Dear Parents,
As the year goes by, you may notice that our classroom is not like others. We use a completely different approach. We will be learning through Whole Brain Teaching, a research based system that utilizes all areas of the brain and keeps children engaged throughout the lessons. In addition, it helps them to retain much more information than the standard lecture-discussion model.
Whole Brain Teaching is fun, energetic and powerfully engages all of the students in the lesson. After the explanation given by the teacher, kids teach what they have just learned to their partners, using hand-gestures to help remember specific vocabulary. While students teach each other, the teacher walks around the room to assess who understands the lesson and who needs more instruction.
Research shows that children retain more information when they have an opportunity to put it into their own words and use gestures to emphasize the most important parts of the lesson …plus, it’s lots of fun! For more information about Whole Brain Teaching please contact me, come by for a scheduled classroom visit and/or go to www.WholeBrainTeaching.com.
Thanks!
