Life Lessons...

After Easter, we will be beginning the last grading period of this school year. While most of us are in the mindset that it is almost over, in reality there are 9 weeks of school for our children to still get through. Some tips to help you through in the next few months:

Take this opportunity at spring break to get new folders and clean out your child's backpack together.

File papers in an expanded file folder.

Label one folder a homework folder and discuss with your child putting all homework to be done and to be turned in in this folder.

Buy a small notebook and encourage them to write assignments in here.

Reinforce their efforts to be more organized- offer an organization prize each day or week (a small treat, a dollar, a Blizzard, etc).

Reorganize the homework area.

Buy some new pens and pencils, even crayons and markers to spice things up.

Begin planning for summer now. We will offer a study skills group this summer. Let us know if you are interested as we begin planning.
