Short notes


Better Concentration

Looking for a fun way to improve your youngster’s concentration?  Try this quick game.  The first player makes one motion, like clapping or spinning around.  The second person copies him and adds another movement.  Continue adding new motions until someone forget the sequence.  The last player to get it right starts a new game

Early Release

Start a habit.
Encourage your child to treat studying as a daily assignment, not just something they do the evening before a test.  For example, they might study 15 minutes every night on math facts.  After they finish their homework they can spend a little time reviewing their notes and handouts.

A recipe for Respect.

 Ava listens quietly when her teacher talks.  Ben claps for each performer at his piano recital.  Joe includes everyone in the game at recess. These children show respect for others.  Here’s how you can encourage your child to do the same. 
Demonstrate:
Your child will learn respectful behavior by watching the way you treat others.  When they make a mistake, for instance, gently tell them what they did wrong— and out of earshot of others.  Also let them see you respect ideas and beliefs that are different from your own.  For example, point out that you're happy a friend is voting in an election even though you each favor a different candidate.
Notice:
When you see your child acting respectfully, let them know that you’ve noticed!

I am delighted to be a member of the Lordsburg Municipal Schools. I am a native New Mexican. I was born and raised in Deming, New Mexico. I have 5 children and 3 grandchildren. I have 9 years of experience as a teacher in public education in Deming, New Mexico, 6 years as an administrator in the state of New Mexico, and 7 years as an administrator in the state of Colorado. I hold a B. A. in elementary education; an M.A.T. in elementary education and an M.A. in school administration. All from Western New Mexico University.
I have worked with many different civic organizations within communities in gaining support for education. I have served on many and various boards such as School to Work, Chamber of Commerce and one for children at risk. Students are my business. I firmly believe that students can learn if the environment is designed to be conducive to learning. This includes such things as improving instructional materials, professional development, and having specialized resources for students that address their exceptionalities. Please come and volunteer at RVT,
parent involvement is essential for everyone’s learning.
