Advanced Academic Program News
Students in General Education classes are enjoying AAP Response, Process and Socratic Seminar lessons. As we work on Thinking Strategies in different subject areas, we continue to learn that SMART people don’t know all of the answers; SMART people don’t give up trying to find the answers.
Did you know that according to a Wall Street Journal article, handwriting is actually important for brain development and cognition or understanding? This means that children who write in long-hand are activating the thought, language, and short-memory regions of their brains.
Children can practice their handwriting skills by writing thank you notes, telephone messages and daily journal entries. A journal entry might include something they are thankful for that day and something they want to improve upon - such as a skill at school, a sport, music, and/or an after school activity. Have fun and enjoy the benefits of writing with your child.
