<html><head></head><body><p>When 12-year-old Shruti asked her parents if she could learn a new language the response was a resounding no. The reason for the refusal was that it might eat away time spent on essential subjects. But did you know that children who know more than one language are more flexible, creative, and have better problem-solving skills? Studies have also found that multilingual kids score better on tests than kids who know only one language. As a matter of fact, it is usually more comfortable for a preadolescent brain to learn new pronunciations and sounds as compared to adults.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With this pandemic forcing all of our little ones to stay at home, they can use this time productively and learn a new language. The internet is a treasure trove of information, and most of our kids are always hooked onto some screen. Hence it is the perfect place for them to learn a new language. Some resources can also create such a home immersion system that even parents learn the language along with the child.&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="whyshouldkidsuseappstolearnanewlanguage">Why Should Kids Use Apps to Learn a New Language?</h2>
<p><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/learn-a-new-language.jpg" alt="Learn a New Language" width="912" height="484"></p>
<p>Apart from the fact that we are in the middle of a pandemic and going to physical classes is not advisable, these apps are designed for kids. As kids learn and develop faster than adults, they can learn a new language effortlessly.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Introducing your child to a new language now can mean that they will be completely fluent in no time, and that is setting them up for success in the future.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Language learning <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/parent-resources/study-tips/study-apps">apps </a>designed for kids are usually fun to use. They keep the child engaged and are visually stimulating for them. With various games and activities, the child will learn a new language without spending hours reading through textbooks.&nbsp;</p>
<p>These apps are usually designed to be interactive. An interactive lesson is far more effective and holds the child’s attention far longer than any other learning technique. The child is prompted to respond to questions and thus memorize the concepts and words faster.&nbsp;</p>
<p>While the closest we got to learn Spanish for free in our childhood was watching episodes of Dora, the explorer on nickelodeon. Today several free apps can help your child learn a language with ease.</p>
<h2 id="bestappstolearnanewlanguage">Best Apps to Learn a New Language&nbsp;</h2>
<h3>Duolingo&nbsp;</h3>
<p><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/duolingo.jpg" alt="duolingo" width="912" height="484"></p>
<p>One of the most commonly used apps today to learn a new language, Duolingo, helps children learn multiple languages within one app. They can learn French, Spanish, Russian, and even Vietnamese, all from the comfort of their homes. This is one of the best language learning apps as the child earns rewards in the form of points for every correct answer. They also have to race against the clock to level up, making them push harder to achieve the set goals. The lessons here are broken down into smaller bite-sized pieces that effectively impart the lesson. Parents can download Duolingo from both Google play store as well as iTunes App Store.</p>
<h3>Little Pim&nbsp;</h3>
<p>This app uses a series of language learning videos that focus on teaching the child the basics of a language. The series is made up of a collection of apps that help track the child’s progress along the program while reinforcing and supporting what was previously taught. Like Duolingo, this app is also available on both iTunes Apps Store and Google Play Store.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Rosetta Stone: Learn and Speak New Languages&nbsp;</h3>
<p>With this app, a child can practice early reading skills in English while they learn the basics of Spanish. The game helps the child learn a variety of skills such as the sound of letters, understanding the difference between upper and lower case letters, as well as Spanish pronunciations and vocabulary. It is an excellent app for children who are in preschool or their early years in school. This is also considered to be the best app to learn Spanish.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Endless Spanish App</h3>
<p><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/book-(1).jpg" alt="Book" width="912" height="484"></p>
<p>This app is especially useful for kids who enjoy solving puzzles. They can use this app to learn and engage at the same time. This app uses the help of Endless Monsters that assists in navigating through common words in Spanish using interactive puzzles. You can get the Spanish immersion as well as an English translation while using this app. While it was previously only available on iTunes App Store, this app can now also be found on Google Play Store.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Learn Chinese – ChineseSkill</h3>
<p>Mandarin is one of the most commonly spoken language all over the world. This app is a Mandarine Chinese learning app that uses games to pack in all the required information. Not only does it help you by providing phrases and words, it also helps the child understand the basic concepts of grammar and sentence patterns. This ability is essential if the child is expected to navigate through a difficult language like Mandarin.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Babbel&nbsp;</h3>
<p>This app offers many European language courses like French, Spanish, German, Turkish, and Dutch, to name a few. With just 10 to 15 minute sessions a day that can be redone as many times as needed, this is a learn a new language app that can really help children learn better. Another significant part of this app is that it allows the child to learn a language based on their interests. If you ever go on a European tour, they can blend in seamlessly with the locals.</p>
<h3>Fluent Forever</h3>
<p><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/fluent-language.jpg" alt="fluent language" width="912" height="484"></p>
<p>Like Babble, this is another app that takes the scientific approach to teach language. It uses flashcards to teach Pronunciation, Grammar, and Vocabulary. They also help children learn a new language better by practicing with native speakers.</p>
<h3>LingoDeer</h3>
<p>Those parents who are thinking about giving their kids an edge business-wise or if they plan on having their kids study far east or southeast Asia, then this is the app for you. With this app’s help, your child will learn languages like Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese with ease. There are also some other languages that a child can learn if they are interested. Although it isn’t a free app, it will cost less than Rs 100 a month, which is not an alarming amount to invest in your child’s future.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Encouraging your child to learn a new language will not only help them in the future, but it will keep them occupied during this difficult time.</p></body></html>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hi there!</p>
<p>We can&rsquo;t deny &ldquo;Art and Crafts for kids&rdquo; are something that can make your kids go on their knees.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s say your daughter is having a blast finger-painting with a mixture of bright colors. You ask her, &ldquo;What are you making?&rdquo; She looks at you and shrugs. Gosh! Until you mentioned it, she hadn&rsquo;t given it any thought. You see, little kids are masters of the moment&mdash;they love the way it feels when they smear paint on paper.</p>
<p>But how many of you give the same importance to the <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/parent-resources/career-guidance/art-careers">arts</a> and crafts for kids compared to a class as the science and math classes? Well, most of us don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s important either. This is why it is always the games or the arts and crafts for kids that gets taken away for extra classes and revisions.&nbsp;</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><iframe title="Why Art matters at an early age | Importance of Art |  ORCHIDS School" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QFFk3vMOGeM?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></div>
<figcaption>Why art and crafts for kids matters at an early age</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>No wonder! Kids love to smear on paints, do arts and crafts, and it&rsquo;s important for them to practice it both at school as well as at home. And for children aged 3 &ndash; 8, experts say it is &ldquo;<em>the most important&rdquo;</em> way to help them &ldquo;grow&rdquo; and &ldquo;develop.&rdquo; And fortunately, that&rsquo;s why I have recently seen school teachers do so much of it at kindergarten and primary schools these days.</p>
<p>As a drawing teacher and mother, I personally vouch for the benefits as I started doing arts and crafts for kids. I did it with my daughter Aisha right from her terrible twos. But did you know that arts and crafts for kids are essential for overall development? Yes, that&rsquo;s true. Stop and scroll below to know the six most important reasons that <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/parent-resources/skill-development/motor-skills-activities">arts and crafts</a> for kids provides.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="Importance">Six Importance of Art and Crafts for Kids</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>It Improves Their Coordination and Fine Motor Skills</h3>
<p>Arts and crafts for kids usually require them to use both hands, which in return will help them develop fine motor skills and coordination. From drawing dots and lines, and cutting with scissors, to even simply tearing a piece of paper are all quite demanding tasks in terms of dexterity. And guess what? Kids enjoy them to the fullest. Arts and crafts for kids help them develop faster and become more skilled in other activities such as tying their shoes, dressing, and many more.</p>
<h3>Arts and crafts for kids improve their vocabulary</h3>
<p>Arts and crafts for kids allow them to expand their essential vocabulary. Through these activities, they will learn the names of different shapes and sizes and become aware of different patterns, shades of colors, and figures. Thus, we all need to encourage our champs to participate in activities such as reading together, playing word games, etc., to achieve success in reading comprehension and related word recognition skills.</p>
<h3>Arts and crafts help them express their viewpoints.</h3>
<p>Children are very visual about everything that happens around them and tend to absorb what they see and learn every day. However, some kids are in-born shy and not that comfortable with expressing themselves in words. They may look for different, more visual aspects to express their emotions and thoughts. And what else is better than arts and crafts? Arts and crafts for kids are the safest environments where they can shape in any way they want by using any materials they like. This is exactly where dear parents, you will be getting a better insight into how your kid would be feeling or what they would be thinking by encouraging them to participate in arts and crafts activities.</p>
<h3>Craft for kids brings out their creativity and productivity all at the same time.</h3>
<p>There are no limits to a little one&rsquo;s imagination. And trust me, arts and crafts for kids are a great way for them to turn that endless imagination into something more productive and creative. Be it materials, colors, shapes, or activities, children can choose just anything they like. This allows them to explore different options and pick the most enjoyable activity as per their interest. This way, they might even discover a fun hobby, like drawing, that can later become a lucrative career, like graphic designing.</p>
<h3>Art and craft for kids encourage neural connections.</h3>
<p>Art is an activity that can employ all the senses&ndash;&ndash;sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste&ndash;&ndash;depending on the activity. Children&rsquo;s brain synapses fire away as they experiment and create by squishing paint between their fingers, mixing colors &amp; materials, or drawing from imagination or what they see in front of them.</p>
<h3>Crafting helps them socialize a lot.</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Arts and crafts for kids create a common ground for all the juniors who certainly have different interests or simply haven&rsquo;t met yet. Most of them love creating things with their hands&mdash;and see what other kids have created. When it comes to creativity, it doesn&rsquo;t matter how old they are. The only thing that matters is what they can make out of the crafts. Guess what? Since children are naturally curious, they will approach another one to see what the other has drawn by all means with great interest.</p>
<h2 id="Conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>There are countless benefits of art and crafts for kids. Whether it&rsquo;s painting, drawing, sewing, or music, art and crafts play an important role in our kids&rsquo; lives. So dear parents, please make sure that your children have access to the arts, both in and out of school. You never know; it might be the path to a career later in life. Even if it isn&rsquo;t, it will ensure our kids grow up well-rounded.</p>
<p>Who knows, your child might be the next Picasso?</p>
<p>Stay healthy and keep crafting!</p>

This is more so in football because students learn to have persistence in the event of adversity, have patience and hit the goal at the right time, practice hard to win the game or perish if one cannot perform. &nbsp;They learn that by never giving up, they are more likely to achieve their goals. These are important life lessons and skills that students learn and these help them succeed both professionally and personally.</p>

Rainy Day Activities for Kids to Enjoy

<p>In the realm of education, the focus on catering to diverse learning needs extends beyond addressing challenges; it also involves recognizing and nurturing exceptional abilities. Gifted and talented students possess unique cognitive, creative, or artistic talents that set them apart from their peers. Schools play a crucial role in identifying and providing the necessary support and enrichment to help these students fully realize their potential. By offering tailored programs, fostering a challenging learning environment, and promoting a culture of excellence, schools create an inclusive space where gifted and talented students can thrive.</p>
<p>One of the primary responsibilities of schools in supporting gifted and talented students is the identification process. Schools employ various methods, such as standardized tests, teacher recommendations, and performance assessments, to identify students with exceptional abilities. This process helps ensure that these students receive the specialized attention and resources they need to flourish. Once identified, schools create individualized education plans (IEPs) or enrichment programs that cater to the unique strengths and interests of each student. These plans may involve acceleration, compacting curriculum, or providing advanced coursework, allowing gifted students to engage in challenging and intellectually stimulating activities.</p>
