"LIVING 808" HAS TEAMED UP
HOW LESSONS COULD BE POSITIVE
FOR DISTANCE LEARNS.
THIS WEEK "LIVING 808" IS
FOCUSING ON LEARNING AND
SPECIFICALLY RIGHT NOW WE'RE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT PRESCHOOL
AND OPPORTUNITIES TO USE A
LEARNING CENTER CONCEPT AT HOME
AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK NOW TO
FIND OUT ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS ARE
DOING.
TELL ME ABOUT THE LEARNING
CENTER CONCEPT AND WHAT YOU USE.
WE HAVE THE TERM WE USE FOR
LEARNING CENTERS AND EACH SITE
HAS FOUR STANDARDS OR LEARNING
CENTERS EACH WITH ITS OWN FOCUS.
ONE FOCUS IS PRIMARILY ON FINE
MOTOR SKILLS.
ANOTHER ON MATHEMATICAL SKILLS
AND THE FOURTH ONE ON HAWAIIAN
LANGUAGE SKILLS.
SO THROUGH THESE KEIKI ARE ABLE
TO STRENGTHEN THEIR ABILITY TO
MAKE DECISIONS, MANAGE WORK
SPACES, FULFILL CERTAIN TASKS
FROM START TO FINISH AND TO
RETURN THINGS TO THE PROPER
PLACE.
DOING ALL OF THIS INDEPENDENTLY
WHILE ALSO HONING THE FOCUS
SKILLS OF THAT SPECIFIC LEARNING
CENTER.
HOW WOULD YOU APPLY THESE
SAME CONCEPTS RIGHT NOW.
OBVIOUSLY WE'RE DOING THIS AT
HOME.
HOW COULD YOU SUGGEST SOMEONE
MIGHT BE ABLE TO INCORPORATE IT
INTO THEIR STYLE RIGHT NOW.
A FAMILY MAKING BREAKFAST AND
PERHAPS THEY NEED EIGHT EGGS.
RATHER THAN GETTING IT FROM THE
REFRIGERATOR, WE CAN ASK THE
CHILD TO GET THE EIGHT EGGS FROM
THE REFRIGERATOR AND WITHOUT
EVEN KNOWING IT, THE KEIKI IS
ENGAGING IN A FINE MOTOR SKILL
LESSON BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO -- HE
OR SHE WOULD NEED TO GRASP WITH
THEIR ENTIRE HAND TOP COLLECT
THE EGG AND TATE THEY NEED TO
COLLECT EIGHT OF THEM SO THEY
ARE INCORPORATING MATH SKILLS
INTO THAT.
THEY NEED TO KEEP TRACK OF HOW
MUCH MORE THEY HAVE AND HOW MUCH
MORE THEY NEED.
WITHOUT TELLING YOUR KEIKI TO
SIT DOWN AND LET'S DO SOME
HOMEWORK, JUST IN THE EVERY DAY
ACTIVITIES THAT THEY ARE KIND OF
MAYBE NAGGING TO GET INVOLVED
WITH ANYWAY, WE CAN USE THOSE
TIMES TO REPLACE OR TO
SUBSTITUTE FOUR LEARNING CENTER
TIMES.
ARE THERE SOME OTHER
RESOURCES AVAILABLE THAT YOU
MIGHT SUGGEST FOR PEOPLE TO FIND
INSPIRATION FOR HOW THEY CAN
CONTINUE TO INCORPORATE IN
CREATIVE WAYS LIKE THAT WHERE
THEY ARE LEARNING THE PROCESS.
THERE'S ALL OF THESE
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT CAN BE
FOUND ON-LINE, WHETHER YOU
GOOGLE CERTAIN PHRASES BUT I
WOULD SUGGEST FROM OUR FAMILIES
THAT THEY REACH OUT TO THEIR
KUMU AT THEIR SITES TO ASK WHAT
THEY ARE DOING.
ULTIMATELY IT'S JUST USING WHAT
YOU HAVE.
YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF MARBLES AND
ASSIGNMENT SPOON THEN YOU HAVE A
LESSON THERE AND YOU CAN HAVE
YOUR KID PRACTICE WHAT WE'RE
CALLING SCOOPING.
IF YOU HAVE A COMPOSITION BOOK
AND YOU HAVE A YELLOW MARKER,
YOU CAN WRITE YOUR KEIKI'S NAME
IN THE COMPOSITION BOOK AND DAY
IN, DAY OUT, THEY CAN TRACE
THEIR NAME OR HAWAIIAN
SYLLABLES.
THOSE ARE ALL LESSONS EVEN
THOUGH IT MIGHT NOT LOOK LIKE
ONE, IT MIGHT NOT FEEL LIKE ONE.
THE KEIKI ARE DOING IT WITHOUT
EVEN REALIZING THAT THEY ARE
SPECIFICALLY FOCUSING ON CERTAIN
SKILLS.
I THINK THAT'S THE BEST WAY.
IS THERE A WEBSITE THAT YOU
SUGGEST PEOPLE GO TO TO LOOK UP
WHAT THEY'VE HAD SUCCESS WITH.
THEY CAN CHECK OUT OUR
WEBSITE KHON2.COM FOR MORE
INFORMATION AND MORE KNOWLEDGE
IN THESE AREAS.
ALL RIGHT.
WE CERTAINLY COULD USE IT.
WE THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR
KNOWLEDGE WITH US IN OUR "LIVING
808."
MAHALO.
AND WE'VE BEEN FOCUSING ON
EARLY EDUCATION WITH KAMEHAMEHA
SCHOOLS ALL WEEK LONG.
YOU'LL FIND ALL THESE STORIES
POSTED ON KHON2.COM ON OUR
"LIVING 808" TAB AND REALLY
