Thoughts of the Day

It is important that children develop a sense of wonder and enlightenment and with that they can create within themselves a true love for learning. Learning should never be forced,only encouraged. We all learn in different ways and when the time is right for us. Children are unique and as I always say education should not be  a one size fits all approach. Education should be fun, engaging and differentiated. Education should fit the needs of the learner at that exact time when the teacher is educating them. At the same time, we as educators are learning so much from children. They can truly open our hearts and minds and guide us to view the world through magnificent eyes.

Fall Into Learning...

Learning happens everywhere. The best classrooms are the ones without any walls.
Optimal learning requires the use of the whole body and all of our senses. Learning is an interactive, hands on experience. Children learn by doing. Children learn by pretending, acting, exploring, engaging...If children do not learn the way we teach them then we must teach them in a way that they are going to learn.
Loorducation - Making. Learning. Fun.

Constructive Learning

Posted on September 21, 2014

Things have been going great at Loorducation. We have been very active. This past week we made many different sensory bags. We also used kinetic sand and cornstarch mixed with water for great sensory fun. These experiences went very well. After all the hand son activities, Jorge Juan wanted to play school. Without being prompted, he started to write spelling words and continued to write and draw. This was excellent. The sensory activities calmed him down and worked up his fine motor skills to prepare his hands for writing – willingly. I loved it, we went with it. We played school. He was the teacher. He even had to put his glasses on. He gave me a spelling test and corrected it with a star and happy face. He was so excited. This was great. He was really into it. He loves school and loves to learn. I am very blessed. His writing skills are coming along well. By giving him options and well needed breaks in between homework from the school week, he feels more secure and less pressured. Thus, causing him to be engaged and engrossed in spontaneous learning activities. Which, in turn, will gear him up and ready him for the next week of school academics. When children feel well, they will learn well. That is the bottom line. The well being comes first.
