This weeks agenda in the after school program at Rancho Lindo will involve students working on their homework for about 30 min and reading for 15 min throughout the week. Reading and working on homework is key to getting good grades. Although I make time for physical fitness activities and arts and crafts, first comes homework. Some of the fun arts and crafts activities I'm planning will involve making a bird house from a milk carton...for this exercise the children will be using different colored paints and bird seed. Our fun schedule will also involve them playing ping pong, rhythmic dancing from youtube incorporating songs on/from the wii game system and finally bringing back Friday movie day. I like to throw-in not only fun but educational movies and then discuss different themes, character roles and having the children critically think about the outcome of the movie. Sometimes they don't even realize that they're learning. Till next time have fun learning...
