MAGIC DRY ERASE BOARD never lets us down! “It’s magic bc it has all of the answers!”
Practicing some skills that we have noticed showing up in the books this student is able to now read as they head from summer into the school year. PREFIXES & SUFFIXES
I had this kiddo pick 2 prefixes, attach a base/root word to it, and then attempt a few suffixes that may be good choices as a word they know from conversation.
Keeping things light, quick, and to the point to get in some additional learning, while remembering that attention spans are iffy as this transition of the year is upon us! Emotions are all over the place for many, and I will give and take the small wins! 🌟

Great RESOURCES for EARLY CHILDHOOD, ELEMENTARY:
Follow Big Life Journal & sign up for email. Each week they send out printable resource sheets. Also have journals and toolkits for various ages.
Academics:
Adapted Mind is a beautiful interactive platform highly engaging and loved by kids, depending on what you choose Could become pricey.
Education.com is reasonable and I’ve used it as a tutor for years. Printables, kids interactive lessons, interactive worksheets, lessons, activities
KhanAcademy.org is completely free. The website has traditionally been for 1st grade and up. They also have an app for early childhood. Not sure if that is completely free, but maybe since KA is nonprofit.
MORE PLATFORM RIDICULOUSNESS: be informed and share
TOUGH CONTENT: please understand and believe this is happening in your town/city.

A kiddo I’ve worked with over the summer is so excited to start 1st Gr, he wore his backpack the entire hr session!
After sharing some tough content this week, was definitely thinking about reaching younger kids and how to do so in an appropriate way for their maturation level. Well here you go!
THIS POST NEEDS MORE ATTENTION: please pass along to educators, adult role models, parents. Discuss with kids. Love kids in a way that helps them know they are valuable, are valued, have a purpose, are here for a reason, and are loved. Teach them healthy boundaries.
