Welcome to the 2014-2015 School
Hopefully you and your child(ren) are slowly but surely getting back into the school routine. I would like to start my blog this year with a few basic suggestions for getting off on the right foot.
Attendance
Being in school every day means your child will not miss out on learning. Try your best to schedule family trips and appointments outside of school hours, although we all know we all can not get into that 4:00 p.m. appointment time.
Celebrate Progress
Suggest that your child create a fun reminder of all the things he/she has acomplished. Try covering a container with construction paper and label it, "I did it". He/she can write each success on a slip of paper and put it in the container. If they are feeling discouraged it would be a great time to read their accomplishments in the container.
Have a meal together
You may have heard its important for families to eat a meal together. If you work evenings maybe it could be breakfast. On a week-end try a picnic lunch.
Let's have a great year!!
