10 Ways to keep children motivated.



Kids love it and parents dread it…the last day of school.  How do you keep your children from checking out prior to the last school bell?

Keep them motivated by channeling that end of year excitement and energy into constructive learning.

1)    Learning tables that highlight different projects and tasks help children focus on one project at a time and rotate to another learning table once the task is complete.

2)    Class scrapbooking allows children to create their own special page that showcases what they learned by writing a school letter and using their creativity to design visual pieces that describe the school year.

3)    Cooperative learning encourages discussions, interaction and involvement among children.  Have each child write down an idea and begin brainstorming thoughts on each topic.

4)    Reading aloud with your child and taking turns throughout the story increases engagement and allows the child to hear a fluent reader with expression.

5)    Friday Fun Day.  Read about a famous place or American icon and visit the historical landmark to learn more about the place.
