Many students are looking forward to summer and two months free of lessons and tests. And yet this may be a bittersweet time for children who will miss teachers and friends. <span style="color: black;">For some students, the end of the school year means saying lots of good-byes. Some of these are temporary, some more long-lasting. Endings are harder for some children than others.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">While children may happily anticipate the summer--and feel relief knowing that the things they didn't like about the year are over--there's still an underlying awareness that life will never be quite the same again. For children who are changing schools, or saying good-bye to friends who are moving, the good-byes may be particularly meaningful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The many celebrations that mark the end of the school year keep everyone busy with plays, graduations, and stepping-up ceremonies. Families are often preoccupied with end-of-year projects and plans for the summer. The excitement surrounding the end of a school year can sometimes ease the transition but may also distract kids from how it feels to say good-bye<b>. It's important for parents to find ways to acknowledge, and even honor, the year-long bonds that their children formed during the many months of school.<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

If possible, take some photos of classmates and teachers--and of the classroom--before displays are dismantled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Not all kids experience the end of the school year in the same way. Some are totally focused on what's next; they're glad to move on. However, most children need some understanding that in moving on there may be a sense of loss for what was ... and that's okay. Communicate with your child! Acknowledge his or her feelings. Saying good bye is a hard lesson to learn, but you may be there to help your child learn it effectively.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><b>We must be all wondering why is it so hot, hot, hot!?!?!?!? </b></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">And by the looks of it, it will not get cooler any time soon! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">As we all know, hot weather tends to slow our children down, and often gets hem in a bad mood. It is up to us to keep them hydrated, and maybe even cheer them up in the process.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Whether it is to pack in their lunch box or to treat them after school while working on homework, here are some ideas for cool and refreshing snacks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Give them a quick rinse and let them drain, and then roll up in a clean kitchen towel and place in the freezer for a couple of hours. Frozen grapes are almost like little mini sorbets in bite size pieces.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

How refreshing it is! Take a small jug and fill it with water and ice, and add 3 slices of cucumber and leave it for a couple of minutes. It adds a refreshing flavor to the water, and you can keep filling up the jug with water with the same cucumber slices a couple of times and still get a nice flavor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";">Getting your children to finish assignments is a difficult task for some parents. Teaching your children study habits and organizational skills at an early age can help cut back frustration and poor schoolwork. Even though their academic achievement will benefit from this, these are life-long skills that will be helpful in many areas in your child’s life. Here are a few simple tips.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";">1. <u>Talk to your child about school</u>. Find out if there are any subjects that he finds intimidating or any that he looks forward to, and see how he feels about his teacher and his classmates.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";">2. <u>Give your child a three-ring binder to hold her calendar and organize her assignments and notes.</u> Encourage your child to write down her assignments in the calendar. For long-term assignments, help him/her decide how to break the project into chunks with specific goals set for specific dates.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">3. <u>Give your child a place to do schoolwork.</u> Children do not mind unique or small spaces, so a corner with a pillow and a sheet draped over it or a space under a table may suffice if you have a small living space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">4<u>. Limit distractions.</u> This may include television, phones, computers and siblings or any other stimuli that can sabotage schoolwork. Turning off all electronics and limiting socializing allows your child to focus on the task at hand and reinforces the importance of schoolwork.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">5<u>. Ensure that your child gets breaks when needed.</u> If you are a firm believer in all homework being finished in one sitting, let your child know that it is okay to switch between subjects if he needs a break. If your child has focusing problems, set a timer in short increments, then gradually increase the amount of time that he is working on a task.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">6. <u>Reinforce the use of the homework folder our elementary teachers use.</u> Most school folders are labeled one side "Keep at Home" and the other side "Return to School." Make sure your child puts assignments, permission slips, calendars and other important papers in the folder. Go through the folder as often as you can with your child and then periodically check it after she has become accustomed to the routine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">7. <u>Set an example. </u>If you are in school, work on your schoolwork at the same time your child works on his. If you simply have household chores to do, designate a specific chore time, even if you realistically do chores at other times, and make that time schoolwork time as well.</span></div>

Try to stay away from using the chart to earn intrinsic or extrinsic rewards; many children simply enjoy the stickers on the chart. If you also are in school, track your assignments with your child.

<b><u><span a200f="" color:="" footlight="" light="" mt="" serif="" style="font-size: 18pt;">Gratitude</span></u></b><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">is one of the trickiest concepts to teach <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>-- but one of the most important. Although thankful children are more polite and pleasant to be around, there's more to it than that. By learning gratitude, children become sensitive to the feelings of others, develop empathy and other life skills along the way. Grateful children look outside their one-person universe and understand that their parents and other people do things for them -- prepare dinner, dole out hugs, teach, care for them, buy toys, etc. On the flip side, children who aren't taught to be grateful end up feeling entitled and perpetually disappointed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Thanksgiving is a perfect time to teach children about being thankful. Here are some ideas to teach your children how to appreciate the blessings in their lives and how to<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "" "footlight mt light" "" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">express it. Try these ideas and see if they work for you. You may be pleasantly surprised with the results!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "" "footlight mt light" "" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Set the Example.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "" "footlight mt light" "" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;"> Parents have to model the behavior they hope their children adopt as their own. A simple, sincere expression of gratitude when your child does something they were asked to do is always appropriate. Taking an extra moment to thank a sales clerk at the store or to tip your help at home when bringing something to you lets them know that gratitude is acceptable and encouraged.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: #3a200f; font-family: "" "footlight mt light" "" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Children model their parents in every way, so make sure you use "<b>please</b>" and "<b>thank you</b>" when you talk to them. ("Thanks for that hug -- it made me feel great!"). </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">

<b><span style="font-family: "" , "footlight mt light" , "" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Work gratitude into your daily conversation.</span></b><span style="font-family: "" , "footlight mt light" , "" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>When you reinforce an idea frequently, it's more likely to stick. Two old-fashioned, true ideas: Make saying what good things happened today part of the dinnertime conversation, or make bedtime prayers part of your nightly routine if this is an important part of your personal belief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Children might say things like a favorite toy or food, but sometimes they will express thanks for a family where they feel safe or for a dad's income that let's them have a few luxuries. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "" "footlight mt light" "" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Don't Demand Thanks.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "" "footlight mt light" "" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Avoid demanding thanks from your children. They will internalize example much more than they will threats or humiliation. If you offer it sincerely to them, they will learn the skills of gratitude.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "" "footlight mt light" "" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Teach Through Role Playing.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "" "footlight mt light" "" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;"> If you notice a lack of the gratitude attitude, consider a little role playing. Have children act out a scenario where someone went out of their way for someone else, and have the receiver express gratitude. You might even consider a negative example and see how the giver feels when his or her giving is ignored.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

By having family rituals that center on gratitude, children learn to express thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "" , "footlight mt light" , "" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Have kids help.</span></b><span style="font-family: "" , "footlight mt light" , "" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"> It happens to everyone: You give your child a chore, but it's too agonizing watching him a) take forever to do it or b) make a huge mess. The temptation is always to step in and do it yourself. But the more you do for them, the less they appreciate your efforts. By participating in simple household chores like feeding the dog or stacking dirty dishes on the counter, kids realize that all these things take effort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Instead, figure out some way he/she can actively participate in helping someone else, even if it's as simple as making cupcakes for a sick neighbor. As you're stirring the batter or adding sprinkles, talk about how you're making them for a special person, and how happy the recipient will be.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

All. Each child learns differently. That is why one of the assessment tools
we use is one that helps us measure the progress that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>each</u></b> student makes in his or her grade’s curriculum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">MAP</span></b><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"> tests are computerized adaptive assessments that test
differently, allowing teachers to see their students as individuals – each with
their own base of knowledge. <b>MAP </b>assessments provide detailed,
actionable data about where each child is on their unique learning path.
Because student engagement is essential to any testing experience, these tests
offer the students test items that interest children and help to capture detail
about what they know and what they’re ready to learn. It gives information
teachers can use in the classroom to help every child, every day.<o:p></o:p></span><o:p></o:p></div>

parents stress to their child(ren) the importance of taking these tests and
giving their best effort. Teachers need accurate measures of each student

Being late just ten minutes each day means 30 hours of lost instruction time each year. Please avoid scheduling doctor’s appoints or family trips during school days and hours. If age appropriate, teach your child to set an alarm clock so he/she can take responsibility to wake up but do whatever it takes to make sure your child’s in class on time and ready to learn.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. <b>Prioritize schoolwork</b>. Stress that school and homework comes <b><u>first</u></b>, and before friends, a job, or sports. Limit (or restrict) TV, videogames, movies and/or playdates during school nights. Set high expectations that you expect your child to do his schoolwork to the best of his/her ability, and then make sure he/she does by following through. Set high educational aspirations for your child.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. <b>Be involved from the get go!</b> Know what’s going on in your child’s school and classroom. Monitor your child’s school progress. Read the schoolcommunications (blogs), volunteer, show up to school events. Check your child’s work, but don’t do it for him/her! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
4. <b>Partner with the teacher</b>. Show up to every parent conference and back-to-school-event. Call for an appointment if you see your child struggling. Maintain ongoing communication with the teacher and the school. <u>Stay connected!</u> Don’t let report cards surprise you. Know how your child is doing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. <b>Show daily interest.</b> Create daily rituals such as in the car, during the family meal or every night before your child goes to bed to discuss school. Ask: “What did you do in school?” not “How did you do?” Don’t let a day go by that you don’t talk about what happened in your child’s classroom and what he/she is learning.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. <b>Support your child’s school activity participation</b>. Children who feel connected to their school are more likely to have better grades. Encourage your child to participate in school activities that match his/her interests.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. <b>Applaud effort!</b> Acknowledge hard work and persistence not just the grade or the outcome. Use <u>specific praise</u> about a task so your child knows what he/she did right to help stretch his/her inner motivation. The single greatest correlation to success in life is not the child’s grade but his/her persistence. <u>Emphasize the effort</u>!</div>

Talk about the importance of education. Have books available so your child see that reading is important. Let your childrenn see that you aren’t derailed by a mistake, and problem solve to work things through. <u>Be an example of hard work and persistence so your child has a model to copy.<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
9<b>. Pass on high educational aspirations</b>. Be clear that you value learning and why education is crucial. Your child must understand it is important to work hard and how his/her effort will pay off later. From an early age talk to your child about future education plans in “<u>when</u>” not “if” term: “When you graduate from high school…” and “When you go to college…” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
10. <b>Get help so your child succeeds</b>! If your child is struggling with his learning don’t wait to get help. Call the school and talk to the teacher. Ask to speak with the counselor or area administrator. Your goal is to create the best plan to help your child’s learning steadily progress and reduce frustrations so he feels successful. Don’t give up!</div>

teachers are “on the countdown" to the last day of school. Many students
are looking forward to summer and two months free of lessons and tests. And yet
this may be a bittersweet time for children who will miss teachers and friends. <span style="color: black;">For most kids, the end of the school year means saying lots
of good-byes. Some of these are temporary, some more long-lasting. Endings are
harder for some children than others.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">While children may happily anticipate the summer--and feel relief
knowing that the things they didn't like about the year are over--there's still
an underlying awareness that life will never be quite the same again. For
children who are changing schools, or saying good-bye to friends who are
moving, the good-byes may be particularly meaningful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The many celebrations that mark the end of the
school year keep everyone busy with plays, graduations, and stepping-up
ceremonies. Families are often preoccupied with end-of-year projects and plans
for the summer. The excitement surrounding the end of a school year can
sometimes ease the transition but may also distract kids from how it feels to
say good-bye<b>. It's important for parents to find ways to acknowledge, and
even honor, the year-long bonds that their children formed during the many
months of school.<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">A parent can help with end-of-year good-byes by <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to stay in touch. If possible, take some photos of classmates and teachers--and
of the classroom--before displays are dismantled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Not all kids experience the end of the school year in the same
way. Some are totally focused on what's next; they're glad to move on. However,
most children need some understanding that in moving on there may be a sense of
loss for what was ... and that's okay. Communicate with your child! Acknowledge
his or her feelings. Saying good bye is a hard lesson to learn, but you may be
there to help your child learn it effectively.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: 24pt;">HOW TO HELP YOUR CHILD IN THE LAST STRETCH OF THE SCHOOL YEAR</span></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Once we come back from the Semana Santa / Easter Break, we begin the last stretch of the school year. There is still much to do, and we will all be very busy. The warm weather that is characteristic of this time of the year can be distracting, but year-end learning is critical. With three smart tips, parents can help children wrap the grade with an academic edge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">1. Reassess the requirements</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> - meet with the teacher to see what work remains to be done. Clear up confusion over missing grades and incomplete past-due work, even if there’s a penalty. Later learning builds on early lessons, and all course concepts may be covered on final exams.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">2. Make a plan - </span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">check your child’s notebooks and folders to stay on top of things. Reorganize. Put notes in order. Get a bigger notebook if needed. Stock up on pencils, erasers, paper, printer ink or any other school supplies that are needed. Organize homework time. Experts recommend students focus on a task for no more than 45 minutes before taking a break – younger learners need even shorter sessions. Downtime allows the brain to consolidate learning and re-energize.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVZ4Z4sJzN614_VNPD7hjcKoLcaCuaBcMdIAGl6Jp4q3cHRrb97obyXqXI-g9Lizw_swq0IMGLsxi-Rba4aMy0slMaXgSArSZbm6H-xwW3zg48w_MKAYGlp9hhZCCcZRsFJz-c87Q0Jx6/s1600/involvement.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVZ4Z4sJzN614_VNPD7hjcKoLcaCuaBcMdIAGl6Jp4q3cHRrb97obyXqXI-g9Lizw_swq0IMGLsxi-Rba4aMy0slMaXgSArSZbm6H-xwW3zg48w_MKAYGlp9hhZCCcZRsFJz-c87Q0Jx6/s1600/involvement.png" /></a><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">3. Ease anxiety - </span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Maintain a healthy sleep schedule and sustain energy with nutritious food. Start children off with a protein-packed breakfast and plan healthy snacks every two or three hours throughout the day. </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Brain work</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> burns fuel.</span><b style="font-size: 14pt;"> </b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Remind your child of his/her strengths. Boost their self-confidence. Star students use their academic talents to overcome (or compensate for) weaknesses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Now is the time to take and deep breath and remember: help your children finish this school year strong!</span></b></div>

Consider reading one book together every month aloud. Take turns reading pages, chapters or major sections of the book. As this activity becomes a routine, it will not only help develop your child's reading skills, but will also create a basis for ongoing dialogue and discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Making friends (and keeping them) are important life skills to have. Friendships can be developed in many different settings. Having good friends makes you happy. Being a good friend is not a skill that kids just pick up from hanging out with other children on the playground. Developing friendships takes a lot of work (both by parents and kids), but can be one of the most rewarding things to happen in a child’s life. Here are some simple ways to help teach your child about being a good friend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "batang" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Getting your children to finish assignments is a difficult task for some parents. Teaching your children study habits and organizational skills at an early age can help cut back frustration and poor schoolwork. Even though their academic achievement will benefit from this, these are life-long skills that will be helpful in many areas in your child’s life. Here are a few simple tips.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

For long-term assignments, help him/her decide how to break the project into chunks with specific goals set for specific dates.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "batang" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">3. <b><u>Give your child a place to do schoolwork.</u></b> Children do not mind unique or small spaces, so a corner with a pillow and a sheet draped over it or a space under a table may suffice if you have a small living space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "batang" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">6. <b><u>Reinforce the use of the homework folder our elementary teachers use</u></b>. Most school folders are labeled one side "Keep at Home" and the other side "Return to School." Make sure your child puts assignments, permission slips, calendars and other important papers in the folder. Go through the folder as often as you can with your child and then periodically check it after she has become accustomed to the routine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Try to stay away from using the chart to earn intrinsic or extrinsic rewards; many children simply enjoy the stickers on the chart. If you also are in school, track your assignments with your child.

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";">The key to knowing if your child has a problem in school is to be an involved parent. Let your child know you are there for him and that you will do anything you can to help. If you suspect a problem and the answer isn't forthcoming from your child, don't hesitate to contact his teacher. Ask questions until you get answers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";">How do you know if your child is having trouble in school? Look for changes in her behavior and attitude. If her grades suddenly drop or if he/she seems to be struggling with a subject or subjects, talk to him/her and contact his/her teacher. If you suspect a problem, don't wait for a report card to come home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";">Talk to your child about the good and troubling things you see. Offer praise for good grades or improved work, but let him/her know you notice a slide in work quality or if he/she seems to be struggling with a subject. This is also a good time to talk to the teacher and find out when tests are coming up and when they will be returned. Do this either by calling or maintaining e-mail contact with your child's teacher. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";">Unfinished work also may be a sign your child is struggling. Children having a tough time with the assigned work may just give up out of frustration. If you notice this, make sure you are there to help with homework or perhaps find a tutor who can help.

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";">Don't hesitate to talk to your child and to his teacher. Teachers appreciate involved parents, but don't go into discussions with the teacher in attack mode. Focus on helping your child with his/her struggles and coming up with a plan.

arise at any time, please do not hesitate to give your child’s teacher or me a
call, or write us an email. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
