| | All children can learn! They simply need to: 1) Place value or importance upon learning. 2) Become confident in their own abilities.
I look forward to working with my students this year and know how important these children are. You, as a parent can help make your child's year successful! |
| Be positive and encouraging. 1. Focus on your child's strengths. 2. Be patient. 3. Help your child develop positive attitudes toward school. |
| Help your child get organized. 1. Have materials ready. 2. Check your child's homework planner. 3. Develop a clear schedule at home. |
| Ask questions that guide your child, without telling them what to do. 1. Ask about how to get started on a problem. 2. Ask your child to explain what they are doing and why instead of you teaching them how to solve a problem. 3. A good question opens up a problem and supports an explanation (NOT 'yes' or 'no' answer!) |
