March Break is almost here! The kids (and the staff) are excited for some time to decompress. There are a few must do's over the break.
- First, take a few minutes with your child to review their progress. Think back to September and talk about their strengths. Ask them to come up with some next steps for themselves too. Looking back at progress will help your child's confidence grow! Creating next steps will help students take on even more responsibility for their own learning.
- Second, READ! Take at least 20 minutes a day to listen to your child read. We will send them all home with lots of reading material at their level. To take on more of an active role in the reading process ask your students to decode a few words per page using their "gameplan". Prompt your child by saying "write this word on a separate piece of paper and show me how you would use your gameplan" . You will be surprised at what you see!
- Next, make time for your student log into and get some Lexia or Core 5 done. They are used to doing 25 - 30 minutes of it per day!
- Last, take some time to decompress. Your child has been working harder than he or she has ever before for the last 6 months.
