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.
