    Therefore, game play should not be the only platform of learning within a classroom. Games can get kids interested and will start to develop these skills; but experience and practice is what will help them learn to use the knowledge they are accumulating. Whether it be by taking field trips more often, or doing more experiments and projects in class, activity is the best way to get kids involved in what they are learning. By letting them put their knowledge into practice, it let’s them see how important education is when it comes to solving problems or working towards a goal. Cathy Davidson explains this realization by “knowing that, when tested by the most grueling challenges ahead, you have the capacity to learn what is required to succeed” (Davidson 67).…

    I have loved every moment spent at my site these past 8 weeks and look forward to the weeks ahead. I am observing at the first Pre-K in the district that I graduated from. The school and classroom is very welcoming, I have enjoyed getting to know all 16 of the children, seeing their shyness slip away and their personalities come out. Being able to be apart of the children’s day once a week has taught me so much about how a public school is ran and especially the Pre-K.
