Often parents ask what they can do to help their child be more successful. Here's a few tips:                         

 

** Read nightly with your child. 

 

** Practice addition and subtraction facts for speed and accuracy.

 

** Check Planner daily to see what the homework is.

 

** Check homework daily.  *** Discuss any problem areas and correct mistakes. 

 

** Review with your child the graded papers that are returned in Friday's Progress Report envelope.
