Pavlov used a bell. He rang the bell, and then gave the dogs food. After repeating this several times, dogs started to salivate at the sound of bell. Even when no food is presented. Dogs learned to associate the bell with the food, leading to salvation. We call it classical conditioning. I use this experiment everyday in my classroom. Mainly for building routines. At the beginning of the lesson I say "Who's ready to learn?" by showing Class Dojo points on the board. Students who's their books/notebooks open receive a point. I repeat this. After sometime, students learn to associate the "Who's ready to learn?" voice with the Dojo points. So. How do you build your routines in your classroom?

Which skill will this child get doing this? Do you think this child could learn more than one skill from performing the activity? Who taught you how to skip? Now, creating that enabling environment for children to explore and gather experiences is what teachers need most.

How do you model curiosity to your students? What do you notice about their learning when you do? Share in the chat below 👇👇👇 (also, please let me know where the caterpillars have gone!)

Kids are excited to discover who their new classroom teacher is and which of their friends are in the same classroom. Even the students who are not fond of school are intrigued by the newness of the first few weeks back in class.    But if you are not careful, the first month back to school could have your kid digging a hole they have a tough time getting out of. It is best to practice setting routines so the rest of the year runs smoothly.    Here are a few critical tips on how students can hit the ground running once the school year begins - https://lnkd.in/gBj2amiH

Educators, how do you intentionally create a classroom that fills up students’ buckets? Share below! 💛 Lili

The moment I suggest teaching problem-solving in schools, there are a lot of dogmas surrounding this subject. Some colleges teach problem-solving peripherally, while others treat it as a task. In some colleges, they emphasize that problem-solving is a crucial skill that everyone should learn, but they often frame it more as a moral issue rather than a skill.
