July 6, 2019 Homework is a huge piece of your child's success in third grade. The homework folder is crucial to home-school communication. This is where your child will bring home important notices about classroom and school activities, as well as homework. Please make sure you are checking your child's folder and homework each night.
July 6, 2019 Checking Bookbags Please make sure that you check your child's school bag each night. While I understand that many parents want their children to work towards independence in this area, my suggestion would be to allow your child to empty their school bag and folder and then check it when they are finished. Kids are human, they forget - oops!

July 6, 2019 Teaching the Whole It's okay to make Problem Solving Child mistakes As a teacher, my goal is to teach the whole child. While academics are an important part of your child's development, life Own It lessons are just as important to the growth of your child. Learning bigger lessons, like how to work together, how to accept responsibility, how to ask for help, and how to handle challenges, and disappointments are all a part of your child's growth this year. Working Together Facing Challenges
July 6, 2019 Failure Leads to Success Let your child fail. Let them face consequences. I realize that as a parent, our instinct is to want to fix things for our children. But at this age, a big part of their growth depends on their ability to face challenges and work through them. This is the time to let your child fail. This is the time to model for them that it's okay to make mistakes.
July 6, 2019 Consequences Experiencing consequences is the way children grow. I know as parents, because of our amazing love for our children, we often have a harder time accepting consequences than our children. But, modeling for them how to handle and learn from those consequences is one of the greatest lessons you can give them. There may be a time when they miss recess, or lose out on an activity. Please reassure them that that's not the end of the world. There will be ups and downs throughout their third grade year, but they will come out on the other side ready to conquer the world.
