Modalities: What Visual: The visual learning will be the shapes lay out and the teacher will describe

in this lesson? How? Auditory: The auditory will be learning from the you-tube video and listening to the
song so the students can have a catchy song to understand each shape.
Kinesthetic: The kinesthetic activity is the partnering headband activity getting the
students involved in describing the shape and making sure their partner knows the
shapes.
Tactile: The tactile learning will be able to have the six shapes in front of them to feel
and touch. This learning will give the students the hands on learning.
Strategies: What I used different learning strategies when teaching this lesson. Cooperative learning
