Increase Reading Scores by Reading more Books
Our K-12 WIG (Wildly Important Goal) this year is, "increase reading scores by reading more books." Look at all the books we've read! We are over half way to our first quarter goal of reading 1000 books. The end of the quarter is October 25. Keep reading!
What our Teachers Have to Say
One of the many reasons that I love being a part of BCSS is that the support from families is not only promoted, but expected. "With support from families..." is predominant as the first line in our school's mission statement. Parents, as a child's first teacher, play a crucial role in supporting their child's education for several reasons:
**Emotional Support**
Children thrive in an environment where they feel encouraged and understood. Parental involvement boosts their confidence and motivation.
**Establishing Routines**
Parents can help create a consistent study routine, which fosters good habits and time management skills.
**Communication with Teachers**
Engaging positively with educators helps parents stay informed about their child's progress and any challenges they may face, allowing for timely interventions.
**Reinforcing Learning**
Parents can extend learning beyond the classroom by engaging in educational activities at home, such as reading together or exploring new topics of interest.
**Modeling Lifelong Learning**
When parents demonstrate a positive attitude toward education, children are more likely to value learning and pursue knowledge throughout their lives.
**Resource Access**
Parents can provide access to books, technology, and extracurricular activities that enhance educational experiences.
**Building Relationships**
Active involvement helps children develop strong relationships with their parents, which can improve their emotional well-being and academic performance.
**Advocacy**
Parents who are active in thier child's education can positively advocate for their child's needs within the school system, ensuring they receive appropriate resources and support.
By participating in their child's education, parents not only support academic success but also foster a love of learning and a strong family bond.
