Fostering Independence

The best part of teaching is watching each child grow academically, physically, socially and emotionally. We as parents and teachers, nurture, protect, and guide them throughout the year. 

We appreciate your support by encouraging your child in their journey towards independence.

 

Students should begin to feel comfortable coming to the classroom by themselves each morning and leaving the classroom to meet you.

 

The students should pack up and unpack their backpack by themselves each day. This includes getting library books, homework, take home folders, reading books, and snacks.

What you can do to help:
Although it might be easier for you to unpack and pack up for your child each day, please encourage them to try and do it by themselves first. Verbal reminders are helpful instead of doing it for them. This will help teach responsibility, organizational skills and problem solving strategies.

 

Thank you for your continued support.
