The Parent Zone
How can I help my student through the process of learning?
This list is adapted from one provided by the California State PTA, and is a good starting point:
- Set up a daily family routine, including healthy eating and sleeping habits
- Provide a place and time at home for homework
- Check on assignments, homework and projects
- Talk each day with your child about his/her activities
- Promote literacy by reading with your child and by reading yourself
- Limit and monitor TV watching, gaming, social media and non-school related computer time
- Express high expectations and standards for your child’s learning
- Participate in decisions that affect your child’s education
- Tap into on-line resources with virtual visits to a library, museum, zoo or theater
- Encourage participation in hobbies and activities: art, music, building, and making
