The following broadcast has been written by HI Human Intuition
"I have often dreamed of a far off place,
where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me,
where the crowds would cheer, when they see my face,
and a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be!
Yes our place is educating the future of tomorrow." Alan Menken / David Zippel
And on that motivational note -
Welcome to the new school year.
We would like to wish you a happy and educational year with your students and we will be here by your side providing you with ideas, links to digital tools, songs, chants and much more to enhance your lessons and make your English lessons even more of a learning experience for your classes.

“And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't loose hope, 'till I go the distance
And my journey is complete, oh yeah” Alan Menken / David Zippel
Make it a good year and a year that counts.
Icebreakers for your first week. These ideas can be adapted for any age
There are many more on the internet.
Who did not relax in the summer? While we teachers were charging our batteries, someone/ something was not sleeping. That is the AI revolution. I am receiving daily suggestions for tools and ideas that should make my teaching easier. I will try to share some of the programs that are life changing.
For a start - Go into Chat GPT and / Bard and look for Icebreakers for your first week. I am sure you will find many ideas there.
“So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
I see your true colors
Shining through (true colors)
I see your true colors” Cyndi Lauper
Let’s believe in our students and see them for who they are and what they can become.
“A hundred children, a hundred individuals who are people – not people-to-be, not people of tomorrow, but people now, right now – today.”
