Teachers work hard every day to help kids learn and grow, but the learning doesn’t stop when they leave the classroom… so by doing some things at home you add to their chances for success. Set routines and goals at home, from a consistent bed time to studying specific assignments. Work in a quiet, well-lit study spot, keeping the TV and radio off until your child’s work is done. Also, start with the most difficult homework assignments, as your child grows tired they’ll have some of the harder work completed. Finish one assignment before they start the next and make a TO DO list that they can cross off as each item is completed. And finally, allow your child to take breaks. We all need breaks, it helps us regain our focus and move forward. Together, we can help your child grow and succeed.
