Blog Entry #2 Assignment

The teacher at my service learning placement is amazing.  She has all sorts of bins full of tools to help her students learn.  She is definitely a constructivism theory type of teacher.  For example, on Thursday she had me help a student learn his letters.  She had plastic uppercase and lowercase letters.  She had me help the student find the matches, upper and lower.  Then, she had me help the student trace the letters with his finger.  I thought the student would lose interest, but he didn't.

All of the instruction started with me explaining it, and then she would have them do something more visual.  Between the two instructions the students seem to understand.
