One of the most challenging things about technology is trying to keep up with it and with our kids! I begin with an apology for the length of time since my last post. Like anything in our lives, it takes a while for something new to become a “habit.”
When we hear that word, we typically think of something negative, like the habit of eating that big bowl of ice cream while watching American Idol… but habits can be positive as well. Elementary school is a great time for children to begin to develop those healthy habits that will contribute to thier life-long learning and good health. Having a regular homework time, sitting down to a family meal as often as possible and keeping the lines of communication between home and school open are all good habits that we can foster and maintain over your child’s school career.
If you are looking for ways to help develop these healthy school habits, we are here to help! Holden’s counselor, Ms. Anita Romeo, our Reading expert and consultant, Mrs. Katrina Kelling and our school nurse, Mrs. Vicki Nichols are just a few of the people that you can contact for advice. Please feel free to make use of the many resources we have here at Holden when you are in need. Also keep in mind that, when it comes to YOUR child(ren), we recognize that YOU are the experts and welcome anything you would like to share with us to help make your child’s time here most successful.
As always, it is a pleasure to work with each of your children and with you! Enjoy the remaining days of winter!
Mrs. Troman
