 Ways you can help at home: Keep your child on a school routine as much as you possibly can. I know it is a busy time of year but ensuring your child has enough rest and reminding him or her that there is still learning to be done at school is important. Read and talk about the most important part in the story and why you think that was the most important.
Writing Journals: Please enjoy your child’s journal and make sure it comes back for Tuesday.
Sign and return your child’s Friday Reflection.
