Superhero Powers in Teaching

I believe other than a child's parent or guardian a teacher is one of the most significant role models in a child's life. Children look up to their teachers for guidance and support. They come to us when they have a problem with another child or even at home. When young children are first learning to read they see us as superheros with exceptional reading powers. By giving a child who is first learning to read a special wand or a magical cape all of the sudden he feels like he has the same superhero powers that you do as a teacher and his confidence for reading skyrockets! Use your superhero powers as a teacher to help your students succeed!!! I love teaching for all these reasons.

After introducing my students to the concept of the penny, nickel, and dime my class loved "purchasing" toys at our classroom store. Since our class was small each child presented their toy to the class. Then the class shared how they would pay with their change. The students learned how change can be made in multiple ways! It was very interactive and most of all fun for all the students!!!
