Unfortunately, I have not been able to begin my service learning quite yet. The teacher that I will be working with and I were only able to get a workable schedule set up only a day ago, and so I won't be starting my service learning until Monday. So, I can't make any connections yet with that class, but I will try to make connections with my last service learning placement, which took place at the same school in the elementary library, from what I can remember.
I feel that the learning theory that I saw being used by the teacher was behaviorism. If the students displayed positive behavior, then they were given the benefit of checking out a book. While if they displayed negative behavior, then they didn't receive that benefit. It was also the same for if they brought back their checked-out books. If they brought them back, then they were able to check out another book. While if they didn't, then they were unable to. Also, when it came to individual learning preferences she would show video trailers for new books being released, do audio books with songs and follow along with the actual book, do read alouds which usually included audience participation, and finally silent reading time.
