"I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand" 

Chinese Proverb          

"Reading aloud to children is the most highly recommended activity for parents and teachers (Anderson, Hiebert, Scott, & Wilkinson 1985)."      

Student of the week:

News You Can Use:

    What you as a parent can do to help your child:

Reading:

• Read with them daily
• Re-read books -Researchers have shown that repeated readings help children internalize stories and understand them in greater detail. They also reinforce language patterns and story sequencing (Mayers, 2010)
• Ask questions related to story

Math:

• Practice Telling Time using an analog clock and digital clock
•     -- Telling time to hour & half an hour
• Count & Identify coins with them anychance you get, as we all know...it is a very important skill :)
• Practice math facts with child (make it fun by making a memory game, flashcards, or exploring the kid websites I have attached under Parent & Kid Friendly Websites section)
• Memorizing math facts will only help make adding and subtracting easier and faster for students.

WE ARE A CLASS FREE OF ALLERGIES!
