Picnic
The staff of the Primary Learning Center is working on plans for a Classroom Family Picnic that will take place in June.  As the school year comes to an end, it is time to celebrate the super accomplishments of our students and families.  We have had a wonderful school year.  The support that our families have given us across the board has been truly appreciated.  More information will be provided by your classroom teacher.  We hope you will be able to join your child, his/her classmates, and teacher. It is sure to be a special day.

Keys to Building Responsibility
 
 
Give your child responsibility.  One of the best ways to help children learn to be responsible is to give them responsibilities of their own.  Try the following: *Create a  chore list.  Assign age-appropriate tasks that your child can do.  *Involve your child in the process.  Let them choose some of the jobs they would like to do.  *Keep track of your own responsibilities with a “to-do” list and encourage your child to make a list of their own.  *Make time to help your child learn to take responsibility.  Don’t rush through explanations.  Make sure they understand what they are supposed to do.  Break new chores into smaller steps while your child learns how to do the entire task.  *Allow your child to take some risks.  Don’t automatically assume that they can’t do something.  *Be prepared for mistakes.  Talk about what went wrong and how your child can learn from the experience.  *Praise your child when responsibility is demonstrated.  *Be patient.  According to research, it takes 21 repetitions for an action to become a habit.
