Parents are You prepared for the 2024-2025 Traditional School Year
As we embark on the 2024-2025 Traditional School Year, I ask that parents prepare their students' minds to remain focused and assist with making learning fun again for our students who have lost interest in learning. As an educator who has been teaching for over 21 years now, I have experienced working with students in a more traditional setting and students with special needs. I decided to work with students with special needs and academically challenged students because the need is in high demand. I have researched and learned that some students perform better within small groups versus whole classroom learning. As students return to their new grades and classroom environments, I ask that parents join educators in teaching their children individually at home, whether it’s assisting Pre-schoolers with their colors, letters, and numbers, Kindergartners with basic sight words and reading, First Graders how to build sentences and Second Graders how to solve 2-step word problems, parents and family units have to be involved in the education of their children.
Each student is unique in their own personal way, but we as a community of educators, and families must return to the adage, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Educators cannot do it alone. Let us re-commit to our children and prepare them to be advocates and leaders for themselves and their peers so that they can learn how to be productive individuals in today’s society.
