As the year progresses, you may notice that our classroom doesn’t run like
other classrooms. We will be learning through Whole Brain Teaching, a research
based system that utilizes all areas of the brain, keeps children engaged
throughout their lessons, and helps them retain much more information than the
standard lecture-discussion model.
Whole Brain Teaching is a highly interactive form of instruction that
delivers information to students in short “chunks.” Kids then 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 discover 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 key
instructional units …plus, it’s amazingly fun!

Thank you,
