Learning is not a one size fits all! Some kids thrive while sitting and working quietly, while others need to move around the room and busy their hands.
Learning or practicing a skill can be as simple as reading a book together, making a craft that is connected to the book, and drawing out things on blank paper. Using props or supplies you have around the house can make the story come alive to a little learner, but especially if they are disinterested in the idea of practicing! Other students may be more energetic and will enjoy the opportunity to move around the room! With just a few items like dice (whether online or in real life), sticky notes on the wall and different colored markers, learning to spell will feel like a game, not a chore! I am passionate about the importance of students loving to learn and making it fun is where it all begins. Think about your child, their likes and dislikes and let the fun begin! If you need more ideas on how to make learning fun, reach out - I've got a million!

Ezra Jack Keats is in my top 5 children's authors of all time! His art brings his stories to life and I love his sweet characters.
The Snowy Day is a precious story about a little boy who enjoyed the snow so much that he brought a snowball inside hidden in his pocket so he could enjoy it a little longer! This is an excellent read for little learners for so many reasons! Just a few ideas are to use it to discuss helpful ways to handle disappointment, how to pretend and create your own adventures, talk about different types of weather, or just enjoy the characters and setting that Ezra Jack Keats brings to life in this book. I hope you try the Snowball Cookie recipe and enjoy learning together! Check out the image below for other stories written by this great author! This book is a fun, summer book that can be used to tackle all kinds of jitters that your little one may experience. Jabari's dad talks him through a different way to think about things when he feels scared and it may just help your child too!
If you don't own a copy of Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall, check online for tons of read aloud versions others have shared. It's a great way to start the conversation about things that your child may feel worried about. Next, get out the supplies to make your own Jitter Juice using the recipe above or make up your own! Enjoy the book and make some fun summer memories! |
