THE 5 STEPS TO THE WRITING PROCESS?

Golden Rule Tutorial Services has had their first academic writing workshop session for the summer program!!  I must say the children enjoyed their first activity with Ms. Jones that encompassed a writing assessment prompt and the 5 STEPS TO THE WRITING PROCESS hands on activity!!!  How is your child's writing ability?  Do you think if they will EXCEED the writing standards of an ESSAY FOR COLLEGE/SCHOLARSHIP OR an Elementary/Middle School WRITING ASSESSMENT..? Has your child mastered the 5 STEPS TO THE WRITING PROCESS with an OUTSTANDING 5 PARAGRAPH ESSAY??
Parents please be honest with yourself when answering without any bias.....

GOLDEN RULE INTRODUCES AUTHOR, TABITHA S. JONES!!

Parents for those of you who  have not had the opportunity to meet Ms. Jones  your child is missing out one of the most influential Writers and Educators in Georgia.  We have joined forces and as a result; she has helped me to bring continued academic success to Golden Rule students in the area of reading and writing.  If you don't believe me, stop by and ask our students and please read Ms. Jones. Bio.  We look forward to seeing you this summer!!!

A Georgia native, Tabitha Jones resides in Atlanta, Georgia where she works as an educator. Her passion for writing began to blossom beginning at the age of ten, as she developed a fondness for journaling. She enjoys mentoring youth as well as delivering encouraging messages of hope while at the same time raising awareness about topics ranging from relationships to tackling issues within society. As an inspirational speaker, T.S. Jones also serves as a voice for the empowerment of women, children, and all individuals in need of encouragement.

PLACE VALUE-PHASE 3 OF 3-HOW YOU CAN ASSIST YOUR CHILD?


PHASE 3
You are in PHASE 3 if your child has successfully passed the written and verbal quiz in PHASE 2.
1.       Teach your child to pronounce ANY number with a decimal CORRECTLY.
a.        For example, 0.537 is NOT pronounced 0 POINT 537 BUT the correct pronunciation is Five-Hundred Thirty Seven Thousandths.


MRS. SANFORD’S COMMENTS:
Too often we get away from CORRECT pronunciation of numbers with decimals.  As a result, when we get older we not only forget the CORRECT pronunciation BUT we FORGET PLACE VALUE.  As a parent you can assist your child by saying ANY number with a decimal CORRECTLY; as a result, the concept will be RETAINED for the LONG –TERM!

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS...???
If not, Thank you for following Golden Rule's PLACE VALUE segment:>).

PLACE VALUE-PHASE 2 OF 3-HOW YOU CAN ASSIST YOUR CHILD?

PHASE 2
You are in PHASE 2 if your child has fully MEMORIZED their PLACE VALUE CHART!  If they have not MEMORIZED the chart, please return to PHASE 1.
1.       QUIZ your child on a 13 digit number similar to the one on the PLACE VALUE chart.  The chart should only contain the 13 digit number and they must WRITE down each PLACE VALUE.
2.       Next, Verbally Quiz your child on numbers that you make up and ask them the PLACE VALUE.

Do you have any QUESTIONS yet?  If not, Stay tuned for PHASE 3 tomorrow..........
