Every day when children go home to school they always bring home works. The amount of time that spent when the children spent their time varies from minutes to hours. Sometimes, the children do their home works not only in their tables but dining tables. When the parents see their children make a pile of homework until the midnight, they always question the benefits of the homework. Some researchers even find that it is not the school’s obligation. Many evidences are found that there is no improvement when the children do their homework. In fact there is proof that the homework can make the student’s interest in study gone. Some schools even banning homework.

Mary Jane Cera, the academic instructor of Kino Academy a private nonprofit school from kindergarten to 12th grade which keep no homework for all grades, said that it is for keeping the student joy of studying. The school itself prioritizes the creativity of the students and social. The proponents of homework believe that homework teaches self discipline and time management. However, this is often challenged by the idea that if they don’t have a natter with homework they could lose their sense of autonomy. In Kino academy, Mary Jane said despite the students never had homework, they often take their own favorite activities such as music experiment, and writing. One of the reasons why we maintain homework is a later test of PISA that said America placed 25th in math and 21st in science. However, again, this idea is attacked by comparative tests of students in Japan, China, and 2 cities in America that there is a connection in homework and academic achievement. (more…)

Autism is a rare case of mental problem that happens to children. It is a case where the children have their own world and does not have the empathy and interest in the real world. This means, they tend to shut themselves completely from their community and only want to accept what they want to believe. This makes children who suffered from autism has a major problem in socializing with the other children. However, it does not mean that children who suffered from autism have low intelligence. On the other hand, children with autism spectrum disorder tend to show an amazing degree of intelligence and creativity. The real downside of children with autism is just their lack of empathy and interest of the world beside their own imagination and favorite activity.

For children who suffer from autism spectrum disorder we need to give them more extra attention and love. To make them take more interest in their environment craft activity is a good option to do. By doing craft activities with them, it will improve their attention or sensory experiences, make them explore shape and color and of course give them fun and happy activity. There are many craft activities for children with autism problem for examples Paint with ice, Make number rubbings, sculpt clay snowflakes and many more. (more…)

.

On the other hand when they are given new playing activities they do not know they will have serious difficulty to play it. This has happened because children suffered with this syndrome cannot think abstract and imaginatively which means they can only play something they already familiar and memorized. (more…)

 Third Grade Student: What to Understand?

22 May 2013

By David - Categories: Grader School Add a comment

For students of third grade, they still have some tasks ranging from reading to writing. They also still deals with math as that of first and second grade. The difference is, degree of difficulty is escalating. This condition needs students of third grade to do their utmost in order to gain determined goal; mastering every subject in the academic year. Third grade student no longer learn to read but read to learn as he starts understanding what is being read. Of course reading material is still about something simple that is within age of third grade students.

Based on research, teachers still guide students of third grade on reading but they often give responsibility for students to work independently. The reason for this is obvious that third grade must be able to start doing anything on the study with lack of control. Homework students of third grade get from their teacher is also a bit difficult. This stimulates hard effort in order that they can learn better on specific topic. If you have child in third grade, then it will be better to know the curriculum. You of course can get relevant info of this thing from Department of Education website. (more…)

We need to make them enter kindergarten in the appropriate age because when a child is entering kindergarten too early it can give them additional pressure that are not supposed to be taken at their age.

To give satisfaction for the curios children there are some activity that can be done before they enter kindergarten and one of it are sight words practice.

 How to Teach Your Children About Hygiene

22 May 2013

By David - Categories: Education Advices and Tips, Preschool Add a comment

It is by no means easy to teach your children about hygiene. However, you can make your loved ones hygiene conscious with proper method and consistency. To start emphasizing hygiene, you can do something simple by asking your children to take bath, wash hand before eating foods, comb their hair before school, wash their feet before bedtime and do other things. Is that all enough to make your children conscious of hygiene? The answer is not. You need more than this as being consistent is what you have dealt with next. In other words, just ask your children to keep schedules on doing something related to hygiene.

As a matter of fact, children are a duplicator. This statement is absolutely right as they will do what they are used to see from their parents. So, teaching your child’s consciousness of hygiene takes you to give good samples. You, for example, have to regularly brush your teeth and do this in front of your children. This matter looks simple, but is often ignored by parents. They just dominate children by asking them to do what parents want without ever giving good samples. (more…)
