TRICK & TREAT & HAVE FUN

KEEPING TO THE TUNE 

OF THE CLASS

Slow down for some of the students in your classroom.  Don't make them feel that they are dragging their feet and aren't apart of the whole group.  They just need that special helping hand from you the, TEACHER, to understand that not everyone is going to learn at the same speed.  Make sure that they are given the extra time and attention they deserve as part of the whole class.

SHEER J O Y!!!

Children need the opportunity to have the freedom to explore environments and new things on their own.  The excitement they get from feeling, seeing, hearing, touching, and possibly tasting new things gives them such an added interest in the topic they are studying.  I always try to include something that will catch their interest at the beginning of a new topic to instill excitement about the topic. 

It is very important that students learn the importance of holidays through the study of history.  They need to recognize why there is a holiday--not just that we have a day off of school, but their is a reason in our history that our forefathers felt it was important for us to celebrate the significance of the meaning behind the holiday.  That not all holidays have to do with gifts and candy.

 W O N D E R M E N T

That word is depicted so well in the little boys stance and facial expressions.  This is something that happens to so many of our students daily in our classrooms and they don't know how to express it to us.  So they sit all confused and randomly try to do the problems that they don't understand.  Some Teachers take the time to work individually with their students and those students benefit from that and that wonderment disappears.  Then you have the Teachers that don't take into consideration individual student work time is necessary and those students suffer.  Your child deserves to have individual time from their Teacher, ask for it.

W H O O O O O IS READY FOR A 

GREAT WEEK????

Every couple of weeks I like to change the routine on Monday and it is fun for the students.  Sometimes they are a little worrisome from the weekend and a little change, I find, really can put that pep back into them.  Plus it gets them enthusiastic for the rest of the week.  It is fun for the Tutor, also.

WEATHER & STORMY CONDITIONS

Getting prepared for a Hurricane can be a frightening experience for a child.  It is important as you are preparing your house that you also take the time to prepare your children and let them know what a Hurricane actually is.  It is a great time to actually teach them about a Hurricane system and what causes them.  What are some of the things that possibly could happen if the Hurricane was suppose to come in the path of your home.  Decide as a family what you actually will do in a calm way so that everyone will know about it ahead of time.  Assure them that as a family that you will all gather together so that no one will be alone.  Also be positive and reassuring you never want to develop fear in them.
