This book helps move teachers from a &#8220;limiting&#8221; teaching style to a &#8220;laughing&#8221; style that inspires creativity and helps students learn faster and better. Cowritten by a former educator and the founder of a comedy improvisation company, The Laughing Classroom helps teachers &#8212; and parents &#8212; make learning fun while instilling self-esteem, solid work habits, and the joy of learning in children. Suggested activities involve silly songs, special dress days, vocabulary-building, observation, communication, social skills, and self-expression. The book gives teachers 50 ways to say &#8220;you did OK,&#8221; 15 play breaks, and humorous homework assignments to make the task fun. This edition includes a new introduction by the authors and a foreword by veteran comedian Steve Allen.</div> 1719967 16 8 2002 The Laughing Classroom: Everyone's Guide to Teaching with Humor and Play (Loomans, Diane) total:17|5:4|4:7|3:2|2:4|1:0| 17 62 32 1 2 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Aug 17 19:28:37 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 17 19:30:19 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Nov 17 19:22:48 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 19:22:48 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 09 19:20:07 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 19:20:18 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Nov 07 17:06:12 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 17:06:12 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Sep 23 16:00:43 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 16:00:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 11 16:47:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 16:47:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 10 07:12:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 07:12:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 08 07:44:01 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 07:44:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 31 11:36:34 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 11:36:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 12 15:40:22 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 15:40:22 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jul 01 16:46:49 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 16:46:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 30 17:04:35 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 17:04:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 19 13:42:43 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 13:42:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 08 18:38:07 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 18:38:07 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Apr 25 11:03:02 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 19:39:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 21 06:53:51 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 06:53:51 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jan 08 22:06:41 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 22:06:41 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Dec 25 07:56:55 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 25 07:56:55 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sun Dec 07 05:03:59 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 05:03:59 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Dec 01 19:33:56 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 19:33:56 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1722579
