My goal is to foster self-learning and discovery through play. First of all, I want my students to have a choice of projects or activities they will like to do. While they are working with hands-on activities they can have conversations with their peers or teacher about what they are doing and how they are trying to do it. It helps engage students in meaningful conversations with the use of vocabulary words. Students learn best when they discover for themselves what works and what does not work, and how it can be made better. This will help students in reading, math, science, and writing. Students learn best by discovery not by listening to a teacher talk all day.
