Valentine's Day:
On Wednesday, February 13, Joy Pod students are encouraged to bring in personalized Valentine cards to hand out in their responsibility classes. Your child's responsibility teacher will be sending an email in the next couple of days to let you know the student first names in their room. We ask that if students are bringing Valentine cards that they bring enough Valentine cards for all students in the classroom. If your child plans to make their own Valentine cards and you are in need of supplies, please let your responsibility teacher know as we want to make sure that all children have access to bringing in Valentine cards. Students will be able to hand out their Valentine cards in the afternoon of February 13th and enjoy reading the cards from their peers.
******Please do not send in snacks as we have many children in the Joy Pod with serious food allergies.
Writing:
How Can You Encourage Your Child As A Writer?
How Can You Encourage Your Child As A Writer?
Here are a few more suggestions to help with your child's development as a writer:
-Write down stories that your child dictates to you and then read them back to your child to help make the connection between reading and writing)
-Celebrate your child's writing efforts by displaying their writing on the refrigerator or in a frame
-Write to your child. Create messages for fun, to share important news, put these messages in your child's lunch bag, under their pillow or on the refrigerator.
-Write alongside your child. While your child is writing, you can sit with them and write your own lists, notes, letters. Let your child see you do your writing that you may have to do from work or in your business.
