Free Speech & Drama Workshops @ The Little Language League

Image
I received a email from The New Age Parents about The Little Language League's open house on Saturday. They have free speech and drama workshops for age 4-10. The timing and the location is just right for us. The workshop started with the story about "The Princess and the Pirate Prince" They had talk about 5 senses :hearing,sight,touch,smell and taste.Speech and Drama skills appear to develop best in a world that is rich with sounds, sights, and consistent exposure to the speech and language of others.Children learn best when their senses are engaged and classes at Stage & Such are filled with just that and more. They teach children use difference tone of sound to sing a song, like a high pitch, lower pitch,boring mood, happy mood,a ha chew song, children like best. They play with children Laugh and play together.. Crying... Free party bag.

This two weeks there were always heavy downpour in the Saturday morning.Poor S has to wake up from her cozy bed and go for her swimming lesson.Lesson was delayed till 10am,lighting stop but still drizzling,weather was cold. All children still need to practice hard in the pool. Their practice wasn't easy..every lesson they need to complete about 12 or 14 laps for their lesson. As a parent standing beside the poor with mixture feeling. The learning was hard and I really peifu their wisdom.

Design-it-Yourself (DIY) @ Icing Room

http://www.theicingroom.com/ Playful minds are always learning. Some children has a short attention span,it hard for they to concentrate on their boring learning journey. Let us throw away our traditional way of teaching. Icing room has been open for quite some time, always never have a chance to let S try it. Play is our brain’s favorite way of learning. by Dianne Ackerman DIY Learning way is in stress-free environment, let children do whatever they want and free mind. Smile in their face, just have fun. Almost all creativity involves purposeful play. No negative comments on them, give a support on their "creative work". Praise her for effort. Bring home laugh and joy. Let children feel your "Love" in them

Today, S Sch homework English free writing about "My Favourite Ice Cream" Sabrina's wrote : My favourite ICE CREAM is strawberry ice cream with whipped cream. Our first family chocolate fondue is at Anderson's. Once it was being put down, I grabbed a spoon, I scooped a marshmallow and dipped it in chocolate souce. Next, I took a cone and took a spoon and I chose strawberry with whipped cream. It was super-duper yummy! There are more flavours : cookies and cream, chocolate with nuts and vanilla. I tried Mcdonald's, Swensens, but no shop is better than Anderson's ! Next of all, I want to share with you my experience. I attended " I AM A LITTLE ICE-CREAM CHEF! " I enjoyed how to make Ice-Cream. And I chose strawberry because it it my favourite flovour !
