Dr. Tate was a phenomenal speaker! The workshop was very informative and entertaining. Even though I knew some of the material, it did not bore me or put me to sleep. I could not wait to greet my students at the door the following morning! During my many years of teaching, I often play music in the classroom. One morning my principal joined the class as we danced the morning shuffle by jazz group, "Hiroshima - Our Wish".
Some of my favorite personal notes:
- As your body gets number, your brain gets dumber. My students love moving!
- Your brain weighs three pounds and has a consistency like tofu and jello. YUCK!
- Keep the kids moving. Strong muscle memory. My students love chants and cheers!
- Sleep 7-9 hours a night. I am lucky if I get to bed before 11:00 PM, and I get up at 5:00 each morning!
- When you think positive, you attract positive. When you think negative, you attract negative. A daily reminder for my students!
I would strongly recommend a workshop with Dr. Tate. She introduced many strategies that I will continue to utilize in the classroom. At the end of the day I probably grew a few new dendrites, too!
