We had an interesting discussion today about what is motivating to each of us. We asked the question, "what motivates you in school?" The list above is what we brainstormed. We also talked about extrinsic and intrinsic motivation - a very interesting and thoughtful discussion. If you get a chance, ask your child about our discussion.
thanks! the time with Felice was really great, too. I like the list, (not too crazy about the "someone telling you what to do" though, ouch!) and my favorite is "a feeling of accomplishment". did anyone say, "My dreams! My destiny!" Just wondering...thank you for keeping us updated on the class. visiting the room today was so peaceful and inspiring. I wish 211 was forever in a lot of ways. everyone in the room is blessed to have this as a part of their life path. Thank you Shawna & Tammy-you're the best!
