Salt dough

Usually in England they make a kind of plasticine to help children to develop their pshisical skills.

Ingredients:

- 4 cups of flour
- 1/2 cup ofsalt
- 2 cups of water
- colour painting

This kind of douth is much better than normal plasticine because texture is more elastic.

How can I improve listening in students?

When I think about listening, we usually think on CD reproducing a conversation for official exams.

But that idea is very far from the reality, children need to improve their listening for the foreign and the 1^st language more than other competencies because they can´t write yet. There are many exercises to improve it.

For example, we can put different color hoops on the floor. Kids have to run and when they listen a number and a color, they have to do groups that number of people and stand up inside the correct color hoop.

If they are wrong, they would be out of the game.

The worst teacher I ever had

The worst teacher I ever had was an old woman.

I was in her class when I was 7 years-old but I still remember how was her face when she looked at us.

Her attitude was depressive and I can´t remember to have ever seen a smile in her face.

Many years have passed, so I don´t remember exactly how was she teaching. But I remember how afraid I was about her when she shouted.

I got not the confidence to told her my concerns.

In a few years I don´t want to be like her. I want my pupils feel safes and confidents.

Furthermore, she told bad things to my parents. I think that a teacher has to encourage pupils and parents on good aspects.
