What a week!

Your Second Lifesaver
Please bring your binder to every class! Even though we will not be using all of the sections that you created today, it is important to get into the habit of using it properly and taking it EVERYWHERE.
The Sunday Meeting
As I taught them this week, the kids will say the following:
1. "What do you have planned for me this week?" (followed by a transfer of appointments from your planner into the planner that I provided for them earlier this week)
2. "Here is what I have planned for this week." (followed by them sharing their completed weekly planner with you)
[Special Note for split households: It is even MORE important that both parents be in attendance at this meeting! If it is not possible, please consider a conference call or Skype so that everyone is on the same page]
This meeting does not necessarily have to happen on Sunday, some families prefer to have this discussion on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, or anytime during the weekend. Regardless, it will hereafter still be referred to as "The Sunday Meeting." The purpose should be clear: your children are ready to take ownership of their weekly schedules! Please guide them in this process, allow them to make a few mistakes here and there, and show them your own personal planner so they can learn a few new tricks.
