My Learning Profile

1. I learn best when......

I am a kinesthetic/visual learner. I learn best when I am moving and focusing on the whole picture. I also do best when the learning is relevant and meaningful to me. For example in Health we got into partners and acted out different types of behaviors. I feel that I really understood the different behaviors when I acted them out.

2. I need to .....

 In order to learn best I need to see the whole picture and physically do what is being learned. I need to move, especially my hands and feet to process new learning.

3. The strategies that would help me in my learning....

 I need to have encouragement and good modeling from those teaching me. I need to sit close to the front on the left hand side and be able to move around without disturbing others. Some activities that help are reading aloud, doing the thinking caps from brain gym, eye hand coordination play, double doodles, walking and soccer. When I have a balance of art, music, movement and intra-personal skills combined with language arts and math it is beneficial.

4. I would like my teachers to know this about me.....

My teacher puts me at the front and doesn't really allow me to move around that much. I hopes she understands that I need to move and will move me back further in the class so that I don't bother others. I want my teacher to know that i need to do activities that involves putting my hands on things It also helps if i sit on the floor.

I hope my teacher understands me and lets mr do most of these things.
