KP wish a warm-hearted Valentine and relaxed (holi)days!

We had the cup of nespresso in Linz, far away from school
and then we walked around Freinberg having a nice view over Linz and talking about Comenius - project, what else!

Ye know how to spend yer free time
I suppose ye shot many scenic pix to show them to our northern friends soon. What else

Hello all comenius members, this is Barbara the teacher who is very happy to go to Orissaare too! !! Let me know more about you in this forum. I have to amit not to be an expert of writing in a forum but I will try, ok? So if some massage might not be on the right place let me know that immediately please.
Thinking of migration I am observing every winter a kind of black birds (ravens I mean) on the fields around here and the people say they come from russia because it is too cold there at this time. I would like to know, if you can find them also in Prague or maybe in the summer in estonia?

In Prague when there's a cold in winter they're here too

Do ye do the massages?

O my God! English is not that easy! I meant message.....but infact i have also a certificate in health massages - you never know, if I loose my job as a teacher I could do this.
But what I really like is to do Yoga. Maybe in Orissaare we can practise it, we will see if somebody is interested.

yoga would be great, i think that many people would be interested

It's really cool, sometimes we do it in Italian^^ Please mrs mayrhofer, we must show them superlearning^^

Hi my best italian kids!!! But what should the others learn with superlearning? They might not be interested in italian grammer, aren' t they? But I will have a big "think" about how to show to our friends.
And for kadri and whoever we will do yoga, that' s already promised!
So by by allthogether!

Mrs Mayrhofer you and all the other teachers in who deal with this project can give eachother some advices how to create the lessons better

Hi Büsra

how to create the lessons better

I know what you mean - I try to do so for 25 years. It is very difficult, because every year (or 2 - 4 years) teachers get new students, so they have to explore what is the best for them at every time. Individuals! Every student has it´s own perception. That is why small groups of students are so much better!
It´s a struggle but an exciting one.
A tip for you as an individual: motivation is the key (you always have to look for the motivation to do something and if you ask yourself, why should I do that silly lesson, the answer is, that there is mostly nothing else to do).

Christian you are right: motivation is the magical word but before you are motivited you have to find the sense in doing something. Wy should you learn when you don' t know for what you are doing this? So I like to make the students having practice in real live as much as possible. For example I am always wondering how the kids are working (also in their free time) for the projekts. As I know they never have a motivation problem and enjoy so much working for it. Or if you go to a lake and let tham examine the water or whatever I am sure they love it, don't they?

Maybe the pupils have to have more responsibility?

Oh, it was a tip for matters without apparent sense for the students (philosophical).
Water examination is a good example for what I meant: Some of the students love it to quantify alkalinity and conductivity and others hate this part of the examination (too technical - mathematical bullshit). Almost everyone loves to look for animals in the water.
Or vice versa.

I understand mr. Winter :9
Your job is really hard...

Hello, all of you. Finally I"ve come round to join you, too.
I've had a really busy time and another one in front of me. And as you know, I'm no real computer freak!
But I'll try hard to get better.
I'm really looking forward do going to Estonia.
All the best to you all.
Anezka will teach me how to add a photo or a symbol!
Read you soon
Ursi

SOOOOO MUCH WORK! But at the moment I suppose everybody is very busy!
Easter holidays soon! Are there Easterholidays in Estonia, too?
By the way, are there any interesting traditions we could put on the homepage?\
I've heard that Czech boys beat gils with a willow whip to keep them juicy. Is that true. And that this year girls can beat boys because it is a lap year.
It would be nice to read more on the homepage.
All the best to you all and ...
holidazs soon.... and Estonia soon...
Ursi

hey hey, I need the help of the czech!!! In the easter holidays I'll come to Prague and my family likes going out. In which pub or restaurant should we go? Or would you like to go out with me (or us). Then you'll know Christian (my dad) and me a little bit sooner^^
Are there any irish pubs in Czech?

Hey Judith you can shoot some photos and tell us something about Czech later when you are back again.

Büsra it was so great there! You would like it too. We got there on Palm Sunday and I've never seen so much special things just for Palm Sunday but that was great! In the evening we went to the Rock Cafè and that evening there was a Metal concert :-)
Even my father liked it^^
No it was really fun but know I have got many koruny...I hope they'll get euros soon

:D:D:D
Sounds really great. I wanted to go to Prague too, but now after these informations I want to go tehre as soon as possible.
You're quite lucky because of the Metal concert
Do you have some pics from tehre?
