FROM MRS. MUNSON
This week a topic to discuss with your student(s) is: “It’s ok to not know, but it’s not ok to not try”. This builds off of last week’s theme of perseverance. Trying new things can be intimidating and scary for both children and adults. It’s important to teach your child to acknowledge those feelings (all feelings are ok), but not to let those uncomfortable feelings keep them from trying something new. Encourage your child to try something new this week and not to give up if it doesn’t go as planned. Talk about how it felt to try something new, how it went, and how they felt after.
Here are a few books with this theme to read together and discuss:
· If I Never Forever Endeavor by Holly Meade
· The Pink Refrigerator by Tim Egan
· Everyone Can Learn to Ride a Bike by Chris Raschka
· The Dot by Peter Reynolds
· The Otherside by Jacqueline Woodson
· Sergio Makes a Splash by Edel Rodriquez
· I Will Never Not Eat a Tomato by Lauren Child
