Online Leadership Academy Kids
Welcome to Online Leadership Academy for Kids! On March 19-20, 2020, we’ll be running a series of online workshops for kids. It’s a great way to keep kids engaged and growing as we all adapt to learning and working from home! Dial into as many or as few sessions as you like – full day participation not required.
Schedule: March 19, 2020
Session : ENGLISH LANGUAGE (Grades: K-1)
Time : 10:00 am – 10:30 am
Session Info: Get excited to use your hands to communicate in a fun way! For parents: Research has found that the use of signs and finger spelling will accommodate a wide range of learning styles: “verbal linguistic”, “kinesthetic” and “interpersonal.” Sign Language allows us to represent information through seeing, hearing, and movement. And the more pathways that are created in the brain, the stronger the memory.

Instructor Bio: Ilyse Schwartz – I have my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I work with people across the lifespan ages 2 months —> 100+! My specialty though is working with children. I work full time in a school setting and help children learn how to move safely. I also help children who may be struggling academically learn through movement. For example, instead of learning how to count by counting a number of objects , let’s try jumping from spot to spot on a number line and see if that helps! I also teach exercise classes to children in middle school who are not interested in sports and I make it fun and interactive!
