Sometimes teachers wonder why their students dread class; educators put so much effort and thought into daily lessons, and it just seems unfair that our students are not as enthusiastic as we are. I've come to the conclusion that students don't really dread the lessons--it's the fact that they seem to be the same day after day (another worksheet??). It's hard to keep from getting into a "rut" especially when there are few resources available. My 4th graders willingly work and do their best when we work in our science textbook, but they really come to life when we do an exciting hands-on activity. Especially if it's kind of "yucky!"
