HOLIDAY   BREAK

When children are home over holiday break they have a tendency to want to go and be busy every single day.  Even though they have just been showered with an abundance of toys that they have wished and perhaps begged for.  You would naturally sit back and assume those toys should consume every wakening minute of their whole entire break.  They might say we didn't go and do anything today, or perhaps if you did it wasn't special enough for them.  Then it is a good time to remind them to find something good in everyday and to have a nice conversation about it.  So they realize that you can find something "good" in everyday no matter how hard it might seem to be.

ENJOY  YOUR  CELEBRATION

HAPPY   HOLIDAYS

Have a wonderful HOLIDAY SEASON!!!  Find the time to spend with your child reading some good books together.  Make it extra special with some hot chocolate and some special conversations about what both of you are reading.

HOLIDAY   THOUGHTS

I am always giving you some advice or subject material on dealing with your child so I decided to soften the mood and give you something to read and delve your own meaning out of this beautiful written article.  Maybe you have similar feelings or while you are contemplating the reading some of your own to add to it.  ENJOY!!!

KINDNESS

If the world was made of KINDNESS what a wonderful world it would be.  KINDNESS has to be modeled and taught in the classroom and on the playground.  We see and read about so many unkind events happening in the world on a daily basis. We can start instilling in our students ways to take those negative thoughts and make them positive ones.  Talking and reading about events and figuring out how to handle the problems in them in a kind and fair way so that know one gets hurt physically or emotionally.  This can help prepare our students to be KIND.

PRECIOUS   CHILDREN

A scary thought of putting your child out into society or even some parents letting them go outside to play in their neighborhoods in the "heartless" time and surroundings we read about on a daily basis.  We want to teach our students how to get along, express their feelings verbally, and learn ways to deal with them that are healthy.  They need to have guidance at school, to know that it is healthy to be able to have adults that want to listen to them and guide them in how to deal with issues that are bothering them.  How easy is it for Teachers to provide stories and reading materials that they can openly discuss with the students to help them understand different experiences that could arise.  All Teachers need to make this a priority when making lesson plans and include something weekly that has to do with this topic so we can help stop this awful epidemic that is happening.

GREAT  TEACHERS

When a parent entrusts you with their pride and joy (their child) they want the best education possible for them.  They want understanding, compassion, and a true interest in the best opportunities for that individual child.  Be the GREAT TEACHER that all students deserve....
