Hi, my name is Lee, and I am a school teacher.
As I was reading Belinda's post, I thought I would add my 2 cents worth...
Right now I'm teaching 5th grade. I have taught string figures to my classes
for years 2nd thru 8th grades. One of the rules I have incorporated in my
teaching is that when they learn a new figure it is our tradition to teach
that same figure to at least 5 other people. It reinforces their learning as
well as spreads the new figure quickly throughout the school. My class also
organizes lessons to teach other classes about string figures. They also do
the scheduling, etc. It works really well. I have been lurking here for a
while, and hope to join IFSA soon.
Thanks for all the neat stuff I have been reading! Lee Gardner
