We have completed the 2nd week since Christmas break.
Time has FLOWN by!
I enjoyed visiting with many of you at Parent's Night.
I know schedules are hectic; I appreciate you taking the time to come to this important event!
Reading: I know I am repeating myself.....please, please, please encourage your child to read. Reading is one of the most important skills - in life. In order to be successful in any other subject, they must be able to read. Remember - reading well isn't (just) about "sounding" good, but comprehension must also be in place. Ask your child to retell the story in their own words. Ask your child who the characters were, where the setting was, and why or when something happened. These types of questions will encourage your child to think about what they are reading.
Math: Practice math skills by incorporating real world connections. "I just ate 2 red M&M's, there are 3 red M&M's left. I wonder how many red M&M's there were all together?" With a bit of thought almost all situations can be turned into a math problem.
Enjoy the long weekend! I will be excited to see my children on Tuesday! Please make sure they are getting enough rest every night, because I plan to strengthen their brains by tiring them out!
Thank you - as always - for sharing your children with me,
Mrs. Lair
