Sailing Center

Though our class was not able to be too involved in the learning of the children, I believe they had a life changing experience. Before attending the Sailing Center, most kids thought that a learning environment had to be in a classroom setting where they are expected to be seated. The environment they were in accommodated kinesthetic and visual learners since they were physically doing an activity and observing the results. This may have been the point in which a child decided what kind of learner they are. Whether they learned better when the teacher was talking, when they were building boats or when they were observing what floated and what did not. At the end of the day the kids were able to learn about buoyancy, and have some fun doing so. They were also able to get to know themselves a little better in regards to what learning style works best for them.
