What We Can Learn from PreK

http://www.npr.org/blogs/ed/2014/11/25/366561443/what-every-school-can-learn-from-preschools

Preschool provides children
essential opportunities to grow. 

We can see students learn

to listen, manage their emotions, 

and follow directions from adults

other than family members.

A child's success later in life can
hinge on important learning
that happens in preschool.

So why not enable an entire
school to nurture the ability
for all kids to develop grit,

and develop strong work habits?

Great Books for the Young Set

"What are some good books to share with
children in Kindergarten or first grade?"

That's an excellent question.  

It's important to to offer things that
will interest youth who are developing
listening and reading skills, at a tender age.
   

  Fortunately the Parkside Media Center
is filled with terrific books and pupils
make regular visits to check-out materials.   

Of course teachers have "favorites"
in their own collections as well.  Here
are some titles that will interest children.

"Keep them reading.....you've got this!"

We can all discover additional
suggestions of books at "GoodReads:"
