First Quarter Has Come To An End The first quarter report cards will be sent home November 10. The year has had a good beginning. Many things come together to make the school year successful. First, we must always remember and never forget our focus. It is only the children. The goal and outcome of public education can only be the cognitive, physical, and social development our the students. School is only about the students. Everything else are the tools for successfully reaching that goal and outcome. So, how we do school can only be driven by what the student needs to be successful. Our participation and investment as parents and educators in this great endeavor is driven by what each student needs to be successful. Second, we must always understand that effective learning and successful development requires effective and successful thinking. Dispensing and assessing information is only a piece of the task. We must use that information to teach and develop healthy cognitive processes (thinking). As the children are acquiring the facts and learning about their world, they should also be acquiring the skills of imagination, critical thinking, and, problem-solving. Examine the links below. I hope they will help with your child's cognitive and physical development.
Stay in school. Graduate. Change the world. |
