Children Need ...


Appreciation for all they bring into our lives
Balance somewhere between too little and too much
Commitment it’s the little things we do each day that matter
Dreams to touch the future
Empathy remember what it was like to be a child
Family and Friends everyone needs someone to love
Guidance actions speak louder than words
Healthy Habits to nurture body mind and spirit
Inspiration to explore beauty wonder and mystery
Joy sprinkle laughter and happiness daily
Kindness to learn to care for others as they are cared for
Limits set boundaries and consequences together
Mentors to give wings to their aspirations
Nature to delight in rainbows, butterflies and shooting stars
Opportunites to discover what truly makes their hearts sing
Play the “work” of childhood
Quiet Time to recharge their batteries
Responsibilities to build self-esteem and self-confidence
Security feeling safe is essential for growth
Traditions keep the family tree alive and sprout new branches
Unconditional Love for who they are, not for what they do
Values live yours and encourage them to find theirs
Words of Encouragement “you can do it, I believe in you!”
XOXOXO’s hug them and kiss them every day
You your presence more than your presents
ZZZZZZZ’s a good nights sleep

Testimonial - Syrine (12)

Svenja has been my English teacher for 3 years now. At first I didn't like English in school but with Svenja we tackled English differently. She is very patient and understanding. Her methods were interesting and I came to like English. Today I can say that thanks to her, I have excellent results and I really like English. Thank you Svenja. Syrine 5e

Outline of a kids lesson

This week I sat down with one of my trainees and we discussed how a lesson for small children should look like. She will take over a class of 3yo. Our lessons are 90 minutes long and this is what we came up with. This plan is one that she will keep for the rest of the year, just changing up the   songs, games and activities for each lesson. Cuts down planning time quite a bit. 1. Routine: Circle time: - singing hello song - asking "how are you", always adding more feelings throughout the year - weather chart - once they are a bit older, the today's day - TPR - show the children a box with a puppet inside (the puppet is scared when there is too much noise, so they have to be quiet in order for it to come out of the box. And of course, it only speaks English!) - have a conversation with the puppet and with the kids (good time to repeat old vocab and questions and get the kids talking) - repetition of old topics through old song, vocab game etc - repetition of l...

Monkey Tree Game

Great game to check the newly learned or revise old vocabulary: Show a flashcard. The kids have to tell you what they see. If it's correct, the monkey climbs up the tree (1 spot), if it's wrong, he falls down (either completely or just 1 spot - depending on how well the kids already know the words). The goal is to get the monkey to the top of the tree and eat some bananas. The kids absolutely love this game. Especially when you make funny noises while moving the monkey or let him fall down.
