Visual Learning


Dear Mom and Dad:

Mrs. Ly’s and Ms. Deobald’s class had Roots of Empathy today. We are learning about communication and safety and how this applies to our baby teacher.

In the afternoon we represented our learning using pictures and words. Looking at visuals such as pictures and drawing pictures helps us remember and retain information. We drew some pictures and symbols of what we have learned so far about Nova Scotia. I am discovering what kind of learner I am. I know that my representation of work might be different than someone else’s. My teachers showed us some examples of their work and they were all-different but had the same message. Ask me to tell you what I chose to draw to represent my understanding of Nova Scotia so far.

We practiced drawing a light house by following a guided drawing. They are beautiful! We will be creating our masterpieces tomorrow on water color paper. 

Question of the day: Post on the blog what you are learning in word work. We are all in different groups and it would be neat to see what others are learning about!

Love,
The Rainbow Triad
