The After-School Program resumes after the Spring Break

The program is back in session. We are studying Slavery this month. Slavery, not only in literal terms, but also in abstract terms. What are you a slave to? A computer game? Farmville? Peer Pressure? What's occupying your time and thoughts and is it controlling you? Or are you controlling it? These are questions we are asking the children to consider.

Before session begins, children do their homework.

On some occasions when books don't provide homework answers, children find them on the computer. Ask your child, "How do you get onto the internet?" or "How can you find a video of a volcano erupting?" or "How can you find a word definition?" They should be able to tell you!

Learn Fast Ready Position

This video is about the Ready position in a tennis game. I chose this video because it is similar to what I’m teaching. The different techniques of ready position are:

1.If the racket is held up front and both hands is on the same area that is the handle then it makes it easy to hit a Fore Hand or Back Hand.
2. Legs should be apart with knees bent to allow easy movement from left to right or right to left.
3. Eyes should always be on ball when it is served. If you are not in the ready position then the server won’t serve the ball.

So ready position is important in a game of tennis.
