We still have 5 weeks of school left and the learning continues. Please help us reinforce to your children the importance of pushing hard to the finish line and being proud of their efforts. There is a Love and Logic concept called “attribution theory.” We must remind children to “attribute” their success to their effort. Because it is sometimes natural for kids to think they get “lucky” when they have success, we adults must continue to reinforce to them that their success is completely dependent on how hard they work. It is healthy for kids to grow up knowing that things don’t usually just happen – but rather, happen as a result of choices they make. Whether we’re talking about getting to school every day on time, working hard during math instruction or being kind to others, kids need to understand that relationship between their effort and their success. I firmly believe that 100% of our students can learn at high levels when they try hard. Thank you for your support with this.
