Field Days are just around the corner and will be announced at a later date. As you may know, April is Child Abuse Prevention Month in our state. One of the nicest things about being a parent is that you don't have to know everything. The job, like the child, grows gradually. Just make sure the chores fit each child's capabilities.
Nothing makes a child lose interest faster than having to do something too difficult or too easy.
Parents, I have lots of information on preventing child abuse as well as disciplining tips. To kick off RIF week, students were encouraged to participate in the National Reading Celebration Contest. This is a special RIF activity that challenges children to read as much as they can just for the fun of it. During the two weeks prior to RIF, children who participated in the contest spent a required amount of reading time. The required reading time was based on the child's age or grade level.
