Our character word for the month of September is responsibility. We are working hard to make good choices and to be responsible for our actions. Please help me continue to instill responsibility in our boys and girls by holding them accountable for his/her behavior. It is very important to be good listeners and to use self control to get the best education possible. We have a great group of children and want them to stay on the best possible path. Thank you so much for your continued support for your/our children. I appreciate you!
CONGRATULATIONS SETH FOR BEING LEADER OF THE PACK THIS WEEK!
Skill Support:
*Create simple addition stories while riding in the car. Our children love doing this and it helps them to develop their mental math skills. For instance: There were six dogs and two more came over. How many dogs do we have now? Take turns making the problems and make sure that you give your answer with a unit (or label) such as: We now have eight dogs.
*Practice math facts with our boys and girls nightly by “racing” to see who can correctly answer the facts the fastest. This is a great motivator for students to learn those math facts. It only takes a little while each night, and it is fun too.
