My name is Melissa and I have been tutoring K-college students over 15 years: reading, writing, Language Arts up through the college level, and math through 9th grade. I also earned an MA in Literature and Writing Studies and taught two freshmen composition classes at Cal State University-San Marcos. My daughter is currently in elementary school, so I am empathetic to what students have been facing this year. I have experience with online resources and tools to facilitate and optimize virtual learning. I am comfortable working with current school curriculum or creating my own to supplement school work or a combination of both. In my spare time, you can usually find us at Safari Park (we have been long-term members!), or out walking on the beach. Looking forward to meeting and working with you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1598480914802-6T3243LESJ9Z25CFW66N/April+%26+Callie.jpg Blog - Our Roots are growing! - April April Leavenworth is an educational therapist with 10 years of experience in education.

Make it colorful and fun! Model this for your child to help them then map their week out. Color code classes, activities, breaks, and fun activities so that it is eye-catching and visual appealing to refer to on a daily basis! Incorporate things like your typical wake up time, school starting, different class times, hours to get your homework done, and mostly importantly breaks whether they are for food, movement, transitions or just some much needed relaxation! Outlining your daily routine together will help your child know what is expected of them during the day. They have a place to refer when they have some “unstructured time” and know when they should be doing homework or when they can do an activity of their choice so that you have some freedom to get your work done They can also easily see the upcoming days and what will be ahead. This will help with prioritizing when it comes time for them to do their homework. This beautiful acrylic weekly schedule is from Etsy!! Go heck it out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1603827151771-JD0SD8KNRS4FYSPL6H5C/pexels-julia-m-cameron-4144101.jpg Blog - How to NOT feel like your child’s assistant? Tip #1 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/how-to-not-feel-like-your-childs-assistantnbsptip-2 monthly 0.5 2020-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1603743163251-PO48DTDTXV3DJHGD7O5V/pexels-bich-tran-760710+%281%29.jpg Blog - How to NOT feel like your child’s assistant? Tip #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1603745649082-4HROWTURJG3YRKTHEXYX/Screen+Shot+2020-10-26+at+1.47.02+PM.png Blog - How to NOT feel like your child’s assistant? Tip #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1603753093785-CZRCBHWKG2QM1M94KCUG/Screen+Shot+2020-10-26+at+1.42.37+PM.png Blog - How to NOT feel like your child’s assistant? Tip #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1603741822263-D3I48SPOVDCL6UPXR0WL/pexels-gustavo-fring-3874172.jpg Blog - How to NOT feel like your child’s assistant? Tip #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1603750081143-YKUP5EJ7J5DX0YQFYT77/months%2Bof%2Bthe%2Byear.jpg Blog - How to NOT feel like your child’s assistant? Tip #2 click here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1603753941943-3W3R93EAA53PC6LDRVON/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-10-26%2Bat%2B4.02.21%2BPM.jpg Blog - How to NOT feel like your child’s assistant? Tip #2 click here! https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/how-to-not-feel-like-your-childs-assistantnbsptip-3 monthly 0.5 2020-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1603822553106-9O2AV1YCCP4STNLY69EQ/pexels-moose-photos-1037993.jpg Blog - How to NOT feel like your child’s assistant? Tip #3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1603755102148-E1ACX3ZXJZ47BLTPSZ1U/pexels-gustavo-fring-3874109.jpg Blog - How to NOT feel like your child’s assistant? Tip #3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1603823196337-LC8MLJHG2O538JVR377Y/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-10-27%2Bat%2B11.25.13%2BAM.jpg Blog - How to NOT feel like your child’s assistant? Tip #3 - So how Do We build skills and keep track of time? Use things that your child is aware of like, “Mom will be back in 30 minutes that is as long as one x show ” Keep a clock visible in a common space in your home like a wall clock or wearing a watch to get a feel for time Analog clocks are necessary for building time management as they allow us to “see” time in its relative fractions Talk your planning outside so your child can see backwards planning modeled. Whether it is making dinner, running errands, or getting from A to B, think about how much time is needed to get ready and talk it out accordingly. Think - how much time will this task take me? Then - when should I start to make sure I’m done on time? Set reminders or alarms to make sure you stick to your plan Model using a calendar with advance notifications OR use a visual calendar so your plans are right in front of you, and help set this up for your child Items to check out: The time timer app on your phone, purchase a physical one click here, or even this cool whiteboard with timer! For young teens (and your self) a really awesome alarm clock to use is the Philips sunrise alarm clock. It allows for a more natural way of waking up as it simulates the sunrising depending on the time you have it set for, and then you don’t have to rely on your cell phone as your wake up call! https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/our-roots-of-continuing-to-grow monthly 0.5 2021-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1629216716030-GDBMZJIKC0727287TTBT/20210424_205212.jpg Blog - Our Roots are continuing to grow (in many ways)! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/category/Growth+Mindset monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/category/Nutrition monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/category/Family monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/category/Back+to+School monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/tag/back+to+school monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/tag/nutrition monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/tag/wellness monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/tag/immune+system monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/tag/back monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/tag/Family monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/tag/immunity monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/tag/family monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/blog/tag/growth+mindest monthly 0.5 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/service daily 0.75 2020-04-06 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-08-01 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/home daily 1.0 2020-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1576269816105-NO0I1P710KZPULWLT4NA/mona-eendra-vC8wj_Kphak-unsplash.jpg Roots of Learning https://www.therootsoflearning.com/new-client-forms daily 0.75 2020-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1584391304254-YGVR87AS2KUD1ACC5T7H/image-asset.jpeg New Client Forms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1584391219943-77JZD486PMJQWLFB6A3V/image-asset.jpeg New Client Forms https://www.therootsoflearning.com/consultation-form daily 0.75 2020-05-11 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/nutrition daily 0.75 2023-06-05 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/educational-consulting daily 0.75 2020-08-24 https://www.therootsoflearning.com/educational-therapy daily 0.75 2020-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbc7fb97c5aed67e7533ddd/1596731554006-EZYOA7N0DYK031YIUI36/Deep-Teal-Square_ROL-01.jpg Educational Therapy - Parent of a 2nd grader “My child was struggling to learn to read.
