Happy New Year! I hope you had a
wonderful winter break. The students made
great progress last quarter and I’m excited
to see their growth in this upcoming quarter!
This is great time for goal setting with your
child. Sit down together and set new goals
for reading, helping out with chores,
homework completion and other activities.
Create a chart and use stickers or stamps to
increase motivation and celebrate success.
