The Four Methods


We´ve been wondering about the different methods and teaching techniques. Here I found two short videos on the Silent Way.
I choose this method because I was very curious about the name! haha

The first video presents background information and theoretical concepts, goals and advantages of using it.
I hope you can find it useful as I did.


This second video is a class....interesting...I invite you to share your opinions about it! =)




              Interesting, isn´t it????

See you around,

Rain, Rain, Go Away...


I used to love rainy days.

Water means cleaning. Therefore, rain is to clean. To clean our spirit, our thoughts, our bodies and mind.

I used to believe in rainy days as a way of relaxing, as a very nice and ideal day to think, or to do nothing. I always found rainy days as the perfect days for sharing moments in family, like an excuse to gather all around a table and talk about everything we seem not to have enough time during the week, or the month, or maybe the year.

But suddenly, rainy days stopped being attractive to me anymore. One phone call tears everything apart, crushing down your hopes and dreams, believes and faiths.

Why is it that the weather affects our lives so much? Is there a logical scientific fact that may give prove of it?

Lately, we had lots of rainy days. 10 days in a row with water all around. Colours have changed, smells have changed, emotions have changed, I have changed. After several days I found myself in a totally different place. I realized…or got to the point…that rain is just that…rain. No matter how hard it can be…rain is just rain.

But, though now I have a new feeling about this huge amount of water falling from the sky, I´m still wondering how on earth I´m going to survive these days…and all relies on the simple fact that I´m at school…a school in which our little kiddoes are not used to be quiet, kids who need to run…kids who are accustomed to park life.

The only answer I have in mind is…take a deep breath, choose the best movie for the long break, and face the beautiful students I have with a super big smile.

Love,

Ps: I´ll just drop a video a love...special for Rainy Days  ;)
