Happy Friday
Hello, Lions and Happy September~
It has been a hot week, both in terms of student engagement and the weather.
As you know, in the month of September, we are celebrating the IB Learner Profile of being a great "Communicator."
How can you help to develop students who are Communicators at home?
- Take turns speaking and listening to one another about your daily events.
- Explore other forms of communication including symbols, signs, and sounds.
- Read a variety of texts and find connections between the books and your child's life.
- Discuss the TV programs and videos you watch together.
- Make books, magazines, and other reading material readily available.
- Take time to listen to your child when he/she talks with you, by turning off technology and providing undivided attention.
- Ask questions about what they are saying, ask for explanations.
- Act out stories, plays, poems, use language in fun creative ways.
- Sing together.
- Support other forms of communication via art, dance, music etc.
IB students regularly deliver stimulating presentations and drive excellence in group assignments.
Catch your child being a good "communicator" and tweet it out @laspositaslions or send them for me to share.
Have a great weekend~
