they seem to be very effective.]]> 2017-03-27 15:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162867733 ladyss https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162868343 Portugal is a small country but we have great cities such as Porto, which was just considered Europe's Best Destination!

If we actually think like this, we'll be able to be better teachers and leaders and pass this message on to our students!]]> 2017-03-27 16:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162869369 ladyss https://padlet.com/ladyss/9varuxr1u33n/wish/162870415 4.1 - Taking the initiative:

Yet they are still very young and are still learning that sometimes the result isn't exactly what they expected and that all students involved are somewhat responsible for the outcome.
