I chose to build a card castle, usually I am able to build it bigger than what you see below but I guess I am not as focused today!

Learning Opinion

I honesly believe learning is what you make of it. In order to actually find out how a person learns, you need to try every situation to see how that student or person responds. As the text says, learning is driven by understanding and persisting on some task. If a student does not understand the material then they will not learn. Some students are visual learners, comprehensive learners, or hands-on learners. I think that a successful way to learn is to incorporate all three of these aspects. Allowing students to learn in different situations improves your effectiveness as a teacher and ensures each person grasps the material. As a child, I always enjoyed doing hands-on work. It seemed as if physically maniplating objects helped me to become a better student. However, I also enjoyed working in groups and learning from my peers.

Learning Environment

This learning environment is meant for younger children in more of a pre-school and kindegarten setting. I designed my learning environment to have all the essentials plus more. The entrance leads into a lobby where parents can wait to pick up their children and on each side of the lobby are televisions where the children have their play time and have an option of watching a movie or playing with the toys in the middle. On opposite sides of the environment are two classrooms that are meant to teach some structure where the students have to sit down and learn in a controlled environment.
