Last day of Holidays.

I enjoyed today by myself (the kids were at a friend's place). I used the Day spa voucher I got for my birthday - very indulgent - and spent nearly an hour in the book shop! I think it makes me a better Mum and a better teacher to have some time alone, doing things for me. I bought an interesting book called "Thinking for Themselves" about developing strategies for reflective learning. The strategies Wilson and Jan suggest include concept mapping, questioning and self-questioning, negotiated learning, self-assessment and learning logs. It didn't mention learning blogs, but I think they are worth a try.
