There are many different ways that students learn. One way that is described in the book by Jean Piaget is that they interact with as well as adapt to their enviornment. He believes that they gain knowledge and learn from their experiences. I agree with this because I know that I have to be comfortable in my enviornment in order for me to learn better and of course i think I gain more knowledge from my own experiences. Who doesn't? Students also learn from remembering different strategies. Repeating different information over and over in their head they are using a strategy called rehearsal. This will help them remember words and definitions if they are preparing for a spelling test or any other kind of test. Other strategies include: predicting, organizing, elaborating, and monitoring. Using these different strategies students are able to obtain more information to help them.
The six components of Language Arts are: Listening, talking, reading, writing, viewing, and visual. Teaching Language Arts to students is very important because it gets them ready for the future. You are going to need all six components of language arts in order to get a good job. Language arts connect to how students learn because they use it everyday. Students use it to express themselves, socialize with other students, read different literature, solve problems etc... The main thing is tha language arts does connect to the way children learn.

3321 Blog Entry #1 VALUES
Chapter 1 notes basically discuss the importance of values, literature, and child development. We discussed the different stages that children learn as well as why it is important for a child to be literate. Some of the stages include: Language, Cognitive, Personality, and Social development. The notes also explained people's personalities and how they develope throughout their life. Personality traits adjust to your enviornment and those traits can remain constant or change if you have had something dramatic happen in your life.
To me a value is something you believe in and is something that has moral worth. It's the way you live your life and your values are the things you go by in your life.My most important value is my family. I guess since I come from a large family my whole world revolves around them. They have always been there for me and have supported any decisions I've made, whether right or wrong and thats why I put them first. I'm sure I've learned this at home. I don't think it was taught to me but I just picked it up like a habit. Can I teach this value? Yes to my children when I have some. I would want them to know how important family is but also teach them other values and let them decide which value is most important to them. I would teach them by showing how to get along with their brothers and sisters and also through family books or just spending time with the family. I don't teach it now but I do let everyone know how much my family is important to me and they can figure out that this is one of my values in life.
