Pastries with the Principal: Lexia

During October's Pastries with the Principal, Jill Lausch walks parents through the purpose of the Lexia Core5 Reading app and how to support our kids while they are using it. Core5 provides a structured and systemic approach to six critical areas of reading: Phonological awareness, phonics, strutural analysis, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

Learning From Home Tip for Parents

Learning From Home Tip for Parents

Learning From Home Tip for Parents
Give mealtime a math infusion. Do your kids like to help out in the kitchen? Meal prep is the perfect time to get children counting, measuring, estimating, comparing, and recognizing shapes. Ask your child to measure and count cups of ingredients, count how many plates and utensils are needed for the whole family, and figure out who has more or less mashed potatoes. Get creative with math during cleanup time, too: you can have your child name the shapes of the dishes and sponges, count the number of steps they took to complete the cleanup task, and predict how many dishes will fit in the dishwasher. (Want more ideas? Download this free tip sheet for 24 ways to have fun with math at home.)
