Sep 08 | Versatility Improves Learning
Many questions are asked to educators and learners about ways to improve their learning efficiency. One of the main focuses has been the learning style of the learner and the teaching style of the teacher. The aim has always been to align the two to guarantee a student reaches their maximum potential. While ideal, this is a challenge and very unrealistic. The average American classroom has one teacher with 24 students; all of which can have any combination of learning styles. Because our classrooms are not Rubik Cubes, the schools will find if improbable to align classrooms teaching style with learning styles. This leaves parents hoping for a magical match of sorts to aide our students or has parents rushing to the main office trying to align all the colors on the right side to improve their students’ school year performance.

Nov 13 | Third Grade Crunch
Fractions, decimals, geography, and evaluating relationships between the land and the people that live there...as if third graders don't have enough "firsts" to deal with they are also expected to begin taking responsibility for their "stuff". Whether this means remembering that it's Tuesday so they need to take their practice book and clarinet to school or telling mom before 8:30 p.m. that they have a project due tomorrow that requires blue paint...third graders are expected to plan for and remember a myriad of details that mom took care of just last year. But how exactly do you tame your free spirited, busy eight year old and get them to slow down enough to remember anything?
