Hello there!
Happy Summer Birthday to Trevor!!! What fun treats from Dr. Who! You and your parents sure are creative Trevor. I hope you have a wonderful 10th birthday this summer.
Tennis shoes and library books are needed for tomorrow.
Bonus code word tonight is ANIMAL. Ask your child which animal they are planning on researching for science class. If they tell you, write the word animal in the planner for $10.
Here is the next two fun thoughts from the week's article. Enjoy!
10 Thoughts a Teacher Hopes All Parents Know
7. The most important skills your child needs to learn in Elementary school are- Study Skills! From flash cards, to note taking, your child must learn to study for Secondary and Post Secondary years. Especially keep an eye on your child if they are a straight A student- as elementary school may be too easy, but eventually the subject matter will become increasingly difficult and they will be ill-prepared to study and ill-equipped to handle failure.
8. Don’t compare your child’s learning to any other child’s learning. For both success and struggle, asking your child to be like another child is just wrong. Keep it focused on what your child can accomplish. Forming better study habits or asking for help, are reachable tasks that can help a C student shoot for a C+ or B on the next test/report card. If you know your child has worked hard, be proud, show encouragement and your child will continue to put forth the effort and blossom!
Sorry for the short blog, but my little Beau Beau went home sick from school and I want to get right home. Have a wonderful evening!
