Please ask me what I did today at school. Don't let me answer "nothing." We work hard everyday. I may even be a little tired. Please ask what I did that was GREAT, not if I got in trouble. Encourage me to wonder and ask questions. Please help me if I can't figure things out, sometimes I get confused. Please read to me and with me. It helps me so much to practice what I need to work on. I'm a great kid - I'm yours!
Love,
ME
