Welcome
Children absolutely love magic, and Learning
is M.A.G.I.C. is specifically designed to tap
into the universal joy of wonder while making
learning fun. In this unique
in-school/after-school program, students are
exposed to the daily application of our
M.A.G.I.C. acronym:
Making a plan
Acting without fear
Growing as a person
Imagining without limits
Commitment to excellence
In Learning is M.A.G.I.C., secrets of academic
achievement are shared and strategies for life
success are developed. Through a framework
of dramatic structure, students learn the four
ingredients of our “Dramatic Sandwich”:
Character
Setting
Conflict
Relationships
and how they apply to their personal lives. Pencils become “Magic Wands” and journals become “Secret Notebooks” and every day becomes a new source of wonder and imagination.
With over 45 years of teaching experience, Tonyo Melendez and Ruben Padilla have developed unique and fun methods of:
Self-expression,
Generating creativity,
Problem solving,
Conflict resolution, and the
Celebrating of each student’s individuality.
Each academic hour focuses on Language Arts activities and theatrical games that promote:
Speaking,
Reading,
Writing, and
Listening
By using magic as an emotional hook, language acquisition becomes fun and exciting. In sharing personal experiences and ideas, students build the confidence needed to continue exploring. And in learning magic effects that utilize such skills as math, spelling, or memory, children become motivated to excel academically.
Learning is M.A.G.I.C. goes beyond the classroom to help kids understand the limitless potential in their everyday lives and teaches them to discover the powerful magic that is within us all.
