A group of Grade 1 boys busily make play-dough men
at one of several learning centres set up around the classroom
on Thursday at Assiniboia Park School by intern Melissa Moffat,
centre. The boys are, from left, Jason St. John, Joey An and
Colton Zepick. Moffat set up the centres according to a new learning
philosophy she studied on a Canadian Study Tour to Reggio Emilia,
Italy. Through this approach, the students learn by exploration
of various materials set up at different stations, covering seven
key principles of learning. Other stations had rice, snow, lego
blocks, paint, and transparent objects that were lit up on an
overhead projector. |
