I thought you'd like this analogy :-) It's funny how different one group can be from another, isn't it, Steven? I guess we all approach our learning in different ways, but like you say, as soon as we consciously embrace the kaleidoscope with all the wonders that it holds, life does become a lot more exciting, more colourful. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! Thank you, Karen. I thought you’d like this analogy :-)

I've only recently started teaching and, while one of my tutorial groups have really embraced the insights and ideas of others, the other group have shown a little more reluctance. I think it's because the other group is alot quieter and more introverted, preferring to reflect upon new and unfamiliar ideas before they embrace them, a bit like me really. I think for many people the 'kaleidoscope' is acquired rather than innate, but once it is embraced, life and living become so exciting. I still don't quite have the confidence to do the tasks you put on your blogs, but one day I will! As ever, thank you. All best wishes to you and yours.

I love the kaleidoscope analogy. We all view things through our own lens but if we seek to make tiny adjustments we allow new experiences, insights and perspectives. I also love that the kaleidoscope is filled with many colorful images that are all shifting and changing as you adjust your lens. This is very much like life itself. Thanks you Amy.

Like I said in the post, I've been considering it for a while before I began to type it up. I'm glad you enjoyed what I finally came up with :-) Oh, I'll make sure I follow that up, Mrschili! Thank you so much for leaving the link. Those are extremely important principles to pass on to your children, Penelope Anne. Well done for prioritising them! Thanks Saintseester! It's looking great :-) Oh, Rosa, I would love to have you along to one of my classes! They're always a lot of fun, and I'm sure I get just as much from every class as my students do. Thank you for spreading the word about the post too. I love that you recognise Aloha in my teaching! Thank you, Joanna.

You have also given me an intense craving to sit in one of your classes. You would find me to be a very eager student! If every teacher could convey a love of reading - what you say you do with "texts" I do believe that our world would be a very different place, and all for the better. I am going to be sharing your posting with all the teachers I know, for you have described what "Teaching with Aloha" can be. Amy this is such a wonderful metaphor.

My passion for my kids, aka my students...that they learn tolerance, acceptance, and do unto others as they would have others do unto them.
