Orientation for Fall 2025 Classes

Since our classes will be getting started very soon, it’s time to add our Orientation webinar to your schedule. If you are able, please sign up and plan to attend the live webinar, which is scheduled for Saturday, August 23 10:00 PT/1:00 ET. If you are unable to attend the live webinar, you will still be required to sign up for the webinar so that we can send you a link to the recorded orientation meeting. You may be surprised to find out just how helpful that information is for your family’s success in partnering with TWJ to bring quality education to your students this school year. During the Orientation meeting we will touch on the following important details and expectations:

• Your child’s instructor’s role

• Your child’s responsibilities

• How you can help: what to do and what NOT to do

• Homework

• Communication

• Challenges along the way

• Paying for services

So you can see we will be sharing information that is essential for you and your child to know in order to have success in all classes.

We’re looking forward to connecting on the 23rd!

Learn How to Teach Practical Effective Writing Skills to Your Students

The new school year is about to begin, and we want to make sure you know that TWJ is here to partner with you if you need any assistance with teaching the very important skill of writing to your students. Even though many students would disagree, this is not a skill we want to delegate to AI. Students learn many important skills as they practice and perfect their writing skills. 

While you always have the option to hire an experienced instructor through tutoring, you also have the option to train yourself to become an excellent writing instructor for your students. Using the methods we have been teaching students for 25 years, you too can find success and joy in coming alongside your students, encouraging them to think independently and express their thoughts and ideas in writing. 

The first step in the Adult Training Program is to attend the Writing Foundations Seminar, where you will learn the foundational building blocks of all great writing. In addition, you will learn specific steps and strategies to help students of all ages learn to write. After completing the Writing Foundations Seminar, you will be able to receive additional instruction to help equip you to teach to the varying ages and abilities of your students. 

A Writing Foundations Seminar will be held in September & November 2025, January, March, and July 2026. Exact days and times will vary from group to group, depending upon schedules and availability. Contact the home office to receive a phone call and learn more about this opportunity.

Writing well is often an overwhelming task for both students and instructors, but it doesn’t have to be.  Check out our Adult Training Program to learn more about this opportunity.

Winter Activities That Teach

Are you looking for a change of pace for the next couple months? Here are a few winter-themed activities to continue learning during these colder weeks:

• Build a fort indoors

• Try baking and cooking, using math and reading skills as your family tries new recipes (or the steady tried-and true recipes!)

• Read aloud to each other snuggled up in blankets

• Watch and movie and read a book of the same story to compare the two

• Make salt dough creations

• Make villages out of cardboard, glue, and paint (add whatever craft items you want)

• Have a Lego Day- Try creating any of the following: meals, animals, houses, towns, words, etc..

• Weather permitting, go on a nature walk, gathering items such as leaves, sticks, rocks, feathers, etc.. If you’d rather not gather items, have your children draw what they see.

• Watch a step-by-step painting class on YouTube, and have a family art session

• Organize your bookshelves alphabetically

• Lay butcher’s paper, or brown shipping paper on a large surface, such as a tabletop or floor, and draw a whole winter scene with markers, crayons, or paints 

• Learn about the way settlers or pioneers prepared for the winter months

• Locate “Neighborhood Libraries, and visit one; remember to take a book to “exchange”

• Visit your local library

• Try ice skating

• Play board games; playing card games often help with math, logic, and strategy. Have fun!

• Complete various puzzles

• Have your children create their own scrapbook of memories. They can even make their own book by hand with some paper and art supplies.
