Constructive Kinder

Welcome to Constructive Kinder by Loorducation
Picture Constructive Kinder is focused on a hands on learning approach in Kindergarten. Constructivism is a perspective in the field of education that is based upon experimental learning.Children learn by playing and exploring, therefore they need to be in a learning environment that promotes play, movement and hands on learning. Following a curriculum that is based on constructivism allows children to explore, discover and be active participants in the learning process.

Play is fun but it is also a child's work, it is what they do- PLAY. When children play, they learn early math and language and develop skills for academic success.When a child is playing with blocks, he or she is counting, predicting, calculating and measuring, all which are skills required for mathematics. When a child is playing house, he or she is developing social emotional skills that help them build their character.

Children are not meant to be sitting at a desk for long periods of time. Doing so causes boredom and day dreaming. Children have the need to be active.Being active promotes learning. By having a curriculum that is constructive based, children will be able to learn by being hands on with tools. Children will learn by exploring their classroom. They will also learn by doing. Children will learn by tinkering and getting messy using play dough, paints, flubber, moon sand and other  sensory items.All the while children are actually learning how to count, write, spell, listen and learn. Yes, learn. Children who are active inside the classroom are learning how to solve problems and be creative, which are two qualities that are needed to be successful individuals.

Lesson...

OK so yesterday it was raining super hard and it was really foggy and my wipers were not working well and my windows were all fogged up and I hit a curb, drove up on an esplanade and dented my rim a bit and of course flattened my tire. He saw me, my mom and my son sitting in the car and said that he will change my tire and put the emergency one on. He saw everything so he waited to see as I pulled over. He was just coming from a restaurant across the street and he had a huge bag of food, so I know he was going to eat, most likely with his co workers. He was a technician for Optimum. He did not care that it was pouring and cold. He got soaked and he took about 30 minutes or so to change my tire because the lug nuts were super tight. Anyway, I kept thanking him and told him God sent him to me at the exact time.He would not accept money I had offered him or anything. He just told me that he had to help me. This is what the world needs more of. It is all about Karma. I promised God that I would pay it forward and more. thank you Nelson!!! And, today I got a new Michelin tire and it is all good even though I had to go to Costco, Firestone, Town Fair Tire before a place on Boston Ave. that gave me a good deal and changed my tire within 10 minutes. It was painstaking driving with a doughnut tire all the way from Bridgeport to Orange and Milford back to Bridgeport..yup but it is all good cause God has our backs!!! The moral of my story is that there should be only 2 speeds in life- giving BACK and paying it FORWARD.
