Listen to the DON’TS
Listen to the SHOULDN’TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON’TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me-
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

If a child can’t learn the way we teach,
maybe we should teach the way they learn.
– Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Estrada

All aspects of my teaching incorporate thinking strategies so that children can approach learning in a systematic way and become confident learners.  Developing relationships with parents and working as a team to help each child succeed is an important part of my teaching and tutoring.

Thinking Camps give children an opportunity to learn thinking strategies during the summer. We do a variety of fun hands-on science, math, and language arts activities while learning thinking strategies. By learning cognitive building blocks and tools (thinking strategies), your child will learn how to think in an efficient way. For example, your children will learn how to approach a task in an organized way, use selective attention Chartand focus on important information, use self-regulation, and have a feeling of
competence. Please see information sheet and registration form for more details.
