Bring some of the past to the future

Ben Franklin back from the dead!!!!

What a special treat for the class when Ben franklin decided to walk in the door. This was a very funny experience and one that gave me a lot of ideas for my own classroom. To me this experience was to show the class of future teachers how we can be creative and imaginative in our own classrooms. Children are not abstract thinkers quite yet, they need concrete things to work with. Bringing in concrete, fun, and exciting things like a real life historical figure into the class can only inspire students to learn and gain knowledge. They can learn so much by asking questions, engaging in coversation, and just seeing the costumes that these figures wore. 

Make the classroom a fun and exciting place to learn and students will gain the knowledge they need for the future! 

"If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing."

This quote has a lot of meaning to me as an educator, first I want all of my students to know they can be anything they dream of. Not to let anything stand in their way and I as an educator must inspire them to do so.
