Academics: how you can help! Comprehension: Ensure your child is reading every night, and ask them questions to ensure they are understanding what they are reading � Math Facts: by now, they are expected to have memorized their multiplication tables. This is essential for when we begin division. � Journaling: we write every single day at school. They need to continue the habit on the weekend and during holidays. � Reading: kids learn from modeling. Let them see you reading, and make time to read together. �

Learning Skills � Aside from academics, your child is also being evaluated in the following areas: › › › Responsibility Organization Initiative Independent Work Self-Regulation Collaboration
