Recommended: The importance of parents involvement in education

There are many varieties of summer classes in intermediate school, some are long and some are short. In our classes we decided to come up with ways to have these opportunities to teach kids about middle school or for them to have fun if their parents don’t have enough money to go on vacation, I've had that experience all I did was sit around all summer. The main to two categories that you can teach are educational or recreational, but you can't mix up the two. Program length can be long but can’t be too long so you can’t have any fun at the beach or any other fun places for example 6 weeks would be fine. Then you would have to pick the times and days of the week, I would have it 8:00 to arrive and the activities start at 8:30 am. You don’t need to worry about getting your child own food, lunch and snacks will be provided. The program time to pick them up is at 5:00 for convince to dinner. We will only be taking the maximum of 30 students, as much as a normal classroom, its a first come first served for this awesome experience.

Theatre and fine arts such as dance and music will be the first two weeks of my 10 week program. This program will provide information for middle school and high school classes. Dance is on Mondays and Wednesdays, while theatre is on Tuesdays and Thursdays and music is on Fridays. In the dance class you will first learn about the basics on dance throughout history, next you will perform a traditional dance; finally you will make your own dance. Theatre class is a class where you will learn how to read scripts and learn how to audition for a movie or a stage showing of a play. Music is a class where you can learn to play instruments in order to prepare you for middle school. You can sign up for any of them y...

  • Essay On Year Round School

    The summer vacation students on a traditional schedule receive could be very beneficial since summer gives time for the students to attend camps or other activities that would allow them to learn. The camp may not be like the learning in school, but students would be able to get a different style of education while having fun. Lynn-nore Chittom and Jeff Klassen, two authors who wrote about year-round vs. traditional schooling say, “Critics also cite year-round school as an obstacle to summer enrichment programs such as youth camps, and note that the balanced calendar model can hurt students and industries dependent on short-term summer employment” (Chittom). If students are going to school all year with only some short breaks, when would they have time to go to camp? Even if their camp is during one of their breaks, the students would have homework to complete, thus eliminating the educational effects of the camp on the student. Also, teen...

    These include small classes, challenging, rich curriculum, individualized instruction, and supportive responses to emotional and behavioral challenges. It also means ensuring a meaningful “floor” - in terms of school readiness, physical and mental health, and nutrition - on which they can stand in order to viably learn,”(2). That applies to all students, not just those in poverty. We need to pay attention to what’s good for the individuals, not just the most students. The article also mentions, “pressure on test scores has crowded out the art, music, and drama that cultivate a love of learning and that draw out a children’s unique skills,”(2). I could not agree more that homework and studying take up much of the time that could be dedicated to extracurricular activities that schools hypocritically urge students to do. As a part of many theatre programs, I can say that there is literally not enough time in a day to go to school, go to rehearsal, complete homework, eat properly, and sleep for the suggested amount of time. Even on weekends, without school, it’s nearly impossible because of the homework and studying

  • Arts in Public Schools

    2034 Words  | 5 Pages

    All around the United States, art programs are being cut out of the budget in public schools. The arts include dance, band, chorus, theatre, film, drawing, painting, photography and literary arts. Some school board members feel these art programs are not necessary and do not benefit the students in any way. Elementary, middle, and high school students are forced to quit their passion and feel that their talents are not supported by their schools. Although many are not aware, there is a strong connection between arts education and academic achievement. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts in many public schools, the art classes are first on the list to be cut. It is important that the students, parents and teachers fight for their desire to keep the arts in public schools. Art programs in public schools are essential to the development of young minds; therefore the school boards should enhance and improve the programs and should not cut funding or force a class to be discontinued.

    I thought that this game would be a perfect learning device to teach a variety of important subjects to the age groups ranging from 10-13 years old. My idea is that it would be incorporated in to a family living/economics/home economics class, most likely in a junior high setting. I think it would be best if each student had a computer of their own and worked individually. As their teacher I would pre-set other families for their “sim” or “sims” to interact with.

  • Benefits of Attending Boarding School for the Arts

    1986 Words  | 4 Pages

    The most important reason I want to go to boarding school is for the arts. Don’t get me wrong; I love my school. It is an arts magnet school, of course, and does have a partial emphasis on them, but I want to go somewhere where the whole school is focused on what I love to do most: perform. At GCHS, 70% of the students I’ve met only care about sports. It’s difficult to feel passionate about something you love when everyone just shoots it down for ‘important’ things. Of course, the administration aren’t like that, but the students are, and it’s a bit disconcerting. It’s not that I can’t get past that: of course I can. But I love theatre. It’s pretty much my life, and at the boarding school I wish to go to the most—Walnut Hill School for the Arts—it’s the life of ¼ of the students there. (The ones who don’t focus on music, visual art, or dance.) The school has, well, school, but it’s all about making you a better performer, actor, and singer. According to their website, theatre-centered students take 3 hours of acting, 3 hours of musical theatre, 2.5 hours of ‘movement for the actors’ (Also known as dance involved in musicals.), and 3 hours of production & design—a week.1 Walnut Hill’s expansive list of teachers are experts at musicals, plays, and shaping great actors, and most of their students are there because they love their craft, not because their parents—or the law—is forcing them to be, so it would probably be easier for me to focus on honing my talent rather than worrying about whether or not the other...

Within the last century, education has attempted to take a leap of faith by completely flipping the traditional school schedule and idea of summer vacation upside down. Just as with any idea, there are advantages and disadvantages as well as supporters and opponents. Each district must look at their own individual needs and evaluate the trials from schools that have gone before them to decide if year-round schooling would benefit their school.
