- At our Professional Learning Day on Friday, Ms. Scheldrup gave us some new resources to access. One that I particularly found interesting was Reading Rockets. Among other things, it's a site that gives ways to help struggling readers. If you want some new ideas to help your child with reading, check it out!
150 Ways to Show Kids You Care:
- Another resource we received on Friday was a brochure highlighting ways to show a child you care about him/her. Whether in the role of parent or teacher, we all want kids to know they're cared about. Here are the first few:
- 1. Notice them; 2. Smile a lot; 3. Acknowledge them; 4. Learn their names; 5. Seek them out; 6. Remember their birthdays; 7. Ask them about themselves; 8. Look in their eyes when you talk to them; 9. Listen to them; 10. Play with them; 11. Read aloud together; 12. Giggle together; 13. Be nice; 14. Say yes a lot; 15. Tell them their feelings are ok; 16. Set boundaries that keep them safe; 17. Be honest; 18. Be yourself; 19. Listen to their stories; 20. Hug them; 21. Forget your worries sometimes and concentrate only on them; 22. Notice when they're acting differently; 23. Present options when they seek your counsel; 24; Play outside together; 25. Surprise them.
