LEARN AT HOME

  • Subject: Learning Activities
Here are some suggestions for activities that can guarantee learning success for your child. -HOMEWORK... It is important that your child completes all assigned tasks on time. Helping your child is allowed, but encouraging them to complete their work without excessive assistance is much more desirable. Take a look at the finished product. -READ EVERYDAY... Read to your child, with your child, and have your child read to you. Make sure your child has a quiet place to read to themself also. Make sure to check your child is undersanding what they are reading. -WRITE IT UP... Get your child to write each day. This may be done in a journal or diary, creative poems or stories, or penmanship practice. -GET A JOB... Give your child responsibilities around the house and make sure they have reasonable chores that they can succeed at, and gain feelings of accomplishment. Make sure the instructions are clear and easy to follow. -PRAY TOGETHER... TAKE TIME EACH DAY TO STOP AND GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR EACH OTHER AND YOUR DAILY BLESSINGS. Make this a time you all look forward to spending together. -EXERCISE... Do something physical and fun every day. A healthy body and spirit will come from a good workout. SUCCESS is a journey... measured in STEPS left to take.
