Climbing into the Atmosphere

This week, we continue our study of the atmosphere, learning about the difference between the layers and what can be found in each layer. We have a busy week, so I appreciate the support you can give at home to keep your kids on track.

Today, we had an assembly called the PRO kids assembly, where we talked about how to have good character. Making good choices in school helps everyone have a better experience in school. Sometimes, it can be hard to remember that we are dealing with5th graders, our expectations can be so high. It is important to provide the kids with reminders or a tool (like a checklist) in order to keep on track with what they should be doing. Building good habits now can help your child be more successful on their own accord later. Does your child have a routine of what to do when he or she comes home? How do you check the work that is due? Is there a calendar to write assignments down for both of you to refer to? How often do you check this site for help?
