Dear Blossomwood Families,
Thank you again for all of your help at home as we continue to learn how to make each day a valuable one for all of our children. We encourage students to get smarter each day and make each day count which includes reading for 15-20 minutes each night at home. #WinTheDay
We have had several parents ask for some advice on how to help their students at home. Here are a few tips that might enhance your child's daily learning experience:
Find a quiet, comfortable location in your home to learn/work in each day.
Establish some routines; including going to bed and getting up at the same time (Mon.-Fri.).
Provide a level of supervision suitable to your child's age or stage of development.
Refrain from doing the thinking/work for your child. For example, think or struggle time is often part of the learning process. This is so difficult for us adults.
Monitor how much time your child is spending online. Frequent breaks can be helpful.
Please read this week's Smore Newsletter for information about our new volunteer plan and volunteer form, parent survey for district level accreditation, HCS Special Education Department parent training session, Fall Pictures, and the Alabama Literacy Act.
Sincerely,
Bradley A. Scott, Ed.D.
Principal
