Magic and Sparkles
Everything is better when magic and sparkles are included!
And I mean that is true for both in the classroom and outside in the real world.
It’s not just found at Disney World or Disneyland.
To hook students and to also encourage them to keep trying when they were struggling or stuck on a concept or problem or content to learn, I break out my Disney Magic Hat and magic wand and wave it in the air above the student.
I tell them that I am creating happy “Disney Magic” to help them get over any obstacles or hurdles that they are experiencing.
Do you remember as a kid how magical the effects of sparklers are during the Fourth of July or when they are placed upon a birthday cake like they do in other countries.
It creates awe and inspiration and celebration and hope in our hearts.
It is magical.
I don’t allow glitter, which does indeed sparkle, in the classroom because it is too hard to clean up.
So, how do I create “magic sparkles” in the classroom for my students as well as outside the classroom for myself?
