🐬 This is what intentional teaching looks like!
Our teachers noticed that some of our older scholars could use a little extra practice with tying—and instead of simply telling them to “keep practicing,” they got creative! 💡
Using nothing more than a table, tape, and string, they created a hands-on activity that allowed our scholars to slow down, practice the motions, and build the coordination needed to eventually master tying their own shoes. 👟🪢
We LOVE moments like this at Dolphin Preparatory Academy—when a teacher notices a need, creates a solution, and turns it into a learning opportunity. 👏🏽💙
Sometimes the best lessons aren’t found in the lesson plan. They’re created by teachers who are paying attention. 🐬✨
