I just received the nicest comment about “Let’s Memorize States & Capitals” cards. This is why I love what I do. (Making memorizing fun.) I spent a lot of time thinking about how I could associate the state name with the capital name. I tried different stories and pictures and if I couldn’t remember them after a few weeks, out they’d go until I found the perfect match. I also love it when parents participate in the learning fun with their kids!

The state Capitals are simply amazing. I have a 6 year old son who started learning them a month ago and he already knows most of the Capitals. We work on two at a time and he actually loves them. I am learning them along with him. Before this system I could never remember them.  Sylvia

This week I invited Jena Names to be a guest blogger. I loved her article about writing a “Celebration List!”

Your Perspective = Your Child’s Destiny

“How parents and teachers talk tells a child how they feel about him… To a
large extent, their language determines his destiny.
–Haim Ginott

As our children enter school, we begin to view them through an “education
lens”. One that focuses more on their abilities to conform to a preset mold
(whether it’s a 4th grade curriculum or the kid next door) rather than
nurturing their unique talents.

Recently, I created a Celebration List and it transformed the way I view my
children. (This idea came from the book, “Discover Your Child’s Learning
Style” by Mariaemma Willis and Victoria Kindle Hodson.) Grab a piece of
paper and list your child’s skills, accomplishments, and uniqueness. Then
read it daily. You’ll see all that your child CAN do. You’ll begin speaking
to her “cans” instead of her “cant’s”. So, keep things in perspective and
celebrate your child.

Thank You!
Jena

Kindergarten Sudoku

I just came across a book that I think is a brilliant idea – Kindergarten Sudoku by Peter Isaa Kattan.  I’ve been studying the way children learn for many years, so I appreciate the educational value of this type of book. If children are exposed to logical puzzles and sequencing at an early age, the brain forms important synapses and links which stimulates higher level thinking skills. A child’s  ability to memorize and retain information is greatly increased.

In other words, give your kids lots of opportunities to think logically. Make sure they are ready for school and life. This book has not only number Sudoku puzzles but letter & shape puzzles.
