Understanding how children learn

 Directions:

1. Select at least one quote from at least four of this week's readings.

2. List each quote (and citation) and explain why you selected it as a compelling or interesting quote.

3. Explain what you learned this week about children''s learning in math, science, and STEM/STEAM.  

4. What am I going to do about this issue in my classroom? 

So you should have at least 4 quotes just to be clear.
