 My Educational Philosophy & Engaging Learning Activities

Date: 12/21/25

Author: Ms. Kaylee In my first-grade classroom, learning is hands-on, interactive, and fun! My teaching

philosophy is centered on student engagement, differentiated instruction, and fostering a

love for learning. I believe in nurturing each child’s curiosity while providing them

with a safe and supportive space to explore new ideas. Classroom Activities: 📚 Interactive Read-Alouds – We will read engaging books, ask questions, and

discuss themes to build literacy skills. 🎲 Math Centers – Students will

learn math concepts in small groups through hands-on activities using manipulatives like counting bears and ten frames. 🎨 Creative Arts & Crafts – We will incorporate art into our lessons to encourage self-

expression and creativity. 🤝 Cooperative Learning – Students will work on fun projects in pairs and small groups

to build teamwork and communication skills. 🌿 Science Explorations – From planting seeds to simple science experiments, students

will engage in discovery-based learning. Here are some snapshots of our classroom fun!
