All children learn differently and absorb knowledge in different ways, not everyone is the same. We all retain knowledge in different ways which is why when we go to higher education courses we are more in charge of how we can take notes of what we learn so it works for our individual needs. If you experience bad behavior which may just simply be frustration from the children struggling to follow the lessons. It is important to improve the way you work and help the way they work. There are lots of different learning styles from visual learners who can take things in better when being shown and observing things. As well as physical learners who learn much better by being hands-on and learning through the sense of touch.
Get Outside More
When teaching about things like bugs, insects, and whether it is a good idea to get the students out and about and get them stuck into things. You can do things like a scavenger hunt where they need to find certain things or bugs then when everyone has finished you can all sit down and talk through what was found, some facts about them, and make it fun and engaging. Getting outside in nature is also a great way to help reduce anxiety and stress so can help in that sense for the children as well.
Do Group Activities For Learning Styles
A great thing to help children learn is by doing group and team-building activities so it also helps them develop their confidence and social skills too. Some students are great at this as it is one of the benefits from attending infant daycare as they are used to being around other children and working and playing together in different ways. Just like they may be better with social skills if they have older siblings.
By offering different group activities for different subjects it can help by putting the children in groups of their learning styles so they can easily bounce ideas off each other and be able to work together well to achieve the task set. You can also look to mix things up by mixing the learning styles and see how the children adapt to taking things on in different ways while still being there to support them and help them progress and widen how they take in information. It is something you can adapt to your teaching style and see what works best for you and your students.
Get All The Arts And Crafts Ready
Arts and crafts are something all children love doing and really help them show who they are through expression. Arts and crafts can easily be incorporated into different subjects which helps children look at things differently. You can easily incorporate a math lesson into art by doing a mosaic type activity which can teach them all about shapes and angles where they can then recognize them easily through this method first whilst also enjoying it a lot more too.
