Answer the following questions:

Which learning styles did all the children seem to enjoy and why?
I think that students enjoyed more in auditory when they sing the song with the
video because they enjoy singing because they feel freedom and they are more
active learner. But I think some of them enjoy in kinesthetic learning style and
some in the visual. It depends on student intelligent.

Why do you think the teacher incorporates a variety of learning styles for the
children?

Each students has different intelligent some are intelligent in a body, some in
auditory and some in visual, use variety learning style help the student to stuck
the information in their mind. So the teacher must use learning style.

Notice which activities are repeated with a variety of learning styles e.g. read a
story, listen to a story, act the story, draw the story. Can you find other examples
e.g. math or science
- Math class: they always sing a song when they are counting. Also, each
student has a whiteboard, and they write on the whiteboard the numbers.
Also, the teacher let them move and making groups.
