🎉📚 Mrs. Emily’s PreK class had a great time celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday! The students enjoyed reading their favorite Dr. Seuss books and even tried green eggs and ham. 💚🍳 It was a fun day filled with stories, smiles, and a little Seuss-inspired adventure!
Add to responsibility one day at a time
Here's a game to play with a calendar to encourage your child to act responsibly. Make a list of important daily behaviors—getting up on time, reading, tidying up. Let your child add a letter of the word "responsible" to the calendar each day after completing all tasks. When the calendar says R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-L-E, do something special together to celebrate.

Try a silent solution to encourage tidy habits
Help your elementary schooler learn that completing a task includes cleaning up afterward. If your child's messes get out of hand, announce that you are expecting a visit from the silent custodian. Your child should prepare by tidying up. Whatever isn't picked up by a time you set goes into a box marked "silent custodian." In order to get an item back, your child must complete a chore of your choice.

Name-calling is no joke
Kids have called each other names for centuries. But families and schools should not ignore it. Persistent name-calling and name-calling with an intent to hurt or isolate are forms of bullying. Teach your child that this behavior is hurtful. Don't accept "I was just joking," as an excuse. Voice your disapproval when you hear your child putting another person down.

The COPS checklist helps students catch writing errors
Before your child hands in a writing assignment, go through the COPS checklist for proofreading together. C is for capitalization. Does every sentence start with a capital letter? Are all the proper names capitalized? O is for overall appearance. Is the paper neat and easy to read? P is for punctuation. Are the sentences punctuated correctly? S is for spelling. Has your child double-checked any word that looks tricky in a dictionary?
