The top 5 benefits of art programs for children — from thetechedvocate.org by Matthew Lynch
Excerpt:
Schools across the country are removing art programs and classes. Some do so due to a lack of funding; others just don’t believe it’s an essential subject for children. Unfortunately, many schools and learning institutes don’t realize the dangers of removing art. You wouldn’t question Math or English as core subjects, but many question the importance of art.
Art nurture’s a child’s inner creativity. So, what benefits does art bring to a child?

How One Hospital Is Using An AR Bear To Calm Young Patients — from vrscout.com by Kyle Melnick
Excerpt:
Children’s Health of Orange County (CHOCK), a children’s hospital located in Orange County, California, has transformed its lovable mascot ‘Choco’ into an AR (augmented reality) experience that walks children through the steps of a standard MRI scan. The idea is that by familiarizing younger patients with the process, they’ll feel more comfortable during the actual procedure.

Homeschool math doesn’t have to be intimidating! — from raisinglifelonglearners.com by Colleen Kessler
Excerpt:
Finding The Right Math Program For Your Child
There are so many choices on the market. Some with manipulatives, some with thick workbooks, some on online learning platforms.
While it may seem overwhelming, its actually good news! You don’t have to worry about all of them – you only have to find the one that works for you!
That’s exactly what’s happened for my family this year with CTCMath.
…
CTCMath is an online program developed by a father of ten children, with twenty years teaching experience. It is a subscription math service that provides learning from Kindergarten all the way through Calculus. CTCMath specializes in providing online video tutorials that take a multi-sensory approach to learning.
The number one thing we’ve loved most about CTCMath this year is that it teaches math in short, bite sized amounts.
I LOVE the shorter lessons approach. Not only is it the best way to teach children with attention issues, but it also makes it easy for parents who struggle with math themselves!

Isaiah 53:3-4 — from biblegateway.com
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
