“MY CHARACTER IN ACTION!”

A LIFELONG JOURNEY

 

The best education gets to the depth of who we are as we are learning all along the way. This points to a key – a cornerstone of lifelong learning: to strengthen these foundations of character growth and integrity in each of us, regardless of age or position. Though the foundation of a building may not be visible, this foundation of character can clearly be seen. It is a pillar of strength – of PURPOSE that inspires and energizes us to focus and give our BEST effort each day. Can you imagine the value of such growth in your educational community?

“MY CHARACTER IN ACTION!” (MCA) builds this lifelong strength of character and supports English literacy in an engaging, arts-based way. It is ACTIVE LEARNING which promotes social interaction and teamwork as it builds brain power, physical strength, and coordination. The Rondo Music Method makes learning fun and easy to remember – motivating ACTIONS that develop the good habits of life.

MCA Video Training begins with these personal qualities in action:
“I Am Responsible.” “I Am Growing.” “I Guard the Gates.” “I Respect Myself and Others.”
“With Courage, I Persevere!”

Videos in four chapters show progressive character growth. Personal and Interpersonal Skills mature through character-building Cooperative Play to become highly valued character traits in the Workplace – keys to personal and professional success!

This learning approach is so interactive and helps to build skills that are valuable in any setting… with young children to senior adults!

Here are some thoughts on ways “MY CHARACTER IN ACTION!” may be used to inspire and motivate character growth throughout the community:

1. Schools: Early Intervention; K-12, MCA Video Training and Participation in Regular Classes, PE, ESOL, SPED, EIP, and Mentoring
2. After School Programs: Boys/Girls Club, Sports/Cheer, Summer School/Camps
3. Adult Literacy Programs: English Language Learners
4. Employee Training: Retail, Food Service, Child Care, Health Care, Office, Hotel
5. College and Career: Personal Growth, Professional Development and Leadership Training
6. Rehabilitation Training: Medical, Alcohol and Drug, Individual and Family Recovery Programs
7. Senior Education: Community Enrichment Programs, Senior Centers, Senior Living Facilities including Assisted Living to Nursing Home and Memory Care

Just think… the GOOD that you and I freely give … acts like a “boomerang of blessing” that’s sent to others… yet returns to touch our hearts as well.

This is… “CHARACTER IN ACTION!”…

As you embrace OPPORTUNITIES to reach out and share,
the GOOD you give can make a lasting difference in someone’s life, … becoming an important part of their story.

Then, … BOOMERANG! … The blessing returns,
energizing your life with more JOY and great PURPOSE…

you grow and MOVE FORWARD as well,…

and… your story continues …

Meet a homeschool teaching program like no other! Whether we are parents or teachers, how can we best help children in a homeschool setting learn key skills they need for literacy and basic math? Judy Bowers has developed a series of learning support resources that inject a lot of fun and play into absorbing those fundamentals. Rondo Fun Time! uses poetry, marching, dancing and sign language in lessons for pre-school through grade-school children. Kids naturally love to learn with these activities that engage repetition, rhythm, and rhyme!

Actually, we adults are far more familiar with those “rhythm, rhyme, and repetition” elements of core learning than we might think at first. Ask how to spell “Mississippi,” and how many of us will automatically go “MiSs-Iss-Ipp-I”? Ask to recite the children’s rhyme about Mary and her pet, and we “know” the regular rhythm of English goes like this: MAry HAD a LITtle LAMB … Or start off this folk song: “She’ll be comin’ ’round the mountain ….” and ask people to sing the next few lines.

We may not know or remember relevant technical terms like prosody, or iambic tetrameter, or assonance, or ostinato — but we’re intuitively aware of them. In fact, we use them every single day in our communications. So, why shouldn’t we teach kids to learn the most, in ways that they learn best?

What if we passed on the cornerstones of everyday skills that kids need for life by intentionally using the fun tools of rhythm, rhyme, and repetition? That’s the inspiration behind Rondo Fun Time! Each volume presents carefully scripted “learning moments” that combine not just rhythm, rhyme, and repetition, but three modalities of learning that are core to helping us remember: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Each learning moment draws from the activity set of reciting simple poems, clapping in time, singing, dancing, and sign language. So, each simultaneously engages what kids see, what they hear, and ways they feel movement. All of these elements together make core learning moments more memorable!

We invite you to watch our video, and give this a try – see how rhythm, rhyme, and repetition create a great pathway for Foundations In Wisdom!

How does Rondo Fun Time! affect performance? Pre- and post-evaluation research is underway. Use Rondo Fun Time! in your parenting or teaching… and watch what a difference this integrated approach makes!

Unlike any other homeschool teaching program you’ve seen before!
