Dear Parents,
With a four day weekend about to begin, I feel I may go back to school out of shape. Please be sure to have my person, your child, exercise me regularly Friday through Monday. Ever since school started, I've been building lots of connections. You see, my synapses have been firing and it feels great to work on my process instead of getting answers correct. So over this long weekend, I'd really appreciate if you encourage my person, your child, to use me regularly. Some things you could do to be sure I am used is to block off 30 minutes of reading time every day. You could also ask me about my day. After every weekend Mr. Bruff starts Morning Meeting by saying, “Tell me about the math you did over the weekend.” I’ll need to be prepared, so be sure I practice explaining to you. You could help me be prepared on Tuesday by asking how I used math during the day. Be sure to push for a deeper explanation than, "I did some math facts." Instead ask how I used math to: plan my day (elapsed time), clean my room (elapsed time, geometry, measurement), read (time ÷ pages read), or play Scrabble (computation, planning to compute, measurement, number sense). If there is not enough time to squeeze any math, reading or writing into the day, I feel I'll have a hard time adjusting back to school on Tuesday. You should know, the more I am used, the less of a hard time my person, your child, will give you. Finally, please push my person to explain how I was used each day over the upcoming four day weekend. Thanks in advance. With Gratitude, Your Child's Brain
