School is back in session, but many students still haven't returned to the classroom full time. For some kids, instability can be worse than school closures themselves.

Here at SOAR High, we support many families whose children haven't yet returned to school, whose school schedule is inconsistent, or who found that learning loss seriously impacted their child's academic performance. Contact us today to find out how SOAR High can help your child soar!

School Is Back in Person, but the Five-Day School Week Often Isn’t We asked 148,000 parents how many days of school their children missed in January. A quarter said more than a week.

As winter comes to a close and springtime begins to bloom, the end of the school year is approaching fast! What are your summer plans?

Spring has sprung--and spring break has come and gone! For many children, the return to school is exciting. But for others, the transition back to school can be a source of anxiety.

So how do we make the back-to-school transition easier on kids?

✅ CREATE A ROUTINE CHART: Children thrive when there is order and structure. Help your child create a chart of all the things that need to be done each day. You could include waking up, eating breakfast, getting shoes on, and completing homework assignments.

✅ ENCOURAGE A SENSE OF BELONGING IN SCHOOL: Allow children time to socialize with friends after school. Help them explore different extra-curricular clubs and activities that can foster a sense of belonging in the school community.

✅ LOOK OUT FOR SIGNS OF STRESS: Physical symptoms like nail biting can be an indicator of anxiety. So can sudden, unexplained complaints of stomachaches or headaches. If your child is exhibiting signs of stress, their anxiety is often related to school.

✅ ASK FOR HELP: SOAR High Tutoring stands for "Students Overcoming Adversity to Reach High," and we mean it! Each and every student who comes to us has a unique obstacle to overcome, including school stress. We know that each and every child can overcome their learning difficulties, and we're always here to help. Reach out to SOAR High today to learn more!

DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE MATH ANXIETY? Read on...

There are LOTS of ways to make math fun for struggling readers. "Decoding worksheets" like the one attached here is a great way to help your child weave critical thinking, logic, and math skills together...without them even knowing they're learning!

At SOAR High, our approach is based on one simple principle: EVERY child can succeed. Each child has their own unique skills and struggles, but every single child can thrive if they're given the tools to overcome difficulty. For many kids, math struggles are simply a manifestation of math anxiety. That's why we regularly incorporate games, puzzles, and fun projects into our learning to help kids realize that math and learning are FUN!

If your child has math anxiety, don't fret: we're here to help! Call or text (904) 806-1824 today or visit us online at soarhightutoring.com to schedule a consultation!

And HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! ☘️☘️☘️

THE #1 REASON YOUR CHILD HATES MATH:

Here's the thing: a lot of kids struggle with math. We've been teaching for a long time, and we've seen MANY children over the years who say they "just don't like math."

Now, listen, we get it: math can be hard! But after years of experience, we've identified one MAJOR pattern that almost every child who says they hate math or that they're just not good at it has in common:

They don't know their basic times tables.

Now hang on. Before you go and say, "But my child knows his times tables!" Ask your kid a multiplication problem--say, 7 x 7--and see how long it takes him to answer it. Our guess? It'll take him longer than you expect.

WHY THIS MATTERS: Picture a tower made of blocks, or a pyramid made of bricks. That's math! In math, every single problem can be solved correctly if you just follow a particular series of steps in the correct order. But if you don't lay the base correctly--meaning, if you don't understand the fundamental problems all the other steps are based on--you won't make it all the way to the top.

EVERY math concept is ultimately based on times tables. (Seriously, we mean EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.) Here are just a few examples of the math skills that require multiplication:

-Division
-Reducing fractions
-Word problems about distance, rate, and time
-Word problems about money
-Percents
-Area & perimeter
-Pythagorean theorem

..and that's just the beginning.

If your child is struggling with math, it's likely because they don't have the base knowledge ALL other math skills are built on. We've seen this countless times over the years, and we've had tremendous success helping struggling math learners by just starting with the basics.

Remember the pyramid or tower from before? That's SOAR High's approach to math. We tailor each and every lesson to your child's UNIQUE needs, starting at the very base of the tower to identify which "blocks" your child is missing. Then we work our way up, and before you know it: your child is ON TOP of their math skills!

Your child's math struggles are fixable. Contact SOAR High today and watch child SOAR!

Why should you never talk to Pi at a party?
