CIS Family,
I hope you all enjoyed the day commemorating Labor Day. Labor Day was started over 100 years ago to celebrate the "social and economic contributions of American workers." http://www.dol.gov/laborday/history.htm
|
The Learner Profile for the Month of September is:
Knowledgeable
Knowledgeable students develop and use conceptual understandings, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines.
Students engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance.
Activities for parents
- Encourage your child to read books at home that correspond to the topics being covered in school.
- Ask your child about what they are learning in school and engage them in conversations about it:
"Why do you think that is an important thing to know about?"
"Can you think of anything happening in the world today that might be similar to that aspect of History?"
- Encourage your child to become familiar with current events and to read the newspaper and watch the news when appropriate.
