For parents/tutors and kids who want to get better everyday: Making Spelling fun!

Hello!!

I found this on the Internet and I thought it might be helpful for you. I know studying Spelling might be a little boring sometimes. So this kind person, Caitlin Hynst, decided to share some ways in which you can remember how to spell your words right- and the best news: you won't need to write in some!!



This list includes activities for all kinds of learners: visual, auditive, kinesthetical (movement) and even one that includes smell!!! 

I would love you to try them all and find the one that suits you or your kid better!! My personal favorite is the Scratch n' Sniff one!

I hope this helps!

Kind greetings, 

Ori


Fun fact Mondays

Hello again!!!

It's been a while since we've started to make every Monday better with a fun fact Monday. But lately you've started to forget to search for new fun facts!!



A fun fact is something curious or interesting that not everyone knows. For example:



So far, the best fun fact givers have been:

  • David Goncalves
  • Sebastián Paredes
  • Mariana Rodríguez
  • Ricardo Vargas
  • Rodrigo Quiñones
  • María Corina Alcántara
  • Santiago Mantilla
Remember to look for new fun facts to share every Monday, so you can be in this list!!

Laters,
Ori
