Learning: Let’s Make this Personal
September 12, 2012 By Adrienne Albregts Leave a Comment
We just launched a national video contest called the “Ideal Learning Environment Video Contest,”and we are giving $10,000 to the student, teacher, or parent (or guardian) who can — in three minutes or less — show us what his/her ideal learning environment looks like. An additional $5,000 will go to the winner’s class or nonprofit educational organization.
click to watch our video and get inspired to create your own!
Why are we launching this contest?
Because every learner is different. People learn differently because their interests are different, and their capacity to absorb and retain new knowledge varies. Similarly, each teacher is unique and brings different passions, interests, and talents to the classroom to help students unlock their potential.
In short, learning is personal.
So, that’s why we are doing this contest – to get additional insight and ideas from students, teachers, parents and others interested in transforming our educational system by creating the ideal learning environment for each and every student. We’ll share these ideas with experts and educators around the country to create a dialogue and discussion about how we as an industry can implement personalized learning solutions that make learning and career success inevitable for each and every student.
If you or your students or child are interested in submitting a video to this contest, please visit the Compass Learning Facebook page for details and rules. -
A Kindergarten Poetry Book
My Town Tutors is making a huge commitment for the 2014 – 2015 school year to be the #1 tutoring resource for parents and teachers in America. Our motto is “Teachers are great tutors!” Parents love the fact that every teacher in our directory is a teacher!
Please Share!

A great Massachusetts kindergarten teacher uses a poetry book to teach the students the months of the year and the seasons of New England (teachers from other regions can adapt the poems to fit their area).
It is a great way to introduce students to poetry.
How it works:
1. Hand out one poem at the appropriate time during the school year.
2. Read the poem to the class.
3. Allow the students time to draw a picture to illustrate the poem.
4. Collect the work and save each poem until the end of the school year.
5. At the end of the school year (when the writing is improved), have the students create a cover page. Direct the students to write the following:My
Poetry
Journal
2011 – 2012 (current school year)
6. Allow the students time to decorate the cover.
It is a great end of the year review and a great keepsake for the students and parents to reflect back on the first year of school. As we have said before, “Kindergarten teachers are amazing!”
Thanks for all you do!
September
The month is September
And school bells will ring.
We’ll meet lots of friends,
And learn many things.
Apples
Apples are so good to eat,
To have one is a special treat.
Red, green, yellow, too,
All of them good for you.
October
The month is October
With leaves falling down.
Leaves that are yellow,
Orange and brown.
November
The month is November
We’re deep into fall.
We celebrate Thanksgiving
And give thanks to all.
December
The month is December
And Christmas is near.
We greet dear old Santa
Who brings us good cheer.
January
The month is January,
All ice and snow.
We skate and we sled
With friends that we know.
Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King we know
Was a man who had a dream.
A dream of love and brotherhood.
A dream of people doing good.
Now in everything we do,
We can make his dreams come true.
February
The month is February,
Valentine’s Day his here.
We honor two presidents
At this time of year.
March
The month is March
And spring arrives.
It is very windy.
See how my kite flies.
April
The month is April
And spring is here.
The flowers will bloom
Once the skies are clear!
May
The month is May
With the sun shining bright.
The flowers are blooming,
And birds are in flight.
June
The month is June
And school will be out.
The children will soon
Be swimming about.
I hope this is useful to some of our kindergarten teachers, parents, and students! Have a great summer!

Five Fun Resources for Educating Children at Any Age
My Town Tutors is a great resource for parents & teachers. Find qualified tutors in your area today!
Guest Blog Page & Top 50 Guest Blogs of ALL-Time This post was submitted by Vera Mosely, an author who enjoys writing on the topic of early childhood education. Whether you choose to home school your child, work with them on tutoring or simply supplement the things they are already learning in schools, there are tons of great resources out there to help. This list isn’t just for soccer moms or stay at home dads, it’s for anyone who wants to help a child learn! iHomeschool Network - The nice community over at iHomeschool Network has created one of the most detailed and unique resources on the web. They put together a great list of “Ultimate Guides” that each take place on a different blog. They are chock full of information and take a detour from the usual textbook style of teaching. Don’t miss out on these amazing chances to teach a specific subject, such as Texan History or creative writing for students. Milk and Cookies Blog - Over at the Milk and Cookies Blog, Amy is doing a wonderful job at homeschooling her son. She stresses the importance of open communication and having some variance in the days so it feels less like “work” and more like learning. She also encourages her son to get out of the house and learn through classes such as Tae Kwan Do and Chess. For anyone interested in her methods she gives a great rundown of some of her favorite teaching items here. Happy Housewife - Another great resource is the Happy housewife. If you click on her homeschooling tab at the top, she offers great suggestions for activities to reward children besides candy and sweets. She also has a list of reviews for teaching materials that are commonly used by homeschooling parents and tutors. In addition to all of these things, she is always doing giveaways and offering awesome coupons on things related to education and home teaching. Scholastic - Scholastic has more than just books, they also have this great resource for teachers and it is open on the web for anyone to use. It includes printable work sheets, daily vocabulary words and helpful discussion topics with summaries for books that are available on the site. If you already know what books you are planning to use, just search in the lesson plan finder on the side and see what related topics or books might make a great accompaniment. PBS Teachers - The last great resource to share is from the all knowing PBS and their section for teachers online. They offer such a wide variety of resources; it’s hard to name them all! There are discussion topics and activity ideas for each age level broken down into easy to understand categories. There are also fun widgets on topics like biology and health to read through and share if you have a website or just to use as a simple and quick refresher. The only catch with this site is that you must sign up to access most of the content, but sign ups are open to the public so everyone has access to this knowledge. The most important thing to remember when educating any child is that they have the ability to learn anything they want, and if presented in the right way they will appreciate the teaching that much sooner. I hope you enjoy this list of resources and that the children you teach can always learn a little more.
