Welcome folks! Usually, we expect an introduction by a person giving a brief idea about how one exactly is, even though it might just be the opposite. Duh! Why always do something that is meant to be or we supposed to? Why not do something we should and feel?! (No! Not at all rebellious!) Though I clearly remember barely following rules as a child. Yeah! You got me there! Honestly! You can say, I am a perfectly average human, with a decent job and a not so extra-ordinary adventurous life. All in all just a girl next door! Who can play well, both being sassy and monotonous when needed. I am a bong by birth and have spent substantial twenty- one years of my life in Uttar-Pradesh and currently in Pune. There is a celebrated French proverb - “PETIT A PETIT, L’OISEAU FAIT SON NID.” which means - Little by little the bird makes its nest. I happen to stick to it. This proverb designates patience and perseverance, which I believe is limited and difficult to keep up within today’s world.
40 Best Visual Thinking Routines for Life Long Learning for Kids
Visible Thinking Routine started as an attempt to create a research-based approach to teach and learn. Visible Thinking teaches students how to make their thoughts visible and public. This is achieved by a number of graphic organizers that help to organize ideas and thinking. They are easy to use, but effective in their effects. One of the benefits for teachers in using visible thinking routines, is being able to see learning through the eyes of students.
