so coooooooooooooooooooooooool!!

I should do it with my students... though, as they are "grown-ups", I dunno how many of them would actually join the fun and how many would say: that is childish....

Hmmm... Maybe I can convince my Mom to do that for me!

Wish I had teachers like that!!! Creative and willing to help, stimulate a child's interest and give proper guidance..

I wish I'd known more about Playmobil when I was teaching, I can think of loads of ways in which I could have used it in the classroom with my 7 - 8 year olds.

PROGRAM INFORMATION
Playmobil has developed a program to award teachers for their creativity in the classroom. The program demonstrates Playmobil’s commitment to children’s creativity – both in the classroom and at home – through an appreciation of the teachers who show them that creativity daily.
Teachers are asked to develop a lesson plan using Playmobil toys and can visit www.playmobilusa.com for a complete listing of all Playmobil themes. The lesson plan should display how the toys would be incorporated into a lesson plan on nurturing a child’s imagination.

Unfortunately for me, I went to the “special” school- The one where all the teachers had handcuffs in their drawers, and an unwritten prerequisite for employment was prior law enforcement, corrections, or militry service.
Still I’ll pass this around to my son’s school (nothing like my schools were) and see if anyone’s interested.

(I know an advertising gimmick when I see one- That doesn’t mean I disapprove .)
