School Success Ideas for Parents

 

 

Are you part of the team?

Studies show that kids learn best when the school and parents work as a team.

Answer yes or no to see if you and the school are acting as teammates:

___1. I have met my child’s teacher. I plan to attend parent-teacher conferences.
___2. We have a regular time and place for doing homework.
___3. My child enjoys learning activities outside of school, such as music, sports and reading.
___4. I support the school in its efforts to teach my child to be responsible and respectful.
___5. I talk to my child about the importance of education and of working hard in school.

 

How did you score?

Each yes answer means you’re building a strong partnership with your
child’s school. That will help your child excel.

Teach Your Child
The Importance of Math

Math is around us all the time. And in today’s high-tech society, everyone needs a strong foundation in math to be successful. Workers need quick reasoning and problem-solving skills. They need to estimate and use mathematical thinking.

Even calculators and computers, which some people said would make math outdated, require people to have good math skills. In fact, because calculators are only as accurate as the people operating them, these machines make it even more important for people to have strong mental math skills so they can tell quickly if the answer is close to correct.

Sometimes, children don’t see how useful math can be. Parents can help. When you or your child use math in your everyday activities, point it out. Did your child glance at the clock to see how many minutes remain before his favorite TV show? That’s math. Did he figure how many weeks’ allowance it will take before he can buy a new video game? That’s math, too.
