“*Dr. Kenneth Zike has said that at least 50% of the children with learning problems referred to the neurological clinic at his hospital had had no traumas, no birth injuries, and no other physical deviations. Their trouble seemed to come from pressure - pressure to do a task that they did not have the maturity to do.”

~Borrowed from Robert Jackson on the world wide web.

Non Fiction Writing

This afternoon we worked on finding information and facts on space related topics in non fiction books. The children are going to work in groups and create non fiction books of their own based on found information. It has been a great opportunity to help the children understand what staying on topic means, the difference between fact and opinion, correct sentence structure and grammar, and teamwork. Here they were just getting started.
