Whittier Weekly

Week three!
Parents, Families, Guardians:
We are definitely getting into the swing of things here at Whittier. We hope you are too back at home! Home routines and sleep schedules are vital to ensure your son/daughter is ready for learning the next day.
We all want the best for your children, but we are not enough. You, the parents, must play a key role in the education of your children. Your words of encouragement, a hug when the day has been rough, your interest in your children’s work, and your presence at school are vital!
Here are some simple things to ask when inquiring about the school day:
1. Tell me the BEST part of your day!
2. What was the hardest thing you had to do today?
3. What was something that happened today that made you laugh?
4. Tell me about what you read in class.
5. Look at class dojo together - show them the pictures and have them tell you who they see and what was happening when the picture was taken.
6. Who did you play with today? What did you play?
7. What's the biggest difference between this year and last year?
8. What is a rule that is different at school than at home?
9. Who did you sit with at lunch?
10. Can you show me something you learned (or did) today?
Thank you for choosing Whittier. We are honored to work with your children everyday.
