M is for Magic

During this holiday season, I thought it would be fun to use the word Christmas and apply it to education.

Today’s letter is M and M stands for Magic.

Teaching is magic.

It is magical when:

·      I see the face of a student who realizes they are capable of doing something new.

·      I see the student’s face when he realizes he passed a test.

·      I see students who understand that sometimes they have to fight hard to get past obstacles but it is worth the fight.

·      I see students who aren’t willing to give up.

·      I see the students engaged in an exciting lesson.

·      I see students helping each other when they are having difficulties.

·      I see students collaborating on a lesson together.

·      I see students creating something new with their new knowledge.

·      I  see students eager to learn more.

·      I see students asking questions.

·      I see students sharing their knowledge with their parents.

·      I see students feeling proud of their accomplishments.

·      I see students who are happy to be in my classroom.

What visions of magic do you see in your classroom? Please share.
