Before we know it, Thanksgiving is here and our focus turns to the holidays and winter break.  January comes along and the year is in full swing. Teachers are moving at a fast pace in preparation for the end of year testing season, which arrives not long after spring break.

New Year’s Resolution. Make a New Year’s Resolution to make sure your child is eating healthy and getting enough rest for each school day.  Create a perfect homework environment that is quiet and away from distractions.  Get involved in their homework and check that they have completed it each night. Most importantly, show your child how much you care about their education and praise them for all their successes and hard work. Hearing your praise builds confidence and creates a positive learning environment that is sure to bring success this year.
