Key Tips For Learning How To Teach Kindergarten Students

Key Tips For Learning How To Teach Kindergarten StudentsIf you are interested in learning how to teach at the kindergarten level, it can be very helpful to know which of the most popular tutoring subjects are out there. This article will provide some helpful advice. First, some key words you need to know are 'typical topics'key' topics. A typical topic is a subject that is covered often enough that you can expect students to ask you questions about it.The most common for kindergarten is by reading. It is not the most critical part of the core subject for pre-school. Core subjects include phonics and reading, which are usually taught along with language and math. In today's world, reading and grammar can be taught later, in kindergarten. Core subjects are also often included in kindergarten because they can be taught in class and are a foundational skill for students, so they are helpful for bringing up to date.For the most popular tutoring subjects, the key words are 'interaction'lan guage.' These two have been updated in recent years. They should be included in a core subject, since they teach the student what they need to know and learn in order to function at their grade level. Interaction includes reading aloud, writing things down, listening, and spelling words. Language includes reading, writing, speaking, reading, writing, listening, and writing.The most popular tutoring subjects are English, mathematics, and reading. English is the most important subject of all. Because English is such a popular subject, teachers tend to teach it in early childhood. Mathematics is another key subject that should be taught at the early stage of child development. When it is taught early, the child learns better than when it is learned later. Reading also provides the building blocks of the other subjects.Interactivetutoring is an activity that involves interaction between the student and the teacher. The activity could be watching a video or playing an activity, like colo ring or painting. These activities can be as simple as observing from the side.Special classes may also be added for those with disabilities. The key word for these classes is 'special.' The student needs to demonstrate that they can carry out the instruction given.A successful lesson plan will always include these three core subjects, interaction, language, and special classes. The key to a successful lesson plan is teaching the student to do all the basic tasks and skills first, before moving on to more complex ones.

2018 Official Guide to the GMAT Review Series Problem #23 (Algebra Distance-Rate Problems)

2018 Official Guide to the GMAT Review Series Problem #23 (Algebra Distance-Rate Problems) GMAT MBA Admissions Blog This post is the fourth in our series on using strategies to answer specific questions from the 2018 Official Guide. Here, one of our most experienced GMAT tutors, John Easter, analyzes a question about distance-rate. During a certain time period, Car X traveled north along a straight road at a constant rate of 1 mile per minute and used fuel at a constant rate of 5 gallons every 2 hours. During the time period, if Car X used exactly 3.75 gallons of fuel, how many miles did Car X travel? (A) 36 (B) 37.5 (C) 40 (D) 80 (E) 90 This is a basic distance-rate problem, but the standard D = RT table isn't very convenient here. Before I jump in, I'm going to do some estimation/approximation and see if I can eliminate some of the answer choices. First, 1 mile per minute = 60 miles per hour. Second if 5 gallons is equivalent to 2 hours of travel, 3.75 gallons will be more than one hour (it's more than half of 5 gallons). So, Car X has obviously gone more than 60 miles. A, B, and C are out. Now if I round 3.75 gallons to 4 gallons, then the corresponding travel time will be 4/5 of 2 hours = 4/5(2) = 8/5 hours. At 60 miles per hour, that's 60(8/5) = 96 miles Because I rounded up, this should be slightly larger than the exact distance. The correct answer is E. If that's a little bit too seat-of-the-pants for you, we can use a proportion and solve for the exact amount of travel time: 3.75/5 = x/2 (2)(3.75) = 5x And x equals 7.5/5 = 15/10 = 3/2. So 1.5 hours at 60 miles per hour is exactly 90 miles. About the Author John Easter is one of MyGuru’s longest tenured and most experiencedGMAT tutors.

Too much homework How parents can help.

Too much homework How parents can help. Does your child or teen spend too much time on homework? Do you find yourself worrying that he or she is going to bed too late or is overly stressed because the amount of homework he or she has is overwhelming? Well, youre not alone. Complaints about homework seem to be at an all-time high, and relate to the quantity of homework (He doesnt have enough hours in the day to do all of this!), the level of effort or skill required to complete homework (This seems like a college-level assignment!), and the age at which kids are starting to have homework (How can he be expected to do that by himself?). While national data show that the amount of homework assigned to kids of all ages has generally stayed flat over the past decade, and even decreased in some cases, the academic skills engaged during homework time have changed (e.g., increased emphasis on critical thinking, requirements to show your work on math assignments, etc.). As a result, homework may actually be more taxing today for ki ds with ADHD. Many of the parents I have worked with tell me that homework is the most stressful part of their day because of the frequent arguments and conflicts that come up during this time. Most tell me that they feel like arguments around homework are having a serious negative impact on their relationship with their child. While you cant eliminate homework from your childs life, there are things you and your child or teen can do to help make homework more manageable. Schedule dedicated homework time. The National PTA and the National Education Association suggest that kids should be doing about 10 minutes of homework per grade level, and many public schools aim for these targets. So, your 6th grader should have at least an hour of homework to do. Your sophomore in high school should have about an hour and 40 minutes (100 total minutes). You and your child may believe this is longer than he or she should be spending on homework each night, but if this is the reality of what is being assigned, then its best to be prepared for it. Help your child or teen figure out how to set aside the specified amount of time in his or her daily schedule. Any less dedicated time than this, and your child will probably find himself or herself with too much to do and too little time, even if he or she is efficient. In fact, if your child has ADHD, he or she may need about 50% more time than kids without ADHD to complete work. If your child or teen is regularly taking much longer than expected to complete assignments (e.g., a 6th grader regularly takes 1 hour and 30 minutes or longer), then talk to your childs teacher. Often teachers dont realize how long homework is taking, and are open to making adjustments to your childs assignments to accommodate his or her ADHD. Create an action plan. Kids with ADHD often have a hard time starting on their homework, but do pretty well once theyre going. Parents can help by sitting down with their child at the beginning of homework time to create an action plan. Have your child make a list of each assignment, the due date, the tasks necessary to complete the work, and the materials he or she needs to get the job done. Then, decide which assignment should be completed first, and sit with him or her for a minute or two while he or she gets started. Try a homework club. Many schools and public libraries have started Homework Clubs after school to help kids get homework done. Homework clubs provide great spaces for kids to stay focused (no bedroom toys or everyday family life to distract them) and may provide more supportive adults (teachers, aides, librarians) and homework tools (supervised computer access, protractors for geometry assignments, etc.), and less distracting environments than typical afterschool programs. The best part about these programs is that they occur right after school, before your child becomes fatigued at the end of the day. They also minimize parent-child conflicts, since other adults are providing the supervision. Work with a tutoring center. If your child is struggling with homework completion, and a homework club and he or she needs more individualized help than a typical homework club or afterschool program can provide, then private tutoring or learning centers can help. They offer more flexible hours and small group or one-on-one support that can benefit kids with ADHD. They are also staffed with educational professionals who are focused on helping kids not only complete their assignments, but also truly understand and master the concepts. If youre searching your area for a center, search for one that has extensive experience working with kids who have ADHD. Fuel your childs performance. Kids need the right amount of sleep, nutrition, and physical activity to complete their work effectively this is true for all kids, but it is especially true for kids with ADHD. When any of these factors is out of balance, your childs homework will suffer. So, take a holistic approach to your childs homework time, and help him or her get the sleep, nutrition, and physical activity that he or she needs. Homework is challenging for all kids, and it is especially challenging for kids and teens with ADHD. By taking a solution-focus approach to helping your child get his or her assignments completed, you can alleviate stress for your child and your family.

Why College Students Need To Watch The State Of The Union Tonight And In The Future

Why College Students Need To Watch The State Of The Union Tonight And In The Future Photo Via: http://merjeo.com Tonight at 8 p.m. central on all major networks and cable news channels, President Obama will be delivering his final State of the Union address to Republican-controlled congress an electorate that looks forward to replacing him in the coming election. While for younger audiences, the State of the Union can be a very drawn out, bland speech full of nothing but empty promises for the future, tonight’s address is promised to be different. According to a White House preview of the speech, we will be listening to more of a reflection on the past few years, what was done right and what voters can expect to look for in the coming election. In many ways, the Address will be an explanation of what has been promised, and what has in turn been delivered. The speech will touch upon health care, same-sex marriage, environmental policy, war, economic recovery and the improved job numbers. Of course, the speech will also touch upon gun violence, an issue the President has taken a personal interest in. For emphasis, a seat in the House gallery will be left unused, symbolizing the victims of gun violence in the U.S. But perhaps the most useful aspect of tonight’s State of the Union is the election implications. The speech will deliver a Democratic agenda, most likely alluding to a future in which Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, is running the country. According to the White House press secretary, “The president’s main focus will be on the opportunities and challenges that are facing the country not just in the year ahead, but what’s critical are the kinds of decisions that we make now will have a significant impact on not just the next generation of Americans but future generations of Americans.” Which leads me to my point: why should college students watch? To many, this State of the Union will be nothing more than an iteration of the Democratic agenda and a defense of decisions made in the past seven years. While this is mostly true, there’s also much more to this speech than meets the eye. For one thing, most college students are the proper voting age, yet most of the student population won’t register to vote. One of the reasons for this lack of interest is largely a misunderstanding. Many students aren’t familiar with politics. They are either bored by them or just don’t care to learn. There won’t be a better opportunity to learn than tonight. A wide array of topics will be covered, demonstrating the topics typically up for debate come time for elections. Plus, this is a great opportunity for students to form their own opinions. The internet is ridden with anti-Obama quotes and comparisons between he and George W. Bush, which can effect impressionable minds. In tonight’s speech, students will hear exactly what was proposed and exactly what was done. Another, and perhaps one of the biggest reasons to watch tonight’s Address, is because of the party lines. While most students will identify with their parents’ respective parties, it’s important for them to choose for themselves, especially when it comes to their own interests. Republicans and Democrats can have very different viewpoints on education, which may or may not sway a student from their parents’ party to their own. Also, I urge Republicans to watch the debate, not only to critique Obama and dwell on the negatives, but to be open to the possibility that some positive outcomes were the result of Obama’s terms in office. The truth of the matter is: it’s done. He already did it. A majority elected him. We as a country, chose him to lead us. Bashing his presidency does nothing productive. Tonight is an opportunity to view the other side, to make evidenced judgments and to understand where there’s room for improvement in the coming election. Sure, many will view the Address as Democratic propaganda. But for those that want to start this year out positive that want to separate the good from the bad and make the necessary changes in the coming election the State of the Union is going to be a great place to do so. So make time tonight, educate yourself and go into this next election well aware of the issues at hand. Know what you personally want to see changed. Make an educated election decision. No matter what party you choose, that choice is yours alone. Take the opportunity to not only make a choice, but to make an informed choice.
