It is more than just reading and writing…
*Make connections
*Analyze characters and conflicts
*Discuss daily
*Communicate concepts
*Apply our lives and personal knowledge
*We struggle (this is where the learning
happens)
*We work in groups
*
*Watch/read the news with your student!!
*Those who read GOOD writing are often better
writers.
*Encourage them to come in for tutoring and ask
for help on their own.
*Keep up with grades via Skyward!
*Get them to talk to you about what is going on
in class—not just how they are doing but what
we are reading and discussing too.
*If you are really ambitious, you could read
what we are reading in class!
*
*Discuss anything about your student, please
feel free to email me or make an
appointment during my conference period.
*I am more than happy to discuss any
concerns that you might have about this
year or your student’s individual progress!
*Please encourage your student to come and
talk to me as well! Parent/Teacher
communication is not the same as
Teacher/Student.
