Ya know, classroom aren´t all that different around the world. Brian and I gave a class on self-esteem to some third graders in our barrio. They had never heard of it, so we first did a play about the issue and then modeled a ¨self portriat¨. In the drawing, the kids were supposed to draw a picture of themselves including all of the things that they feel they are good at/like to do. I´m not so sure I want to translate this kiddo´s drawing, but the same would always happen in my classroom in the states too. Except that we´d have to turn the drawing into the school counselor. Albeit, the sweetie was quite proud, and I´m sure that was good for his self-esteem!!Tuesday, November 20, 2007
Sweet, sweet classroom memories
