How can I best support my child as he/she makes the transition to first grade?
The beginning of the first grade year provides challenges as your child will need to adjust to a longer school day with more responsibility. Children generally require extra sleep and a more moderate activity level at home as they become accustomed to their new schedule. Often children need to be reassured that they will do well in their new learning environment and that you are confident in their ability to learn. Familiar routines also provide comfort during this time.Back to Top
What is the best way to support my child with his/her reading development?
The most important thing for you to do at home is to make reading an important part of the day. Read the books sent home every day. Even if the children can not "read" on their own- set aside a reading time each day for them to look through books, creating a story from the pictures they see. As they learn more and more words, they can start to pick out familiar words from the stories. Eventually they will be able to read some stories completely on their own. They should be encouraged to read to as many people as possible!!Back to Top
What is the bst way to support my child with his/her math lessons?
Take a look at the math homework that is sent home each night, These sheets provide GREAT information about what skills we are working on each day. At first, most of the kids are going to need help completing these assignments. Do this by reading the questions to them and asking them to explain to you how to find the answers-don't simply tell them what to do. As they are explaining what they know, you will be able to notice what might be difficult for them. It is important to reinforce this at home and also let me know by making a note on the assignment.Back to Top
