That’s why Kumon doesn’t just help develop a solid foundation in math and reading. It also helps children learn how to learn. The individualized program cultivates important work and study skills necessary to succeed in today’s world. The objective of Kumon is to instill in students the skills and mindset for self- learning. Through daily practice, students increase confidence, improve con- centration and develop better study skills. It’s important to remember that a child doesn’t necessarily need to study harder or for longer hours. Instead, children just need to study smarter. Devel- oping study habits that go beyond what is done in the classroom goes a long way to ensuring academic success. Here are practical tips that will help your children study more effectively this school year.

Our Philosophy The best for you & your growing child Our goal is to maximize your children’s academic opportunities during school time, so that families can have their evenings and weekends free to enjoy being together. The Directors of Star Academy have the child’s interests in mind, and also value the interests of the parents. Our extensive school curriculum exposes the children to many different spheres of knowledge and experiential learning during the daytime -- prime time for learning. As a result, many extraneous after school activities become unnecessary. However for those still looking for additional electives, the after school program has ample offerings all under one roof. Thus, we take away the burden of shuffling schedules, circuitous driving, and no family time or weekend time to yourselves. Mission Statement The Star Academy’s primary objective is to capture a child’s natural curiosity and to develop his/her potential as a lifelong learner. Our educational goals are based on our thoughtfully planned recognition of what the parents need for their children and what children need to succeed. Our Philosophy Each child carries tremendous potential within. Our goal at Star Academy is to gently lead each child to realize their innate potential at the highest degree. We teach children to problem solve, develop their social skills, and to steer their natural curiosity toward true knowledge. We strive to accomplish this through:

Attendee Introductions All in attendance introduced themselves. b. What is the PTA and what does it do? There are two key roles for the PTA: 1.) community building and 2.) fundraising to support programming for our kids. ● Building Community: We host great events that bring us together! They are lots of fun. Examples include the Halloween party (soon!), Rhythm and Rice, movie nights. We need helping hands for committees and events -- we all need to work together to make these events successful. ● Raising money to help the school: We are operating in a context of structural inequalities of funding as schools don't get enough from the city or state. We need to raise money in order to provide the programming we want for our kids. Our fundraising priorities for this year are: ○ Fund a large budget ○ Increase direct donations from families ○ Increase corporate donations ○ Reduce event fundraising fatigue ○ Spread the organizational duties by engaging more parents We want PTA meetings to be participatory and we aim for equitable participation. People should raise their hand if they want to talk we will keep the time allocated for each agenda items in mind. c. PTA Executive Team PTA Executive Team members present introduced themselves.

  • Worship Pop Star Academy
    Worship Pop Star Academy S’il est une place convoitée dans l’église aujourd’hui, en priorité par la jeunesse, c’est bien celle de conducteur de louange. On se l’imagine confortable, s’appuyant sur nos qualités musicales, on est vu, on chante et ça n’a pas l’air d’être trop difficile. Le syndrôme “Pop-Star-Academy” aurait-il envahi nos églises ? La louange et l’adoration ont pris une place bien plus importante ces dernières années au sein de nos églises évangéliques. C’est, à la base, un mouvement positif, rendons un culte agréable au Seigneur et que nous puissions tous grandir dans cette vision. Cependant, il me semble (je peux me tromper, le débat est ouvert) qu’une dérive s’installe lentement dans nos églises. Je crois qu’il y a une force dans l’adoration, qu’en s’approchant de Dieu, le chrétien ne peut pas rester le même, que cela créé en lui un désir de sanctification et qu’il s’effectue en lui des transformations : Esaïe 6:5-7 “Alors je dis: Malheur à moi! je suis perdu, car je suis un homme dont les lèvres sont impures, j’habite au milieu d’un peuple dont les lèvres sont impures, et mes yeux ont vu le Roi, l’Éternel des armées. Mais l’un des séraphins vola vers moi, tenant à la main une pierre ardente, qu’il avait prise sur l’autel avec des pincettes. Il en toucha ma bouche, et dit: Ceci a touché tes lèvres; ton iniquité est enlevée, et ton péché est expié.” Cependant, gardons à l’esprit que c’est le culte de Dieu, on vient pour Lui rendre gloire, pour faire du bien à Dieu.

Les médias en Arabie saoudite: Luttes politiques et controverses sociales, de Star Academy au Printemps arabe Abstract Nulle part dans le monde arabe les inquiétudes au sujet du changement social et culturel n’ont été aussi passionnément discutées qu’en Arabie saoudite, où la doctrine salafiste du wahhabisme est au coeur du système, en tant que conception sacro sainte de l’authenticité enracinée dans la pureté culturelle et religieuse et la séparation entre hommes et femmes. L’avènement de la « téléréalité » au milieu des années 2000 a réactivé ces débats dans le royaume. Star Academy, notamment, populaire émission de téléréalité en langue arabe, diffusée par satellite depuis le Liban par la Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBC) depuis décembre 2003, a connu des taux d’audience record et a suscité une intense controverse en Arabie saoudite, vidant les rues des villes et animant les sermons dans les mosquées, les éditoriaux et les débats télévisés.

  • 26-27 Bulkley.Indd
    Lured by youthful demographics and petro-dollars, western media are flocking to the Middle East, reports Kate Bulkley TV prospectors eye up Arabia o you want lots of investment in new TV shows and channels and a host of media companies vying for ad dollars and audiences? Do you want an exciting Dand fast-growing youth market? Where would you go? China, India, Brazil or even Russia? Well, here’s another option – the Middle East. The Middle East is a highly complex and politically sensitive region with no fewer than 35 Arabic regional dialects. But with the rising price of oil, it is awash with petro-dollars and keen to diversify. It also has a burgeoning youth market – a quarter of its population (some 120 million people) is under 25. Little wonder that Viacom has signed a deal with the largest media group in the United Arab Emirates, Arab Media Group (AMG), to launch an Arabic version of MTV in November. MTV is not the only media story being written in the Middle East. In September Warner Bros announced a wide- ranging partnership with local real-estate developer Aldar and the Abu Dhabi Media Company that includes a $500m feature-film production fund. Meanwhile, in early October, Endemol opened a Middle East production office to build on the success of its current hits in the region: Star Academy, Fear Factor and Deal Or No Deal. So why are western TV companies so keen to establish a foothold in this most volatile of regions? “You want to be there at a time when there is a real change happening in the region,” says Mike Morley, senior executive director, commercial and creative affairs at Endemol International.

  • Please Share Your Thoughts About Programs for English Learners, Foster Youth, and Low Income Students, Both Positives Or Ideas for Growth and Improvement
    Please share your thoughts about programs for English Learners, Foster youth, and low income students, both positives or ideas for growth and improvement. Please continue with specialized coordinators. no comment Appreciates the free lunches and would like tutoring for the foster student. Yes, and no. He does not have students that require these services. None at this time. District employee. I think kinder and first grade students should not have WIN time because all of the students are learning language and they all need to learn the same things. Much more time needs to be spent on vocabulary through hands on projects and writing activities. The groups are too big and the range of abilities are too wide and their is not enough time for effective instruction. We've been doing the WIN time for awhile now, and I really have not seen improvement for EL students due to WIN. The best EL progress comes from the classroom teacher and the reading specialist who works in small groups with students. It would be far more effective for EL students to meet in small groups with a person dedicated to that purpose and group the students by reading/writing ability. I believe that this is a good thing i have no ideas as of ;right now on how to improve these programs help is there if one chooses to use it. My student is none of the above but I support these kinds of programs and I'm very glad to hear that NUSD has them, especially the support for PSAT and ACT.
