LAST CHANCE to make your voices heard, Falcons! We need your feedback regarding the Falcon Roadmap to 2020-2021! Participation will be open until tonight at 9pm. Thank you all for partnering with us on this important project.
Set aside time for screen-free learning: Everyone is spending more time with screens these days, for understandable reasons. But screens aren't the only way to promote learning. Here are some screen-free things to do with your child that will help him think and learn: Play games. Plant a window garden. Design a board game. Make a family meal. Have a sing-along. Take a walk. Read. Create a secret code. Discuss a newspaper article. http://niswc.com/16fPC320271

Help your teen begin to think about careers: It's not too early for your teen to start thinking about life after graduation. Encourage her to organize her thoughts by keeping a career notebook. She can head one section, "I love to …" and another "I can't stand to …." Have her create sections for information about colleges and careers that will let her explore her interests, such as their entry requirements. She'll get a better idea of what to focus on in high school. http://niswc.com/36fOC320271
Worksheets aren't the only way to learn math: You don't have to be a math whiz to build your child's math skills. Just involve her in the kinds of math you can do easily at home. Have your child help when you need to measure something. Have her estimate the distance and time to get somewhere, then check to see if she's correct. Suggest that she make graphs of the colors of cars in a parking lot. Then do it again on another day and compare. http://niswc.com/16fOC320271

Put senses to use during spelling practice:
To help your child learn spelling words, have him write each word on an index card. Then, ask him to look at a word and spell it out loud three times. Have him "take a mental picture" of the word and put the card away. With his eyes closed, have him spell the word three times. Next, have him write it with his finger in salt spread out on a cookie sheet. Finally, he can check his spelling against the index card.

Discuss cyberbullying and what to do about it
Cyberbullying has become all too common, but you and your teen can take steps to prevent it. Let him know that you won't tolerate bullying anywhere, including online. Remind him not to share passwords. Explain that he should never respond to a threatening email or post. Instead, ask him to tell you if he receives or sees a bullying message. Keep records of incidents and bring them to school officials or the police.

Be patient as your teen 'tries on' independent thinking:
Your teen is developing her own system of values, beliefs and priorities. She may start questioning your politics, your religious beliefs or your choice of friends. She may change her own friends or interests. Don't let this "trying on" of new attitudes try your patience. Your teen is thinking about her choices for the future. Stay as calm as possible, and look for opportunities to discuss your values with your teen.

A lot of learning can happen in a little time:
Parents these days have a lot of responsibilities to juggle. Fortunately, many learning activities can fit into small blocks of time. It doesn't take long to: Look up a new word in the dictionary with your child. Help her locate places mentioned in the news on a map. Quiz each other on math facts. Review her schoolwork or demonstrate an organization technique, like using a calendar to track commitments.

Make a late night connection with your teen:
You usually conk out at 10 p.m., but your teen may be at his most alert. Late night is often an ideal time to connect with teens. There are fewer interruptions, and your teen is likely to have decompressed from his day. On your way to bed, stop by your teen's room. Ask if you can sit down for a few minutes, then wait. Your teen may be more willing to open up than he would be earlier in the day.

Reading for fun builds serious skills:
One effective way for your teen to prepare for the "serious" reading required in the upper grades is by reading things that are fun. The more your teen reads, the better and faster she'll read. To encourage pleasure reading, establish a family reading hour. Discuss your teen's interests, and help her find books and articles about them. And if she wants to watch a movie based on a book, have her read the book, first.
