"If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn!" - Ignacio Estrada
I teach 3rd through 5th grade and they would love to be have alternative seating and different breaks to help build behavior and social skills!
We can encourage them to grow in different ways that are successful for each child who is different!
My Project
I chose the ball chairs and the wobble seats to encourage my students to be comfortable as they are learning to help keep them engaged and excited every day to pick a new chair! The chairs will help them keep focus as well as an incentive for good behavior, I picked the magnets and sand to encourage them to use those fine motor skills while taking a quick break while still stimulating their little engineering minds!
Let us invent tomorrow with the use of Kindles!
Technology is not replacing teachers... it is only increasing our tool belt of methods to help our children learn while engaging them in related activities on the kindle! I chose the Fire Tablets because they are a great resource to the classroom. Every child in different and will retain learning by different methods! All of these items will be a great start to our NEW classroom!
