FROM MRS. MUNSON

            Strong work ethic is another important life skill to teach our children. Empower your child to take a growth mindset approach to any task they are faced with. Believing that they can do the work and then persevering to accomplish the goal is beneficial to their success at school and in life. Talk with your child about the phrase “I can try; I can start; I can finish”. Remind them of a time when they were challenged with a task. Maybe it was cleaning their room, making a lego creation, or helping someone. Praise them for believing they could, creating a plan, working hard, and finishing the work! There are many great articles on teaching children good work ethic, here is just one if you would like additional information: https://www.therealisticmama.com/teach-kids-good-work-ethic/

            Here are a few books to read with your student this week:

·       Planning Isn’t My Priority by Julia Cook

·       Time to Get Started by Bryan Smith

·       The Koala Who Could by Rachel Bright

·       Winnie the Pooh Give It Your All
