Educational process in the 5th grade: new achievements and successes
On September 1, 2024, fifth-grade students happily continued their education at the International School for Holistic Development, "Kids of the Future". Our bright and successful fourth-graders have grown a year older, enjoyed their summer break, and are eager to move up to fifth grade. The fifth-grade curriculum is delivered in an online format and includes both traditional subjects outlined by the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and additional lessons in yoga, meditation, and Gifted Child Program, which focuses on spiritual growth, self-awareness, and exploration of the world. Holistic child development encompasses unity and the interaction of intellectual, physical, moral, and aesthetic education. Each day usually begins with meditation, where students learn to immerse themselves in their personal energetic space, manage their thoughts, breathe correctly, and focus their attention. After meditation, all students experience a sense of calm, lightness, joy, and love for themselves and the world around them. This is a vital and essential component for strong immunity and outstanding learning. Our fifth graders thoroughly enjoy math lessons focusing on calculations and problem-solving; Ukrainian language classes that include writing short stories on various topics, allowing students to develop their creativity and expression. Ukrainian literature lessons are also lively and enjoyable, especially when students read aloud in roles, fostering their acting skills. Lessons are always joyful and uplifting, while high moral and ethical values, order, and discipline remain the top priority. Our wonderful teacher and homeroom leader, Vitalia Lyubomyrivna Savchuk, skillfully and creatively organizes the educational process and leisure activities for the fifth graders. She treats every student with professionalism and love, understands each child's soul, and always offers support, guidance, and encouragement. After class, the school provides an after-school program where students complete their homework, socialize, prepare gifts for birthdays, and joyfully celebrate each other, creating a festive atmosphere. The focus is always on friendship and unity among students, with the motto being: "One for all and all for one!" In this class, there are no best or worst students; each student, without exception, is talented and gifted! The International School of Holistic Development, "Kids of the Future," is a special place because it is here that the Kids of the Future are nurtured and raised to become the Stewards of our beautiful planet Earth.
