Safety Drills For April
This month, we will be practicing two safety drills. We will practice how to evacuate the building in case of fire, and a shelter drill to practice for in the event of a tornado. These drills help us teach students the processes needed to be successful during a possible emergency and ensure that we are prepared in case of an emergency.
A Dollop of Dyslexia
Praise Gives Power Criticism Kills
A person with dyslexia needs a boost to their self-confidence before they can learn to overcome their difficulties. They have already experienced failure and deep down they often don’t believe they are capable of learning.
To re-establish self-confidence provide the opportunity to succeed and give praise for small achievements.
Don’t ask person with dyslexia to read aloud
Words are likely to be misread or skipped, causing embarrassment.
