Yep! It's that time of the year-you as a parent made it-Congrats! So how do you prepare your child for the end of the year?
School is an important part of your child's year. The school year allows for children to learn, socialize and grow. School allows for children to be on a regular routine. For some children, it is a place where they enjoy going and for others its a struggle. This is a time of change for you, your family and your child. A great way to end the year- or close it out is to say "Thanks".
Your child interacts with many people during the day:
- The Crossing Guard
- The Bus Driver
- The Before or After Care Teachers
- The Custodian
- The Lunch Personnel
- The "Specials" Teachers- Music, P.E., Art, Etc..
- The Recess Staff
- The Admin Staff
- The Parent Volunteers at Events
- So many interactions....
Ideas for how your child can say "Thank you"
- Asking about what the school staff will do during their summer
- Telling them why they had a good year with the staff member
- Simply saying "Thank you for a great year"
- Drawing -Designing A Card
- Bringing picked flowers
- Writing a poem or song
- Baking cookies or something sweet
- Signing a yearbook
