Today is Read Across America Day. To celebrate, spend some extra time
reading with your child.
Hello Parents and Families,
Please be on the lookout for the March edition of the "Helping Children Learn" newsletter. A few articles of interest are about how to make writing less painful for your child, how to boost interest in history, and four strategies for achieving learning goals. The entire newsletter always has great tips on a variety of topics that will help promote learning, social-emotional skills, and good character. We hope you enjoy this edition.

Parents,
You are invited to participate in the GMAS (Georgia Milestones Assessment) Parent Training that will take place on March 7, 2023. The meeting will be held live through Google Meets at 6:00 PM. Flyer invitations are being sent home this week. We would like for you to send back the bottom of the flyer to reserve materials that must be printed ahead of time. The materials will be referenced in the training and will go home with your child on the day of the training. We hope you will join us.
At bedtime, allow a few minutes after the light is off for a quiet
conversation with your child.
Give your child weekly tickets worth 30 minutes of recreational screen
time each. Let him or her cash in unused tickets for small treats.
Does your child need new books? Help him organize a neighborhood
book swap.
Pick a category (cities, animals) and a letter. How many items from
that category can your child name that begin with that letter?
Remind your child that you enjoy their company and love them.
Have your child write a special Valentine’s message to someone who is
sick or lonely. Help him send or deliver it.
