FEBRUARY FOCUS ON KINDNESS
- Share stories of kindness (in books, movies, real life).
- Smile! The simple act of smiling can spread the warmth of kindness far and wide.
- Take turns giving genuine compliments - set a goal to give at least one per day.
- Practice "random acts of kindness". Random acts of kindness can be anything that will make someone's day a little brighter. They don't even have to know who did it.
- Volunteer - Involving kids in volunteer work teaches them that it feels good to be helpful.

CONFERENCE "TIPS" FOR PARENTS
Before the conference
Ask your child how she feels about school.
Ask your child if there is anything that he wants you to talk about with his teacher.
Tell your child that you and the teacher are meeting to help him/her.
Make a list of topics that you want to talk about with the teacher.
Prepare a list of questions such as:
- What are my child’s strengths?
- Does my child participate in class?
- Does my child work to his/her potential at school?
- What can I do at home to help?
During the conference
Be on time (or early) for the meeting and end the meeting on time. Other parents will probably have a conference after yours.
Relax and be yourself. Share information that will help you work together to help your child.
Ask the most important questions first and always ask for explanations of anything you don’t understand.
Ask your child’s teacher for ways that you can help your child at home.
After the conference
Talk about the conference with your child.
Talk about the positive points, and be direct about and concerns or areas for growth.
Tell your child about any plans you and the teacher created.
Keep in touch with the teacher.
