Keep Learning through our everyday Activities!

We are all always learning, but many of us fail to realize just how attentive and eager our children are to soak up more information!  As we enter the Christmas season, where it is easy to get sidetracked with all the festivities and excitement, we at the Tutoring Club of Jacksonville want to encourage you to use this time to help your children continue to learn!  Cater to their learning style to help them comprehend the world around them.

 

For example, these hands-on activities really help drive home some learning principles:

 

• When wrapping gifts, show them how folding in the sides makes right triangles
• When shopping, teach them about sales tax, percentages, estimating, etc - anything to do with money and numbers is great!
• When baking or cooking, let them help you with measurements - they need to know how much a cup is versus a tablespoon!

 

And when your children ask questions, do your best to answer them in a way they will understand.  And if you don't know the answer, look it up together and that way you both learn something!
