Music
Music and movement is what children were born to do. Engaging in meaningful musical activity stimulates virtually every neural center, creating "fireworks" in the brain. Research shows music participation to be highly beneficial to a child's cognitive, emotional, and motor growth.
Drawing
Drawing is one of the most important activities you and your students can do. Drawing not only provides the basis for other creative activities – like painting, sculpture and printmaking – but it also provides a direct link with reading, writing and especially mathematics.
Yoga
In my experience, yoga classes with this age group can be really satisfying. Once I’ve tuned into their rhythm and practiced regularly with them, I really start to see how yoga and breath work can help them build their balance, improve coordination and develop their ability to consciously relax.
Sports
Fun sports games is one fun thing that nearly all kids can agree upon. Whether it’s team sports activities, sports games for kids, kids exercises, or even just talking about sports (scroll down to see our inspirational sports quotes!), there is something for everyone.
Curriculum Solution
The learnfromschool uses a blended learning environment to implement a fully Common Core State Standard aligned curriculum in all content areas.
Academic Partnership
Trusting relationships between teachers and families have been shown to improve student success in school.
Self Learning
Self-learning is the modern form of learning. Not that it has replaced traditional, instructional learning, but it has supplemented it and with some great results.
Homeschooling
Homeschooling is an alternative to traditional formal school formats. Homeschool students learn inside their homes most often led by their parents.
Students learn through direct specialized instruction as well as online learning. The multisensory approach to instruction also includes traditional textbooks, hands-on opportunities and experiential learning. We also have a number of online intervention programs for math and reading that provide ongoing progress monitoring data that is crucial for the classroom staff to develop and evaluate student progress.
Our virtual high school curriculum provides instruction in all high school courses; it allows students to choose classes that can be difficult to provide in a small private school environment, and also provides a remedial experience for students who were not able to succeed in settings with traditional classroom instruction.
Academic partnerships begin with Goal Setting Parent-Teacher Conferences where teachers, who have received training, meet with families to:
Self-learning is the modern form of learning. Not that it has replaced traditional, instructional learning, but it has supplemented it and with some great results. Self-directed learning has been proven to be effective, convenient, and fast, thanks to the rise of the internet. Nowadays, you can learn how to do almost anything through a simple Google search, by watching a YouTube tutorial, and by simply reading instruction manuals. Self-learning is the new form of learning that is equipping people with skills that are relevant to their daily activities. However, this can be a challenging form of learning even for the brightest students, since it requires lots of discipline.
In case you are not sure whether this is the best mode of learning, here are some proven advantages;
You Develop Strong Problem Solving Skills
Self-learning gives you the ability to identify problems and quickly look for effective solutions on your own. This could be from colleagues, the internet or by exploration. Whatever the case, challenges and obstacles do not kill your drive to get things done, instead, they provide you with new opportunities to learn something new at your own pace and time. You get to learn how to actively look for solutions instead of having solutions brought to you. Moreover, you can easily adapt to changes in the environment due to the ability to learn fast.
It is a Stress-Free Learning Process
The process of self-learning places a great emphasis on the process rather than the outcome of the learning. Moreover, there is no pressure to learn the required content within a certain time, with the ultimate goal being the achievement of high grades. You choose what you want to learn when you want to learn, and how you want to learn. The overall outcome is an internalization of content and this is why self-learners tend to internalize what they learn, more than those who take part in directed learning.
Homeschooling is an alternative to traditional formal school formats. Homeschool students learn inside their homes most often led by their parents. There are a variety of motivations and goals in mind when parents consider homeschooling their children. These can include concerns for education quality, the social environment within public schools, an inability of schools to serve the special needs of individual children, a desire to control how children are taught and an intentional focus on one-to-one learning and teaching.
What is Needed to Homeschool Successfully?
Parents deciding to homeschool their children are making a significant commitment. Homeschooling parents should expect to spend as much time teaching their children as they would working full-time. The following are traits and requirements usually necessary for successful homeschooling:
Teachers often learn more when preparing a lesson than their students learn in the classroom. This is especially true for homeschooling parents. Since most homeschooling parents are not professional teachers, they also learn a lot about teaching methodology. Parents teaching their children also learn new things they never knew about them. Effective teachers must enjoy and work hard to learn.
It requires hard work to develop skills and achieve goals. In many cases, the level of success usually correlates with the effort involved. Homeschooling is not different than any other venture requiring effort to succeed. However, the effort involved in homeschooling is well worth it since you are preparing your children for their future.
