The Seeds of Learning
Students have a lot to say about our programs! Below are some of their
thoughts and some commentary from their teacher.
Adora,
5 years old: "I
think the school is fun because I learn a lot things here. I like
other students because they are fun to play with and they are nice.
I think it's different because it's not like my other school. I like
my teacher because she is nice and she teaches us a lot of stuff."
Teacher's Note: Adora is
a highly intelligent and articulate student who began attending Seeds
of Learning two years ago. Despite Adora's excellent speaking and
writing skills, she has been challenged by math and handwriting. During
Adora's time at the school, she has been working to improve these
skills through fun exercises, games, and one-on-one instruction from
the teacher. Today, Adora's handwriting and math skills have improved
ten-fold, and she is excelling in the Seeds of Learning Spanish and
Music programs.
Adrianna,
7 years old: "I like that we learn a lot and I like
all the things we learned. It's better than my other school because
my art teacher doesn't explain about things very much. I like my teacher
because she teaches us a lot of things. She is also fun to play with.
She tells details so we understand more."
Teacher's Note: Adrianna
is a wonderful student who enjoys learning and excels in Foreign Languages,
Art, Math, and Music. She is advanced in her studies and has done
very well with the personalized attention and challenges the instructors
at Seeds of Learning provide. Adrianna is working to improve her creative
writing and oral presentation skills by learning about synonyms, self-expression,
brainstorming, and receiving constructive comments from other students
and our teacher. In the past two years, Adrianna's confidence and
skills have improved immensely and her studies are advancing rapidly.
Xinyi,
8 years old: "I like this school better than my other
school because we get to learn more and do more stuff. It is different
because the children are nicer here than my other school. I like my
teacher here. She is nice. We get to do algebra here."
Teacher's Note: Xinyi is
a very kind student who loves to read and attends the Seeds of Learning
After School Program. She often needs some extra help or explanations
on her homework and is thriving with the individual attention she
receives from our teacher. Our instructor has been encouraging Xinyi
to think independently by asking her questions that lead her to correct
answers. Today, Xinyi is doing great and continues to improve her
critical thinking and study skills.
Ari,
9 years old.
Teacher's
Note: Ari
is an imaginative and enthusiastic student who is working to improve
her confidence, handwriting, learning, and social skills in the Seeds
of Learning After School Program. To help Ari with her difficulties,
our teacher has taught her techniques such as writing correctly, reading
directions thoroughly twice, and resolving conflicts effectively.
With the structured environment, personalized attention, supplemental
learning activities, and praise at Seeds of Learning, Ari has greatly
improved her academic and social skills.
Annabelle,
9 years old.
Teacher's
Note: Annabelle
is a great student who attends the Seeds of Learning After School
Program. When Annabelle started the program, she was challenged by
speaking and writing English, which was effecting her studies and
social interaction. Our teacher has been working one-on-one with Annabelle
to improve her English by encouraging her to read aloud, learn spelling
rules, expand her vocabulary through lessons and creative writing,
and boosting her self-confidence with a lot of praise. Today, Annabelle's
speaking and writing have improved significantly and she enjoys playing
with other Seeds of Learning students in a welcoming and supportive
environment.
