FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE

一对儿女就读于P城的Community Park Elementary School, 每周四带回来校长办公室编写的NEWS LETTER, 报告过去的一周以及下一周值得关注的EventsSchool calendarWelcome to the new familyCongratulations to students who received some prices, Events around town, etc..

有时候从中能读到一些关于教育孩子的Tips,这是我最欣赏的.下面摘引两则原文,一则是帮助孩子Deal with homework:

  • Begin at the beginning. Teach your child to break large projects into small, manageable parts.

  • List study goal. Before each study sessions, your child should make a to-do list. He/She can post the list and cross off finished tasks.

  • Play beat the clock. Have your child estimate how long homework should take. Then set a timer and challenge him/her to “beat the clock”.

  • Organize material. It’s hard to study when you can’t find supplies. Make sure your child has an organization system that makes sense to him/her, such as color-coded folder for each subject.

  • Review early and often. Instead of cramming the night before a test, review material immediately after class and then every few days.

 

另一则是一些具体的PHRASES 用于鼓励孩子:

Phrases that demonstrate Acceptance:

“I like the way you handled that.”

“I’m glad you enjoy learning.’

“Since you are not satisfied, what do you think you can do?”

Phrases that show confidence:

“I have confidence in your judgment.”

“That’s rough one, but I’m sure you’ll work it out.’

“You’ll figure it out.”

“Knowing you, I’m sure you’ll do fine.”

 

Phrases that Focus on Appreciation:

“Thanks. That helped a lot.”

“It was thoughtful of you to…”

“I really appreciate…, because it makes my job easier.”

“I need your help on….”

 

Phrases that Recognize Effort and Improvement:

“I see that you’re moving along.”

“Look at the progress you’ve made.”(be specific)

“You may not feel that you’ve reached your goal, but look how far you’ve come.”
