Brain Breaks!

Fuse art and language skills to inspire confidence and reflection...
Brain breaks are a usual component when people of all ages are learning, but especially with school aged children under 12 . Fusing art and language skills during a brain break inspires the imagination to spark and the students to reflect. The imagination is a vital tool to have in the classroom; it is what gives students the confidence to complete all tasks successfully. One needs imagination to create, analyze, visualize and make connections in all contexts, not just when writing a story; it is where pivotal thought patterns flex and develop.
Sky Blue is an uplifting story written by The Tutor Guru, about a boy grieving the loss of his dog, Honeybunny. The story teaches that the ones you love live on in your heart forever. Available on Amazon- https://smile.amazon.com/SKY-BLUE-Adrian-Voss/dp/0578319675/
A publicized report from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) in 2018, identified that Metacognition was one of the most effective ways to support Learner Progress , and set parameters to help schools consider how to develop it in their learners. One of the fundamental goals of The Tutor Guru is to train the student to think more metacognitively- to have a critical awareness of one's own thinking and learning helps the student get to know the self and build strengths.
Creative Coaching assists students in cultivating their humanistic and artistic talents through the creative processes such as writing, visualizing, goal setting, affirmations, metacognition, and mindfulness. The Tutor Guru uses her own creative skills and teaching experience to inspire growth and self-empowerment in the individual with a focus on strengthening Mindset Skills through various creative techniques. Adrianna has been creating and selling her art for over 25 years.
Education is a vital part of growing up. And there are many perspectives out there. However, one perspective resonates with us all: We want our children to feel good about themselves and what they accomplish. I am here for you! Please call or email with any questions.
Spark up your child's imagination and curiosity! Keep your child's mind active through reading, writing and art during the holidays! This is a great time to bridge the gap between the fall and spring semesters. Happy Learning!
Kids benefit from reading every day; it is not something they need a break from doing. It keeps their minds intellectually stimulated while making connections to their reality. A mix of nonfiction and fiction intermingled with relaxation and fun promotes school preparedness!
