Welcome to the month of February! We are moving full speed ahead and teachers are working hard preparing your child for the next grade level and end of year assessments; and we need your help! Please make sure that you are checking your child’s backpack each day for homework and other important information. I also encourage you to set a specific time each day for you and your child to complete homework and to read daily. I also encourage you to visit our Holmquist web page for additional educational resources that can help your child at home along with educational sites that can help reinforce skills they are learning at school.
Leader In Me - Habit 2
Our students are learning about Habit 2 Begin with the End in Mind. Begin with the End in Mind means to begin each day, task, or project with a clear vision of your desired direction and destination, and then continue by flexing your proactive muscles to make things happen. Expect your child to use words and phrases like clear outcomes, goals, and having a plan. You can encourage your child by using these words at home.
The Leader in Me is an approach to developing a culture of leadership in our school. The Leader in Me model emphasizes skills that parents, teachers and business leaders want and that students need to be successful in an ever changing society.
