This is a great idea…Re-inventing Literacy Education with Words in Color. Finding new ways to help young children and even illiterate adults learn how to write and read. And this program has actually been used in home schools, classrooms and even within individual use for people that just want to learn. The English language can be very complicated for someone to learn especially if this is a second language for them. There are over 400 sound spellings in the English language so this program actually organizes them in colored groups. This way the students have that visual cue on which way letters and words sound like when they are spoken until it just becomes second nature to them and they do not need the help anymore. For a little child that is continuously frustrated with learning how to read and to write this is a great program to introduce to them. Sometimes the more traditional ways of teaching just does not work on all children. There are so many children these days that have their own special needs so the more programs out there then the more chances for success. Filed under: Schooling/Education Comments: None |

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of USC. All opinions are 100% mine. I got my masters online and have taking many courses online since I have had children. It is just the most convenient way to take the classes that I need in order to further my career. When you have children there is not a lot of time to actually go out to the schools to sit in that traditional classroom. And by taking classes online you will spend more time concentrating on your course work and less time sitting taking notes or in your car travelling to get to that school. And there is so much program information out there on the internet. I personally, have taken classes from the University of Wisconsin online program but I have read about the USC Rossier School of Ed’s MAT@USC. They have a masters of arts in teaching degree with an accelerated program that you can complete in just a year. This school has been ranked #22 in the US by the US News and World Report. They also have full student benefits as well. Taking classes online when you are a working parent is so much more convenient and just easier when you are trying to manage and juggle your full time life, career and education!

I have looked into the homeschooling curriculum for my children especially with all the talk of the swine flu vaccines being mandatory. I was ready to take my child out and homeschool her for this year. Luckily they don’t have enough so this will not be mandatory and quite frankly the Swine Flu is not as bad as they had thought. The regular seasonal flu is still worse for the majority of people. My cousin went through a homeschooling program with the curriculum online . She loved it. She did it the last 2 years of high school because for personal reasons. I have taken courses online before a the collegiate level and I personally think that they are great. You learn just as much if not more when you do a program and a course online. The Global Student Network is a great site to check out if you are thinking about homeschooling your children. The site is very well set up and you will have no problems find the information that you need. The thing about online curriculums is that you have access to it 24/7 every single day of the year. And this site has unlimited courses for grades 2 through 12. Definately something to look into!! Filed under: Schooling/Education Comments: 1 Comment |

There is just so much to do that first week of school. There are all the forms and just the worrying of thinking of your child in a new class with different kids and a different teacher. It is a little bit of a stressful time for me as the mom…but I try not to let it show because I don’t want my daughter to get anxiety…because my anxiety of things really does rub off on my kids!

I don’t know about you but waiting for that bus at the end of the day is rather stressful. the bus is usually never at the same time and it is not 2 minutes off … it is sometimes up to 10 minutes. So if you have some place to go … it can really mess up your plans. Or if it is raining or cold outside it can really be a pain that is for sure. And then is the constant worry of whehter your kids is going to remember to get on the bus!! Filed under: Schooling/Education Comments: None |
