Thank you, Ms. Jamie
Any family who has had their child work with Ms. Jamie knows how lucky we are to have her on our staff. Jamie comes to us with years of teaching experience as well as experience in the field of counseling. These experiences help Jamie know how to present material to students in a way that is not only beneficial to the student but also fun.
Here’s what her students have to say:
She’s one of the goodest teachers!
She always makes everything fun.
I like how she has us make funny sentences on Jamboard.
Flexible Thinking Activities for Kids
From Understood.org
Kids use flexible thinking for learning and everyday life. It allows them to think about situations in different ways and find solutions to new problems. For some kids, this skill comes naturally. But others have trouble with flexible thinking and don’t see alternatives.
Playing games and doing activities that teach flexible thinking can help. Here are nine activities you can try at home or at school.
