Hello Families!

 

Thank you so much for joining us at last Thursday’s parent meeting! Ms. Thabet and I enjoyed spending time with you and your children together in our classroom. Here is a short recap of the topics we covered:

Along with learning academic skills such as letters, numbers, and name writing, another important skill children learn in school is how to be independent.

We teach this important skill at school in several ways:

• Consistent routine

• Labeling with words and pictures

• Encouraging self-help skills

 

Some ways to help children learn a new skill:

• Teach how to do skill (hand over hand, talk them through it)
• Provide opportunities to practice
• It doesn’t have to be perfect!
• Spills happen. It’s not an emergency, we just clean it up!
• Encourage their efforts

 

Please enjoy these pictures from our parent meeting yesterday:
