20 Minutes to Better Reading
Reading at home on a daily basis is an important step in academic achievement. There are many ways to enjoy reading, even for reluctant readers!
- Apply for a library card, and check out a book when the Bookmobile visits Winters on Tuesday afternoons.
- Buddy read - one page, one paragraph, or one chapter each.
- Listen to an audio book.
- Ask your child's teacher for ideas!
Take the 2 hour Volunteer Paw Pledge!
Winters needs your help, and 2 hours during the school year is all it takes. The research about parent involvement is clear: kids at schools with more parent involvement almost always perform better on all kinds of key measures. Every bit of help counts—so your participation at school means a lot to all of us here, especially the students.
How to Have a Stress Free Morning Routine
In the morning, children can benefit from having a morning routine chart to keep them focused on getting ready for school. Breakfast...make it easy and independent, something your child can grab and go. Foods like yogurt, cheese sticks, hard boiled eggs, or a protein bar will help your child start the day off right. Another option is the breakfast program here at Winters. All students are entitled to a free breakfast each morning beginning at 8:10 am.
Establishing a daily morning routine will help to start each day in a positive way!
Communication is Key!
