Mu favorite way to learn is by doing! I do not want to listen to a lecture or watch a video of someone else performing it. I want to have my hands on the task, so that I may be fully engaged!

Children need to experience and hear concepts and terms over and over again. It takes repetition for a child to learn and understand fully. Teachers  must find ways to tie in different subjects and topics, so that the students are constantly reviewed!

 Interaction and Communication are important ways to increase understanding of content. Children need to communicate and interact with one another throughout the school day. This can be accomplished with group and or partner work. This allows the children to share ideas and thought with one another. This builds relationships among classmates as well, and the kids can learn from one another.  Communication and interaction are two important parts to a successful classroom! DONT forget about group and partner work!

Hands-on activities are  crucial to not only children but even adults when it comes to learning and understanding a concept. You must interact and practice the topic at hand in order to learn it. Hands-on activities should be enjoyable and educational to all!
