Here are five tips from a national teacher of the year for parents to help their kids feel supported as they head from summer to school:
Here are five tips from Urtubey, a special education teacher in Las Vegas, for parents to help their kids feel supported as they head from summer to school.Courtesy of Clark County School District.Urtubey said co-writing a letter with your child to their teacher is a good way for teachers to get to know students, but also a good way for students to introduce themselves to their teacher. Students can talk about anything from their family to their favorite activities.
"You're carving out time at home for them to read, so that learning is enjoyable, so that learning is self-guided and self-motivated and that the child has some kind of way to share the learning at home," Urtubey said. "I think that especially during this last year, we have to make sure that all students feel joy in what they're learning."
"A lot of schools will already schedule this," said Urtubey. "I know that this is really helpful in reducing stress before the first days of school."Urtubey said when she taught fifth grade students, one way to help them prepare for middle school was spend time with them on things like switching classes or practicing opening a locker. Another way they prepared for the school year was to practice social skills to make new friends.
