Week 13 is here!

Micro-School is a great opportunity for us to GROW together, which will GROW our students. They deserve the very BEST we can give them everyday. School and family partnerships are key and I appreciate the work you are doing at home to make this Micro-School choice work best for your child.

As a reminder, these are the things that I can see as successfully working for many of your families:

• Students are working daily and often completing their work by 3:00 pm while their minds are fresh and energy is high.
• Many families have set up a classroom space in the kitchen/living room or other space that is dedicated to the child's Micro-School learning time. This reminds your child that school is important to your family, even when happening at home.
• Setting aside a time every school day for at least 30 minutes to READ, READ, READ. Reading skills will impact your child's learning in all areas and any time invested will allow your child to read the rewards for years to come.
• Parental engagement in the lessons- when parents get involved in the lessons students feel the importance of giving their best effort. Parents also get a better understanding of the learning goals their child is working towards.
