At-home learning tips from a teacher: Let’s get moving!

Submitted by nlundberg on Nov 9 2020

In my experience as a classroom teacher, movement breaks throughout the day were vital in keeping children engaged and preparing them to learn. In fact, my class always started the day with morning exercises. This included everything from stretches to breathing activities to jumping jacks.

At-home learning tips from a teacher: classroom contracts

Submitted by nlundberg on Sep 12 2020

Before my time as a children’s guide at Anythink Libraries, I spent 7 years as a classroom teacher. I taught ages 2 through second grade, although most of my time was spent teaching pre-kindergarten. I received my master’s degree in Early Childhood General and Special Education, so I'm excited to share some tips for at-home learning from my teaching experience.

Book review: 'Homeschooled' by Rachel Papo

Submitted by Cari Miller on Jun 19 2019

 "As homeschooling nears mainstream recognition and technology interweaves itself into our daily lives at breakneck pace, Papo provides us a timely glimpse into the lives of those who are carving an alternative path towards preparing for the future and finding a deeper way to be connected. Through their eyes we have the opportunity to consider how big or small we want our worlds to be," Ariel Shanberg, curator and writer, eagerly comments in Homeschooled.
