Wisdom from the Queen Bee Mrs. Starlin
I wanted to continue some ideas for helping young children learn to read.
11 ways Parents can help Their Children Read by Timothy Shanahan (you can find this article online)
- Talk to Your kids (a lot)
- Read to your kids
- Have them tell you a story
- Listen to your child read
- Promote writing
- Ask questions
- Make reading a regular activity in your home-set aside a time when everybody turns of the TV and other electronics and reads.
Counselor's Corner with Mrs. Tucker
Building Resilence with Mrs. Petrie
Hi, I am Emily Petrie. I am one of the Education Specialists for Crawfordsville Schools and a part of the corporation’s resiliency team. I am also a parent to a Crawfordsville student. I would like to share some resources with you each month to help build resilience - the capacity to recover or bounce back in difficult times.
Did you know that mandala coloring can be a strategy for building resiliency and gaining insight into our feelings? You can guide your child through this by asking them to recall an emotional experience. It could be a good experience like a party or trip, or a bad experience such as a disagreement with a friend. Have them close their eyes and think of their feelings during that situation. Then have them color the mandala using the colors and materials they choose to express the experience. Here are some places you can find free printable mandala coloring sheets. https://mondaymandala.com/m
