A NEW TOOL FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR

Smart Teachings Blog is a great resource. One of the recent entries focuses on videos found on You Tube , which regrettably is blocked by many school disticts to protect students from questionable material. There are programs that you can use to convert "YouTube" videos to downloadable formats for use in the classroom, like "vixy.net" and Media Convereter.
Otherwise, the rest of the blog is packed with useful information:
100 Tips & Tutorials
100 Essential Tips and Resources for Student Teachers
100+ Motivational Techniques to Take Learning to the Next Level
100 Awesome Classroom Videos to Learn New Teaching Techniques

My Thought About Kids Education

I have enrolled my daughter to the Couching Centre since she was in Kindegarten...
She is really enjoying the centre and learn a lot about math and english... and able to compete with other kids in her class at school.

But, why so many people telling me she is still too young to go to the centre...instead, there are many kids go there since preschool..... amazing right?

Why did I send her to the couching centre so early?
Because she is the youngest and smallest kid in her class... even in her entire school level... It does worried me about her ability... as english is not our first language.
I believe if she does better in her education, it will allow her friends to accept her as who she is.
She does performs well at school and the couching centre. Received many merit awards for maths and english... Not bad, right....?

After her improvement in her education performance, her friends' parent start to send their kids to the centre too.... unbelievable... they were the one who said no need to waste a lot of money for the young kids...., they were too young to go to the centre...

Well... what do you think about it?

My believe is my kids are my investment... I want them to get the best.. and better for them to be educated well since they are a little kid.... The youngest the better because their brain still growing and working so fast.... As long they enjoy it.. I will continue to send my kids to the centre...
