My Project

Studies have shown that kinesthetic learning is the most successful way of learning with students. Kinesthetic learning is where a student carries out physical activities rather than listening to a lecture. Doing so helps them gain a superior understanding of the material.

Hands-on (or kinesthetic) learning is where a student participates or carries out physical activities relating to subject material rather than listening to a lecture.

Students learn by doing: engaging with the subject material to solve a problem or create something. Hands-on learning is a participatory form of education.

Students will use the clay to make models of ancient cities in the unit culmination activity. They will use the giant world map to learn geography. For example, the establishment of the colonies. Students will use the phonics games to learn how to read. We explicitly teach them phonics in a fun way with games to enhance the learning experience.
