The flash of lightning outside
I called them to my side
Have you ever wondered how
They were all now fascinated
I told them a little of what I had read
instead”
And moved on to the next subject of interest
A little something behind this poem: it has been raining around here constantly, and in the past couple of den meetings we have had of my son’s cub scout den, the boys have been fidgety and impatient, after having been cooped inside a room all day. I did not teach them this exact subject matter then but we did teach them other things like different types of bridges, air pressure, how the continents formed, and more. This would, though, be something I could teach in a future rainy day meeting, when the rain keeps raining.
The video link above (also here) is fascinating and the article there gives us a look into the wonders of nature – of how the tiny mosquito flies in the rain.
That's amazing that you took a boring, rainy day and turned it into a teachable moment!
thank you Rachel… the boys do love to learn so much – and that definitely makes teaching a lot more fun..
nice…good on you for opening their eyes to the fascinating things in our world and taking a rainy day and making it meaningful….
thank you Brian.. teaching them provides me an awesome opportunity to learn as well… so much i dont know still
ah, a teacher's challenges
🙂
sometimes you can learn the most on a rainy yucky day.
yes, that is true..
Dr Emilio Lizardo has the right attitude to the test subjects:)
You could have taught them to play poker:)

🙂 i am sure they will enjoy that as well but not too sure about the parents.. and plus, i will have to learn to play first..
Well done, and — well done!
You made lemonade out of rainwater.
I was the Webelos leader for 4 years when my son was in Cubs – more than 30 years ago, now. it was always a challenge to keep things [more or less] in line.
Cheers!
