Jovial? Really?

Jovial? Really? Yes, jovial! Learning is fun whether you are a student or a teacher and both parties should be learning every day. To my way of thinking,sparking students' minds for thinking and learning is a much more worthwhile endeavor than attempting to fill brains with facts and knowledge that might or might not make learning connections. Therefore,learning and thinking and creating and puzzling and solving in a jovial manner is the way to go! I want to be constantly on the lookout for a better way for individual students to understand, know, do, create, think, and succeed!
