Their interest and engagement inspires me to offer experiences which extend their learning. Less fortunate that the pay and conditions in early years are appalling but you can't have everything...Amanda Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618605752588003343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411251843062389951.post-36064892899047286632012-09-26T09:53:12.004+01:002012-09-26T09:53:12.004+01:00interesting thoughts - classroom teachers rarely g...interesting thoughts - classroom teachers rarely get time to evaluate why they do things but in my role it is something I have to do often - plus then explain to others why I have chosen this approach. It does eventually change the way you teach but I think leadership from the top can speed that up. I taught in USA many years ago and in my school "why" was asked all the time and it really did change my teaching philospohySue Hallidayhttp://www.science2u.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411251843062389951.post-81410731350910615372012-07-23T20:09:58.235+01:002012-07-23T20:09:58.235+01:00Great post!

Children who meet failure in a positive and supportive environment are perhaps more likely to learn how to grow and be resilient from a younger age. It will give them an inner strength that will help them cope with life's challenges!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411251843062389951.post-76586299255315270292012-03-12T12:44:37.515+00:002012-03-12T12:44:37.515+00:00Lovely eulogy to a horse.Lovely eulogy to a horse.Lisahttp://lisawieldswords.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411251843062389951.post-88876079635323740212012-03-11T18:05:26.859+00:002012-03-11T18:05:26.859+00:00Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11927140805025117190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411251843062389951.post-77611607252245601222012-03-09T17:27:03.630+00:002012-03-09T17:27:03.630+00:00What a great tribute and take on the prompt.What a great tribute and take on the prompt.Susan Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445232725431784781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411251843062389951.post-31747396339172492292012-03-08T18:20:33.406+00:002012-03-08T18:20:33.406+00:00Oh my, Red Rum, that is going back some time!

You can cut out more excess words to fit in as much story as possible. One suggestion: "Tell the monks to ring that bell hard" buys you 9 words to work with with. You could give us other more important, more colorful details. <br /><br />It would be great practice to see if you can get way more into these 100 words.
