Learning involves more than paper and pencil. Children learn through manipulation of hands on activities. We will use the Melissa and Doug floor puzzles to use our spatial awareness to place the pieces together. Being able to manipulate a puzzle piece by rotating and translating the shape to fit another increases their understanding in math. The Magnetic Building Sticks will be used to make various shapes to construct models of buildings and landscapes students are familiar with, as well as test out a hypotheses in a science experiment. The Kindergarten Core Standards (Standard K.G.5 Model and create shapes/ Standard K.G.6 Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes) set the expectation that children can analyze, compare, and create various shapes and structures using existing shapes. In science they are given a task to construct a bridge with various blocks to allow a "boat" to float under it. These types of activities will engage students in mathematical and scientific processes that will encourage critical thinking and problem solving which they will encounter throughout their lives inside and outside of school. The availability of various building materials in my classroom will allow these young children the opportunity to explore and manipulative objects using critical thinking skills that will enhance their learning skills in later grades. I want to provide learning opportunities that encourage and excite students to seek out STEM related activities as well as develop a high appreciation and interest in the fields of science and math.
