The information is received first by the conscious mind, sorted and organized by the subconscious mind and finally integrated into previous knowledge by the unconscious mind. At some point in a child s life, usually by 1st Grade, one particular sequence or learning pattern becomes fairly habitual. It is very important to teachers and parents to become familiar with how children learn best. When we know their preferred learning style, we can be far more effective at supporting their learning. And consider looking at it from the children s perspective.
Life is immeasurably better when effort yields results.
Philosophy At Mulberry School, the teachers, staff and parents, provide a nurturing learning environment that develops the whole child academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. The curriculum responds to the individual students learning needs by offering a variety of educational approaches. The focus is on building a solid personal foundation of knowledge and skills and a love of learning, rather than simply listening and memorizing. Children use higher levels of thinking if they are challenged according to their developmental abilities, stimulated in their areas of interest, and given the respect and encouragement to question, investigate, invent, and make connections. Mulberry provides an environment where students are encouraged to question, to explore, and to follow logical paths to their own understandings.
