To ensure all the students are ready to learn, I would get to know them as individuals and listen to what the are saying.This is because in listening one can find out where they are at,what works for them and what they love doing.In the process of listening, if I find out they don't have a sense of belonging then I would create an activity that would involve everyone in the classroom showing respect and responding to each others ideas with the intention of hopefully creating an awareness that each one is of value. In real sense our classroom should always be a place where the exchange of ideas occur amicably and with respect.
My objective is to create an environment,where children are children and as Kunc's comments "where children are given a right to belong and a right to their own diversity". A place where learning is a joy not a chore. At the language centre the students especially enjoyed 'hands on' stuff, the picture shows an activity that involved making hats,betting on horses and later strutting the students creation, with a prize won at the end of the day.
