The start of a new school year places a positive and strong grip on young learners. At their command, young learners have a tremendous opportunity when a new school year begins. The opportunity to start fresh, meet new classmates, learn with new teachers, develop new friendships, rekindle friendships with old classmates, study challenging books, use exciting learning materials, and grow from the experiences to come creates excitement and enthusiasm in young learners, as well it should.
Young learners have a serious responsibility to themselves, their families, and their learning community; success will require patience, determination, good listening skills, appropriate questioning techniques, engagement, and the desire to learn. Learning does not occur by accident (although they can be learnable moments), learning occurs when opportunity and preparation meet in a safe and trusting environment. When a young person experiences learning they experience one of the greatest thrills of life; because nothing is as fun as learning something new.
To young learners everywhere – capitalize on your excitement to learn, make your enthusiasm to learn contagious, and have fun learning.
