T.E.A.M. Work!

 

Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things,
but just look what they can do when they stick together.

~Vista M. Kelly

 

T.E.A.M. is an acronym for Together Everyone Achieves More. Make this a family motto. Obviously, you want to help your child succeed in school. You can do that. So can the rest of the family. In a few days, you will read about specific ways to get the whole family involved in learning. Today, sit down and discuss commitments each family member can make to be aware of and involved in what is going on academically in your child's life.

Many projects at home and at school can involve the entire family. Every person can contribute something. Let your child contribute, too, to your endeavors. The more you open up communication for the whole family, the more support everyone receives. Decide today that the success of your child is important and worthy of everyone's effort.

 

Exercise: On a sheet of paper, or on the corresponding page in the Workbook that accompanies this book, if you have it, together with your child, write down your commitments.

 

See our workbook at www.365TeacherSecrets.com for a sample page for you and your child to write down your commitments.
