| Students tend to stay more involved with school when they know their parents are also staying involved. As you ask your child what he or she did in school, here are some specifics to help guide the conversation: Information is abundant and it comes to our students from so many sources - books, worksheets, television, magazines, friends, teachers, websites, etc. Keeping track of this is essential. While our individual methods of organization may differ, the most important thing is to have a method. As we begin the 3rd quarter, find some time to discuss and review organization with your child. Ask what they do and what help they might need to stay organized. As we begin our week of non-fiction for our reading calendars, also give some consideration to discussing this with your child. Ask about what they've learned from they've read, as well as what they've liked and disliked about it. |
