A note from Dr. Kotlarz
Here are the Top 10 Tips to build children’s self-esteem:
1. Let them know you love them.
2. Teach skills so they feel able to do things.
3. Support trying new things.
4. Praise effort, not just success.
5. Praise what kids can control (hard-work), not genetics (intelligence).
6. Listen to and accept their feelings.
7. View mistakes as a time to learn.
8. Make sure children follow through with things they need to do.
9. Use household chores to teach responsibility.
10. Find and build upon their strengths.
Self-esteem is the opinion one has of oneself. It is made up of how lovable and capable a child feels. Having these two beliefs helps a child overcome set-backs and persist when the going gets tough. Self-esteem plays a large role in whether a child will be successful.
Henry Ford said “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.” Self-esteem defines how willing a person is to try new things. It impacts how he reacts when bad things happen. It also determines how content he is with his life.
In short, a person’s level of self-esteem shapes his ability to reach his goals. Thanks for all you do to help us build up our students!

Math Mentors
Calling all family members of Montclair Students! This year we are excited to add Montclair Math Mentors to our daily schedule in addition to Watch Dogs. Montclair Math Mentors ARE open to any adult family member of a Montclair student. Mentors would be assisting students across grade levels with Math based activities. Mentors would also be involved in helping in the library, workroom, and lunch room.
Ideally, we would like to have a math mentor at Montclair from 8:30-3:30 every day. However, please let us know if you would like to come for a 1/2 day too!
Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Please sign up at least ONE week in advance. Thank you!
We will be putting the link for Math Mentors in the newsletter every month.
