Open House

Greetings!

School starts soon. To prepare students for fall classes, I have scheduled an open house. I am eager to meet your youngster(s). A drawing for a free semester of classes is being offered. More below. 

On August 5th from 3pm to 5:30pm and August 6th from 2pm to 4pm I will be hosting an open house at First Baptist Church (off 6th Avenue downtown). This would be a terrific time to come and check out how to enter the building, see what's there, meet the teacher and visit the classroom. Registration forms will be available to complete. There will be some goodies for students, as well as prizes drawn for students and parents, alike. 

Bring a friend or more to explore our Open House and earn a chance(s) to win a free semester of lessons for one child. (One drawing ticket for each family that arrives due to your invitation. More kids means more energy and increased engagement in learning. I love working with groups.)!

Open House Location:. 😊

First Baptist Church (off 6th Avenue-behind CTC, downtown)

📚 All classes begin the week of August 29th.

Writing, Reading, History & Art...

To develop your child's mind and inspire Remark!

Writing- Students will use Thinking Maps to organize their ideas and freewrites to find their inner writer. They will apply writing lesson topics and launch into producing creative writing, essays, poetry, etc. 

Reading-Students will focus on becoming voracious readers and the strategies that make reading meaningful.

Art- Students will complete a variety of projects, reflecting our artistic, literary, and historical pursuits.

History- Students will explore set times in history through reading, discussion groups, project exploration, and presentations. Cross curricular activities will be provided to incorporate writing lessons and enhance the learning experience.

Methods-Students will work or present with partners, in groups, and individually.

Personal Attention- Individual and small group conferences will occur during each class, to focus/direct students’ individualized needs.

"Read In" Field Trips will be planned to bolster our voracious reading appetites.

Study skills training and 17 Success Attributes will be woven into lessons wherever possible.

Purpose:       During the primary, intermediate  and middle school years there is increasing effort to shape the young person's mind into a literate, knowledge-comprehending student. A developed love for writing and reading sets just the stage needed to gain and  prepare for the more difficult demands of high school and college.    This preparation is the main goal of Mind-Full Learning, LLC.
