Hello Everyone,
This week our computer lab room has been converted into a woodshop but first and foremost, I make sure our students do their homework and then read for 15 min before any arts and crafts activities begin. Studies have shown that starting children to like reading at an early age greatly improves cognition / aptitude later in life. Once homework and reading time is complete, I reward the children with some cool wood crafts, from a birdhouse, racecar, jet fighter plane, pirate ship, helicopter...it's so much fun and the children get to practice fine and gross motor skills. I explain to them the importance of reading directions, looking at the picture on the package and common sense visuals to put the crafts together. Hope everyone is doing well, until next time, have fun learning.
