NewDo: Creative Learning at Home for a Six Year Old

A six-year-old Chef in the Making

Meet Jayden, now studying from home in the greater Denver area

Families all  over the nation are now challenged with assisting with their children's education through remote study or their own creativity.

Jayden’s remote learning started today, as Spring Break vacation has ended. Her parents are busy sorting through all the emails from her teacher, librarian, music teacher, etc. It will be a challenge to keep up on. Fortunately, Jayden's mom was a primary school a teacher (now at home with her two children), and she provides a wonderful structure to Jayden's day.

How does this six-year old see herself?

All about Jayden

Jayden loves the pigeon books so she read “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” and then she and her mom constructed a snack out of items they had at home to go along with the story. 

Her favorite series, currently

Jayden picked most of the ingredients with a little help from mom with the blue food coloring for the pigeon. 

The aspiring chef

She used brioche toast, hummus, a cracker, gelt, Fruit Loops, a chocolate chip eye and goldfish pieces nose.

yumm....

Another artist, in her own right! 
Go Jayden! And go parents for encouraging the creativity and making the best of our enforced at-home time!


A little bit about Jayden

Jayden is an active just-turned-six year old. Her favorite color is pink, although her second choice of colors tends to shift around. She loves to dance, play soccer, sing, and she can beat her Nonna when they play concentration card games. She is very good at reading, and had many books memorized at a young edge, so the reader couldn't skip sections without a reprimand. Now, she has learned to read herself and does this for her little brother who she reads to every morning. One of her passions is anything to do with cooking and food preparation. She has a variety of food-related toys and seems destined to be someone of note in the world of cuisine.
