Small Things Can Make a Big Difference in a Classroom
Jennifer Gunn makes several good points in her article about Small things that make a BIG difference in the classroom. In the Article, Ms Gunn talks about several strategies that can make a Big difference. These strategies include - Welcoming Students at the Door, Personalizing Feedback, Giving Students Choices and Making Connections Outside of Class. At 4PA, we have found that because we have smaller classrooms, we are able to seamlessly integrate these into our school. Our teachers do a great job of creating a welcoming environment for all of our students. In addition, we are able to provide continuous feedback on student performance and behavior.
The importance of making a personal connection with students cannot be overstated. That personal connection helps the student be more motivated to excel. When students are motivated, the results can be seen in their work product!
We have also found that our small class sizes allow for even more hand-on and experiential learning opportunities. See below for pictures of our students in action!

Encouraging Kid Entrepreneurs - Children's Biz Fair
A key focus of our program is to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit in our students. As we prepare for our 2nd Annual Children's Business Fair on April 27th, we continue to be amazed by the ideas that kids can come up with as ideas for their business. We also love finding stories of kids that have successfully launched their own business as it serves as an inspiration to students. Kids have the capability to do Big things. They just need to be encouraged and be in an environment that promotes growth and builds them up! Read this article on 12 Adorable Kid Entrepreneurs
If you have a child that is interested in showcasing their product, then they can still register for our fair, as we have booths available. Also, spread the word and come out and support all the kids!
