Get Students Interested in Learning

Use games in order to make learning more fun. You can either make up your own games or you can buy them. Just be sure they are a lot of fun and pertinent to what you are trying to teach in your classroom. Kids enjoy playing all types of games so you can be sure to keep their interest in the classroom if you play a learning game each day. Try not to make it a game where there are any winners and losers though, make it something where everyone wins so that no one will feel left out if they still just can't seem to get the material. Of course, there are some occasions when all of the educational learning tools in the world can't help a student catch on to a lesson. We have all been there, where we just don't understand something. If this is the case for you with a student, then be sure not to call attention to the fact that they are struggling. Simply talk to them to see if there is anything you can do to help them understand the material better. All it takes is to ask and then it will be clear how to help.

A word from our owner

The tragedy and evil of the event in Connecticut this past weekend haunts us all. We are rocked to our core when evil breaks out on our kids – the most vulnerable of us. We want you to know that all of us here at PureFUN! are not only keeping the victims and their loved ones in our prayers but you as well. We know you will be directly impacted by this as you interact

with, answer questions for and discuss this event with the children and parents you serve. We pray God will give you the wisdom you need during this difficult time.

Bulletin Board Sets

There is nothing wrong with just decorating the bulletin boards for the fun of it in your classroom. There are so many different options available that are just for fun. You can theme your board to go with the seasons or the holidays. If you really want to add at least one thing educational to the board going with this theme, you can include a fact about that month, season, or holiday that the students may not have known. The board will still be all about fun, but they will learn at least one thing while looking at it. Bulletin board sets should be thought of as supplemental materials in the class. You can either make it overtly educational or you can spice it up with fun while they learn a little something. It is all really up to you and how you feel your students learn the best. Just be sure to change the board up every once in a while so the students are not stuck looking at the same boring thing all year while in the classroom.
