Making Learning Fun!
When, at an early age, children look forward to going to school, learning, and being with friends, the chances are they will carry this enjoyment throughout their academic careers. You can help them by communicating with teachers, asking about what they are learning, helping with homework, knowing their classmates, and by becoming involved in the school through PTA, SIC, Test Monitoring, or just helping out by contributing snacks and goodies on special days.
You are your children's first teacher. When you get excited about learning and going to school, your children will too!
Yours in Learning,
Lori Hamilton
