Hands-on Activities

One of my favorite things about ILP has been that you work so closely with your classmates and all become good friends! At the end of the program, you will already know so many people in your area with the same profession and can make some great connections. Pretty awesome! :)


While at the Discovery Center, I was quickly reminded how beneficial hands-on activities can be. It is a great way for kids to get their energy out while enhancing their learning. Our group work during our nature walk reminded me of my sixth grade leaf project. Every year, parents would dread this project because it involved so much of the parents' time. We completed a huge binder with just about every type of leaf imaginable, all in page protector sheets and glued and labeled perfectly. This quick activity showed me that if this project was done in class, each student could have been assigned a different leaf to find and show the class and the same outcome could probably have been achieved. It's all about working together and making it fun!
