Guidance Lessons from September
The theme for third, fourth, and fifth grade students was
“learn how to get organized and be responsible for your own
learning.” Students talked about and practiced writing
assignments and activities in their planners. Students also took
a learning style inventory to find out how they learn best. Below
are some good questions to ask at the dinner table to reinforce
these important topics............
*Have you checked your planner, what homework or
activities do you have tonight or tomorrow?
*How do you learn best?
*What is the best way for you to study for a quiz or test
according to your learning stye?
*How can quizlet.com help you to study according to your
learning style?
Our first and second grade students focused more on
celebrating strengths and individual differences. Some of us can
read chapter books, tie our shoes, multiply 3 numbers, or ride a
two wheeler without training wheels. We all learn at different
rates and have many attributes in which to be proud!
