Creative Supplemental Virtual Learning

Good morning everyone. Today's tip: when helping little ones learn letters, the more senses you involve, the better. Don't expect them to just sit and memorize the letter.

Hi everyone. Today's thought: if you want kids to love reading, it helps to show how much you enjoy reading.

Good evening everyone. Today's thought: some of the best learning happens when kids just play!

Hi everyone. Teaching a child to read is the gift that keeps on giving!

Hi everyone. With so many people worrying about testing, it's good to remember that testing doesn't tell you the whole picture about what kids are actually learning.

Today's tip: for little learners not yet ready to write, have them glue pieces of construction paper on the letter shape.

Good afternoon everyone. Today's post: make time for play. Kids learn just as much from free play if not more, than from traditional seat work!!!

Good afternoon everyone. The thing I love the most about homeschooling or tutoring is that you can taylor the lesson to your child's individual needs. For example: my grandson likes to move around so we find a video on a letter or a number and jump to the music. He gets to move and learn the letter or number at the same time.

Good morning everyone.
Today's thoughts: let kids be kids! I say that because most schools are all about testing and data collection starting in kindergarten. Why should a child's first taste of school be based on testing? Even playtime is almost nonexistent. Kids need time to play and explore not learn how to take and pass a state test! Enjoy your weekend.
