Professionally the most successful experiences to me are those teaching and learning situations where the whole group is working enthusiastically and the spirit is good. I can also feel the flow with small pupils and that flow strengthens also the teacher in an amazing way!
I work as a Finnish school teacher and I have ten eager [...]

This autumn we made a trip with group of children to the farm which is nearby to our kindergarten. There is a café on that farm, they set up riding courses there and all kinds of different events. We prepaired the trip in advance with the kids, discussed what animals we will see there and [...]

In our school are more than before parents, who are very helpless and completely off their children´s everyday life. A child comes to school dressed up in a white mohair dress and she must to be so careful with the dress that she can´t play or do almost anything. Parents expect to get information in [...]

A memory from my childhood: every time I pass a snack bar I remember when my dad used to take me to the movies to watch Goofy and Uuno Turhapuro (a Finnish comedy character) on Sunday afternoons.

 I still remember vividly when I first started as a young nanny in the kindergarten. How I enjoyed being and playing with children, and how quickly the children got used to me and came confidently close to me and to my lap. Childrens`s emotional reactions were so clearly seen that it was a little bit [...]

 Recently I have been thinking a lot how important it is that the co-operation with parents goes well. Extreme-parents are emphasized/highlighted in my current job, even though there are not so many of them. With extreme-parents I mean parents who don´t care how their children´s day has gone, or on the other hand those parents [...]

I guess this could have happened to anyone but, one year, explaining the unity in Christmas, I asked who were the Three Kings and a girl told me that they were Juan Carlos, Queen Sofia and Leticia. Because they are kings. I told them I was referring to those from the East, the Three Wise [...]

Children are very indiscreet. This is a story a mother told me. She says that her daughter is starting to be a "bigmouth." The other day they were in the elevator with a neighbor they don’t like or something like that. They were waiting to go up the three of them and the girl said [...]
