My students learn best through hands on learning! They use magnetic letters, letter stamps, letter tiles, letter connecting cubes, and letters written on pool noodles and legos to build words and learn to spell their names. They use play dough, Wikki Stix, paint, chalk and chalk boards to learn the letter formations. They use tweezers, beads, lacing mats, and hole punches to help in developing their fine motor skills! They Use crayons, scissors, glue, and markers as they create projects around topics we are studying, practice skills they have learned, write and illustrate stories, and draw and write to retell texts they have read or had read to them. They use connecting cubes, dice, links, game boards, polydrons, pattern blocks, white boards, and dry erase supplies and they experience hands on math learning. I have pourd hours and money into getting my students as many tools for hands on learning as possible. This not only makes learning fun, but helps them learn the material quicker and retain it! What we don’t have, is places to keep these materials that allow students easy access and keep our room calm and organized for students! These storage and teaching items will help the classroom run more efficiently, allow students to get what they need quickly, model organization, provide opportunities for whole group interactive learning, and help to provide a more calming and less cluttered atmosphere that offers maximum time for learning!
