Family Support For At-Home Learning
As a parent, you can do your part at home to reinforce this important family-school partnership. To help prepare your children for school readiness to stay on track and expand their learning opportunities:
Set up a daily family routine, including healthy eating and sleeping habits
Provide a place and time at home for homework
Check on assignments, homework and projects
Talk each day with your child about his/her activities
Promote literacy by reading to your child and by reading yourself
Limit and monitor TV watching, gaming, social media and computer time
Express high expectations and standards for your child’s learning
Attend parent-teacher conferences, Open House and Back-To-School events
Participate in decisions that affect your child’s education
Tap into community resources with visits to a library, museum, zoo or theater and encourage participation in after-school clubs, sports and art activities
Engaged parents are a key factor in helping students and schools succeed. With families, schools and communities working together as partners, student achievement is enhanced and children are better prepared to do well in school.
9. Reading Coach Henry Tips:A Family That Reads Together Succeeds Together
December’s Book of the Month: Testing the Ice by Sharon Robinson
As a parent, you want your child to fall in love with books and become successful readers. This month, we will spotlight the book Testing the Ice by Sharon Robinson. Here are some activities that you can do with your child using this book.
After reading a couple of pages, you and your child can discuss how your childhood is similar and different. You and your child can draw a picture about your favorite childhood memory.
Read and sip hot chocolate. Discuss how the character changed in the story and what events made the character change.
10. EXACT Path: Students are encouraged to log into EXACT Path daily while at home. They have a dedicated time during the school day to work on their learning paths. However, we do encourage students to continue practicing their "Leveled" skills in their "Reading and Math" learning pathways. Students are recognized bi-weekly for their mastery progress and usage minutes.
