Home Support:
Your child now has a Prodigy account! This is great math learning game and app that your child can use to support the math concepts we're learning this year! A page with their sign in information went home. While not required, I really encourage you to let your child use it! There are contests and challenges that will be on there!
Virtue Focus: Self Discipline
This week we'll be discussing what self-discipline looks like in daily life. You can encourage this at home by asking your child to give ways to show this virtue through their homework, chores, and extra curricular activities. We'll specifically be using Halloween Trick or Treating as an example of showing self-discipline in having good manners and making smart choices.
