Short notes

Routines for learning:  When parents get involved in learning, children are more successful.  Help your child get off to a good start in school by creating habits like these at home:

Remind your child of rules such as “reading before play or television”.  That shows them that learning is top priority.  Also, give them a comfortable place to read or draw without distractions.

Make time, next year, each day to look over school papers with your child.  Be on the look out for notes from their teachers, and mark important dates on the calendar.

Sharing at dinnertime is an activity that can go beyond passing the platter.  Ask your child to think  of one new thing they learned during the day.  It might spark an interesting conversation among everyone at the dinner table.

Be sure to go to the

Public Library this
summer!

Fun Activity.

Waiting Games

Waiting has become a part of our everyday lives.  The next time you hear, “how much longer?” try one of these ideas to occupy your children.

Play word games.  Start with a simple word like  “up”.  Take turns thinking of opposites (down).

Work on counting forward and backward.  For an extra challenge, have your child try counting from a number other than 1.  For instance, you say, “7” they would continue “8,9,10”

Try an alphabet search.  Look around the room and find the letter “A” on a sign or poster.  Take turns finding the letters in order until you reach “Z”.

Remember read to or with your child all summer!
