Especially those with the great desire to learn. Some prefer a full set of directives and others just manage on their own. They build models or breath-taking sculptures with Legos and connective toys and label these works of art using realistic names of buildings and projects. More in depth, many have a great desire to learn new information and utilize creative expression to show how they think and reason.
Over the years, I try to perfect my methods of communication while identifying the interest level of every child, especially when they are not receptive to a traditional way of learning new information. Over the years, I developed a love for media through which I could reach out and hopefully touch the lives of children. Most successful, has been the use of creativity combined with a little humor which always makes learning more enjoyable and holds any child's attention for an extended length of time.
On a more personal level, photography became a direct connection to my young audience. The use of photographs of the outdoors helped begin the process. Photographs of clouds became an art form. I began pairing photographs with self-generated poems to assist in the delivery of my project. South Florida has been my home for over a quarter century and has provided a great sample of weather conditions and outdoor scenes good enough to photograph. It added a new dimension to daily routines.view less
