Being creative in the schools...

I have been observing a 2nd grade classroom for the past month and I have learned so much from the teacher. She makes learning fun for the students and is always so excited to teach. The last class I went to observe the students were getting ready for the "writing cafe". They had written poems in class and the following day they were to wear all black. The students were going to act out their poems for the class and pretend as if they were a cafe. The students were so excited and I even got a preshow. Everyone was having so much fun, and to think that these students were doing it while learning. I will use a lot of her techniques in my own classroom. Creativity is a key to a successful classroom!
