CENTER
ROUTINE
At the Kumon Center…
The Kumon center in Hopkinton is open on
Wednesdays and Fridays from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm.
The Kumon center in Westboro is open on Tuesdays
and Thursdays from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm.
The
students stay at the center during their designated time
slots for approximately 15-20 minutes. While they are at the
center, the routine is as follows:
|
 |
HELLO!
Students come in, get their files and submit their completed homework
to be assessed and recorded. |
|
 |
5 - 10 sheets per day.
The instructor decides the type and amount of
work suitable for each student. After receiving their assignment for
that day, the students mark down the time at which they start their work on
their record sheet, and complete the assigned pages.
|
|
|
100% always.
Because students work on the materials that match
their abilities, they are able to score 100% or very close to it. 100%
gives them confidence.
After completing their work and
marking down the time, students take their assignment to an
available assistant to be corrected.
While their work is being corrected, students do some supplementary activities. |
|
 |
Correction(s).
Should there be any mistakes, students must correct
them on their own until a score of 100% is achieved. This way the
students learn from
their mistakes.
If a student has made any errors,
they return to their seats to correct them and then take it back to
a grader who will assure that all the corrections have been made. |
|
 |
Recording.
Results are entered in the student's record and checked by the instructor. |
|
 |
Goodbye.
When the work is successfully completed, students
receive praises and rewards from the instructor. They pick up their
homework and say goodbye. |
At Home…
Students do Kumon work every day. On non-center days, they
do a set of work at home each day. It is important to get into a good
daily routine so that studying becomes a part of the day. Completed
homework needs to be checked and summarized by the parents. Parents give their children
praises and compliments essential in developing their self-confidence.
