Teachable Moments

My blog post is simply another teacher's blog post from our G/T Thirty Hour Blog.

Here it is:

" I like the universal concept. I took the example from the last meeting and used patterns as my concept. I began by using the concept patterns in the weather, since this is the time with the change of seasons. A student found a wooden stick that was weathered. It made patterns in the ridges. The whole class was excited to see how the weather left a mark on the stick. It was awesome! A great teachable moment."

This blog post made me reflect on those precious teachable moments we have all encountered. I would love to hear YOUR teachable moments! Do share!
