Yesterday was the first day I spent at my service learning school. While I watched the teachers they mostly taught the children how to learn using the kinesthetic learning theory. The teachers practiced this theory by bringing the students to a BYU event. At this BYU event the teachers allowed college students to entertain the elementary age students by showing them how to use sport equipments. The college students understand that the children in this class have disabilities and can't understand things as quickly as other students.
So as I watched and participated in helping the students. I watched as they would see someone shoot a basketball into a hoop and understand that the ball needed to go through the hoop. Also some students only learn by sign language and the teacher has to kind of act out what the student wants to do. These students really on kinesthetic and visual theories in order to learn more.
