The Power of Multi-sensory Learning:=20
A New “Old” Way for Kids to Learn Spanish

Imagine a group of children being guided through a museum. As they walk,
they listen to the guide=92s comments, look at the exhibits, stand on
tiptoes to get a closer look, maybe climb excitedly on replicas of old
fighter planes or dig carefully in a sandbox for “dinosaur fossils.” The

a
rich and engaging experience.

Field trips or museum trips don=92t seem like cutting-edge educational

experience it consistently and in many ways, using different parts of
your body and brain. Read more
