Act it out!

Prep: Have your child pick out a book to read. (You can visit the library together or pick from books you already have at home.) Skim through the book on your own first to get an idea of the characters.

Play: Read the book aloud to your child, using a different voice for each character as you go along. For example, give an old man a deep gravely voice and a younggirl a high-pitched voice. Change your tone and volume to show emotion. Use your enthusiasm!

Get your child in on the action, too. For example, have him or her act out something a character did, such as riding a horse by galloping around on a broom. Don’t be afraid to join in and get a little silly.

Laughter is fun for “children” of all ages!

Parents' attitudes toward mathematics have an impact on children's attitudes. Children whose parents show an interest in and enthusiasm for mathematics around the home will be more likely to develop that enthusiasm themselves.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

Reading to children is a treasured activity in many homes. What better way to integrate mathematics into the lives of children than to read them stories that bring mathematical ideas to life? Children's books related to mathematics can be separated into four categories: counting books, number books, storybooks, and concept books.

Encourageyour child to treat studying as a daily assignment, not just something they dothe evening before a test. For example,they might study 15 minutes every night on math facts. After they finish their homework they canspend a little time reviewing their notes and handouts.

A recipe for Respect.

Ava listens quietly when her teachertalks. Ben claps for each performer athis piano recital. Joe includes everyonein the game at recess. These children show respect for others. Here’s how you can encourage your child to dothe same.
Demonstrate:
Your child willlearn 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 andbeliefs that are different from your own. For example, point out that you're happy a friend is voting in anelection even though you each favor a different candidate.
Notice:
When you see yourchild acting respectfully, let them know that you’ve noticed!

This is a Bully

· Physical assaulter

· Verbal taunting, name caller, put downs, spreader of rumors

· Threats and intimidation

· Stealer of money and possessions, extortion

· Hostile, threatening, or obscene body gestures

· Lack of empathy towards others

National research shows the effects of bullying can last a lifetime. Victims have an increased chance of academic failure and health problems, low self-esteem and inability to connect socially.

There are long-term implications for bullies as well. Research shows that youths who bully typically have a criminal record by age 24.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Your Support is Needed

There is a movement in Santa Fe to change the funding formula that supplies our district with our operation monies. Lordsburg is currently designated a Small District with Small Schools. By keeping Southside, Central and RVT open, our district receives money to compensate us for the higher cost of running a small school.

As a Small District, we also receive compensatory funds to help us provide the necessary programs to our students. While we have been hit hard with budget cuts in the past year, and are still making budget cuts, we have been able to continue to provide our students with a high quality education and offer the necessary programs our students need and enjoy.

The Legislative Finance Committee is trying to dissolve Small Districts and Small Schools from the funding formula. The LFC believes doing this will save the state a great deal of money, however, it will mean we will lose around $1.3 million dollars from our budget. This would force us to suspend programs and would increase class sizes, thus affecting your child’s education. If this movement is to be stopped, the people in Santa Fe MUST hear from YOU!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Thank you for participating in the Parent/Teacher Conference on Oct. 20.

We can’t do this without you and your help. Your involvement and interest will make a huge difference in your child’s learning experience. Ask your child each day: “What new thing did you learn today?” “Tell me some things about what you read today.”

What is Bullying?

Bullying is typically a form of repeated, persistent and aggressive behavior directed at an individual or individuals that is intended to cause fear and distress and/or harm to another person’s body, feelings, self-esteem, or reputation. Bullying occurs in a context where there is real or perceived power imbalance. At RVT we are taking Bullying seriously. Please talk with your child about the serious matter of bullying.

I hope you Voted November 2, 2010.

I will keep you updated on the various bills that will come before the Legislators this 60 day session. We will have a new Governor and I suspect there will be some changes.
