Teaching or learning, which came first?

I am grateful for technology, not just for the fun it brings to my life, but for allowing me to focus on learning and teaching.

Most of my ramblings here have been about next year, when I am barely half way through this year. So I have taken time to refocus my energy into the children in my Prep class. I have learnt a lot from them. In particular, how capable kids can be when you allow them, also that trust can go a long way. One more thing, children sometimes/often need structure and routine to get things done, (from my experience this year, they relish the opportunities).

So I am focusing on pedagogy and learning, how I can best meet the childrens needs in my class, then, if I have time, I will start working towards next year.
