"A properly created object-spatial environment is the second teacher." Tatiana Ryupina speaks about the educational program in the Academy

Tatiana Ryupina, the senior methodologist of the Talent and Success Educational Foundation, helped to develop the curriculum for preschool groups at the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy.

The specialist explained before the start of the academic year, why it is so important to create proper conditions for studying in the Academy.

"Preschool children aren’t involved in sports. Preschool children can only be involved in playing. And therefore, the task that we were confronted with was to create conditions for girls so that in addition to developing harmoniously and comprehensively, they had the opportunity to show off their talent, their innate qualities in a complexly coordinated sport."

Special activity centers have been created for studies of preschool children in the Academy. Tatiana Ryupina gives examples of future studies to take place:

"We can show a certain number of items. We have a lot of counting material, small items. But it is very useful when children learn the concept of ‘quantity’ through sound. Next, we can also connect the sense of smell, that is, we need to choose, for example, three objects with a certain smell. And thus, by acting out the quantity through different senses, we allow children to better understand, better make this information their own. A properly created object-spatial environment is the second teacher and allows you to solve very, very many tasks very simply and unobtrusively."

Additional education for preschool children with the focus on rhythmic gymnastics and English will kick off in September.
