Veteran's Day
There will be no school on Friday, November 11th, in honor of our veterans. The students made cards to send to veterans. We should remember that we enjoy our freedoms because of many who gave their lives. Thank you to all of our veterans!
Positive Encouragement
As parents we spend a lot of our day trying to correct our children's actions and words. As humans, however, we thrive on praise. A good goal is to try to say at least four encouraging statements to every one disciplinary statement. "I like the way you spoke politely to our neighbor." "You did a great job helping with the dog." As an experiment, try tallying your words to your children. Count how many negative statements you make compared to how many positive. Then try to deliberately increase the positive statements you make and see if it helps your child. Encouraging words make for happy children!
