Since I have chosen to teach younger children I believe that learning material and teaching aids will include things that are fun but keep the student’s attention. Since they are younger and full of energy things like songs and dancing, will give them a chance to learn while keeping their short attention span activated. After all, who can pass up the chance to do the chicken dance?

If I happen to have assistance I think group projects that are monitored will also work fine. The reason assistance is needed is that this age group usually needs a lot of hands-on help and depending on class size one teacher may not be enough. Another favorite of my selected age group is story-telling, and flash cards. Flash cards can sometimes add competitiveness to a lesson. There is software available, especially for younger children, that provides good learning tools but computer access is not always available.
