I believe that children learn best through hands on activity. Children must be engaged to the fullest extent to gain knowledge and cultivate learning. These 2 well-known quotes really speak to my teaching philosophy.
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn" - Benjamin Franklin
"The learning is in the doing" - Hawaiian Proverb
It is the teacher's responsibility to engage children in everyday experiences, meeting the children at their level of learning. If these factors are considered in the planning process, learning is sure to occur.
