Learning is fun with world-class Montessori materials at Emmy Norberton International School.

Here are pictures of our nobles at a seminar organized by Topfaith University Mkpatak in Port Harcourt.

The seminar provided students with the right opportunity to examine the need for holistic education and 21st-century learning skills for a successful tertiary education experience.

At Emmy-Norberton we believe passion should be fueled.
Many people had the zeal to be something great and spectacular but at some point lost their vision and passion.
That is why career days are really important to remind the children that they can be anything they want and be really happy in their fields.
Just look at our ENIS Engineers!!!!

There’s cooking, and then there’s cooking with passion, creativity, and love.
We firmly believe that the energy you put into a recipe is just as important as the ingredients you use.
Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes, and cooking. It’s about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity.
Cooking requires confident guesswork and improvisation, experimentation and substitution, dealing with failure and uncertainty in creativity.

What is Dyscalculia?

Dyscalculia is a learning disability in math. People with Dyscalculia have trouble with math at many levels. They often struggle with simple maths like Bigger vs Smaller, addition, algebra. Basic concepts like quantities and abstract math can also be a challenge.

Dyscalculia is a condition that makes it hard to do math and tasks that involve math; Experts believe it’s a common condition as an estimated 5 to 10 per cent of people might have Dyscalculia.

Dyscalculia is not math dyslexia or number dyslexia. While Dyslexia is a challenge with reading, Dyscalculia is a challenge with math.

Dyscalculia can make it hard to do everyday tasks: Cooking, grocery shopping, and getting places on time all involve these basic math skills or number sense.

Kids who have a hard time with math may continue to struggle with it as adults. But some strategies can help them improve math skills and manage the challenges.

Dyscalculia signs and symptoms

Dyscalculia Signs may vary from person to person. And they can look different at different ages.

Problems with number sense may show up as early as preschool in some people. In other people, the challenges become clear as math gets more complex in school.

Common signs of Dyscalculia include trouble:
Grasping the meaning of quantities or concepts like biggest vs smallest
Remembering math facts in school, like times tables
Counting money or making change
Estimating time
Judging speed or distance
Understanding the logic behind math

Possible causes of Dyscalculia:
Researchers believe it’s partly due to differences in how the brain is structured and how it functions.

Genetics and heredity:
Dyscalculia tends to run in families. Research shows that genetics may also play a part in problems with math.

Brain development:
Brain imaging studies have shown some differences between people with and without Dyscalculia. The differences have to do with how the brain is structured and how it functions in learning skills.

Dyscalculia diagnosis:

The only way to get a diagnosis is through an evaluation. The examination can be at any age.

Evaluators use a set of tests just for Dyscalculia. But evaluations don’t just point out challenges. They also show strengths.

An identification of the problem helps the kids get supports and services at school. For example, kids might get special instruction in math. The school might also give accommodations to make learning math easier.

Many people are relieved to know that their challenges with math are real because people who struggle with maths may be seen as less intelligent even when they are excelling in other areas. Plus, getting the right supports can help them thrive in school, work, and everyday life.

May September bring you more joy, gladness, laughter, and fun than ever before.

We urge our students to engage in any or all of these activities.

Reading: read a good novel or a self-development book to cultivate good reading habits.

Writing: writing is an excellent pass-time activity for fun, do it to sharpen your writing skills, and nurture your creativity!

Learn a new language: being bilingual offers many cognitive, social, and professional benefits.

Take a Course: sharpen your brain and memory.

Cooking: learning a survival skill isn't such a terrible activity.

Volunteer: you can volunteer for your church activities or help someone who needs your help, like an old neighbor, your parents
