Many parents and teachers will say that this may be one of the most stressful times of the year.
There are Christmas programs, exams, shopping, cooking, traveling and more. Many teachers have to get the semester grades in. Parents may be rushing to find that “ugly sweater” that was requested at the last minute. Students may be stressed about having to take their first semester exam ever.
Make sure you help your student stay ahead of what is coming up this week. Take time each night (maybe at dinner) to check the week’s schedule. This helps you stay up to date and prevents you from running around town like a crazy person for last minute items and supplies.
I hope to have my Christmas mini courses posted this week. I will be offering a review course for grades 2 to 3 and grades 4 to 5 during the holidays. I will be posting a link soon.
