Parent Resources
This page is here for parents who want to insert themselves into their child's learning. I've found that most parents just want to send their kids to school and don't know what they are learning in school. When students return from school there is often a disconnect between what the parents see and what we do. That is why I feel it is very important for you the parents to take an engaging role in your child's education. The following links can help you with different ways to possible help your child.

A great way to start getting into your child's learning is through what they are reading! Find a few books you think they might like and get them for them.
Encourage their reading and when they are done reading ask questions about what they read!

Because of the multitude of student that are in our class it is important to understand everyone! This website has some information about people that have ADHD. If your child mentions
 someone in class was being noisy or is distracted all the time you may want to explain that not everyone is the same.

Another great website to talk about everyone's variations

This website talks about bullying prevention. As a part of understanding everyone else students must know and understand that their words and actions
 can harm one another and that its important to know. I believe that it is a good idea for everyone parent to look at this site first without and then with their children.
Remember bullying will not be tolerated!
