El boletín de Skyblue Mesa 2-2-10

Del Escritorio de la Principal

Estimados Padres,

La lectura, redacción, y matemáticas no siempre han tenido la misma atención en las escuelas, esto esta cambiando.

Si bien es cierto que sus niños aprenderán cómo escribir correctamente en la escuela, el mejor lugar para que ellos practiquen estas habilidades y desarrollen cariño hacia la escritura es en el hogar. Aquí hay algunas formas para que la escritura forme parte de sus vidas.

Agregue la escritura a su lista. Dedicar

importante como darles el tiempo para que lean.

Tenga las herramientas adecuadas a mano. Aunque sea importante tener materiales escolares disponibles en casa, a vees lo único que se necesita para mantener a los niños interesado es proporcionarle el papel, pluma, y cuaderno especial de su elección.

Escriba en frente de ellos. Sus niños aprenden lo que experimentan. Asegúrese de que la vean escribiendo—ya sea escribiendo una carta a un amigo, una carta de agradecimiento, un escrito en su diario, o una carta al editor.

Aprecie su trabajo. Enfatice abiertamente que su escritura es extraordinaria. Cuando ellos escriban algo creativo, divertido, o invitante a la reflexión, envíe una copia a sus abuelos y ponga el original en el rerigerador o en una pizarra para que todos puedan admirarlo.

Haga un libro. Si sus niños disfrutan de la

fotografía, haga que colecten algunas de sus fotografías predilectas y que escriban acerca del momento o haga que escriban historias cortas acerca de las fotografías. Ayúdelos a crear una pagina de titulo (destaque su

nombre son letras grandes, como el autor), agregue algunas grapas, y ellos habrán hecho un libro.

Ponga atención a las letras de las canciones. Si sus niños disfrutan de la

música, busque la letra de sus canciones favoritas. Converse acerca de lo que el escritor de la canción esta diciendo, y aliéntelos a que ellos traten de escribir

acerca de cosas que les sean significativas.

Utilice la Web. Busque algún sitio extraordinario en la Web orientado hacia jóvenes que esté repleto de juegos escritos e ideas: www.writingfix.com/for kids.htm.

Otra sugerencia es que cuando lean una historia, o vean una película, juntos pause y le haga preguntas a su niño tales como “¿que tal si?”

El escribir es mucho más que un proyecto escolar; es una habilidad esencial para la vida. Las personas que saben como expresar con claridad sus opiniones, ideas, creatividad, y conocimiento tienen una gran ventaja.

Skyblue Mesa Newsletter of 2-2-10

 


From the Principal’s Desk

Dear Parents,

The three R’s—reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic—have not always gotten equal attention in school, but that’s changing. While your children will learn how to write well in school, the best place for them to practice their skills and develop a love for writing is at home. Here are some ways to make writing part of their home lives, both during the school year.

Add writing to your list. Making time for your children to write is as important as making time for reading.

Have the tools on hand. While it’s important to always have school supplies

available at home, sometimes all it takes to get children interested in putting pen to paper is letting them choose a fun pen and a special notebook.

Write in front of them. Children learn what they experience. Make sure they see you

writing—whether it’s a letter to a friend, a thank you note, a journal entry, or a letter to the editor.

Praise their work. Make a big deal of their writing successes. When they’ve written

something creative, fun, or thought-provoking, send copies to their grandparents and put the original on the refrigerator or bulletin board for everyone to admire.

Make a book. If your children enjoy photography, have them collect some favorite pictures and write captions for them, or have them write short stories that tie them together.

Pay attention to song lyrics. If your children enjoy music, look up the lyrics of their favorite songs. Talk about what the songwriter was saying, and encourage them to try writing their own lyrics about things that are meaningful to them.

Use the Web. Check out a wonderful Internet site geared for children and chock full of writing games and ideas: www.writingfix.com/ forkids.htm.

Another suggestion is that when you’re reading a story or watching a movie together, pause and ask your child a “what if” questions.  Then ask your child to write about it. Writing is much more than a school subject; it’s an essential life skill. People who know how to clearly express their opinions, ideas, creativity, and knowledge have a real edge.

El boletín de Skyblue Mesa 2-9-10

 Del Escritorio de la Principal

Estimados Padres,

Los cambios forman parte de nuestras vidas, y es importante que los niños y las familias aprendan a tratar con ellos. El estrés de los cambios repentinos tales como mudarse a una casa nueva, escuela o comunidad, un divorcio o muerte familiar, una hospital­ización o enfermedad, o si un amigo se muda a otra casa, pueden ser agobiantes para un niño. Sin embargo, hay muchas cosas que pueden hacer las familias para ayudar.

Escuche. A veces los niños sólo necesitan conversar acerca de lo que les preocupa. No es necesario que tenga todas las respuestas, lo importante es que les deje expresarse y que les demuestre que usted está disponible si sus niños la necesitan.

Sepa que ellos saben. Aunque muchos padres creen que pueden mantener se­cretos acontecimientos tales como la perdida de un trabajo o una enfermedad, los niños escuchan y saben más de lo que los padres esperan. Lo mejor es reconocer que lo más probable es que ya se­pan y conversar con ellos. Asegúreles que usted estará disponible en caso de que tengan preguntas, y que hará todo lo posible para que las cosas sigan como normal.

Esté consciente de conductas preocupantes. Si la conducta de su niño cambio repentinamente, es una señal de que él o ella está teniendo dificultades en aceptar los cambios. Algunas señales que indican que su niño necesita ayuda son: cambios en apetito (comer demasiado o nada), cambios en sueno.

Mantenga las rutinas. Los niños necesitan seguir rutinas en sus vidas; se consuelan con ellas. Trate en lo posible de mantener tantas rutinas como pueda por ejemplo, la misma rutina a la hora de acostarse y asegúrese de que aunque cambien de hogar puedan mantener objetos familiares que ellos quieran—le sorprenderá lo que ellos elijan como recuerdo especial.

Compre el libro. Hay libros sobre casi cualquier situación que pueda enfrentar un niño. Busque libros para niños de una edad apro­piada que discutan lo que ellos están viviendo.

La información ayuda. Si su niño se está mudando a una escuela, casa o comunidad nueva, obtenga tantas fotos e información como sea posible. Trate de visitar los lugares antes de la mudanza y mantenga una actitud positiva, aun si usted misma pueda tener preocupaciones secretas. En­fatice que más adelante vendrán cosas buenas y que usted está segura de que será un cambio positivo.

Manténgase conectada. Si el cambio involucra una mudanza, ya sea de su familia o un amigo cercano, asegure a sus niños que habrán mu­chas maneras de mantenerse en contacto y que usted les ayudará a mantenerse conectados con las personas que son importantes para ellos. Desde intercambiar fotos por correo o conversar en línea mediante un chat room (bajo supervisión), sus niños apren­derán que para mantenerse cercanos no necesitan vivir cerca.

Finalmente, recuerde que usted no puede proteger a su niño de los cambios. Tratar con los cambios es una destreza que su niño necesita dominar. Por medio de escucharles, darles la informa- ción necesaria y mantenerse positiva, usted ayudara a su niño a ser más fuerte y estar mejor preparado para el futuro, traiga lo.

From the Principal’s Desk

Dear Parents,

Change is a part of life for everyone, and it’s important for children and families to learn how to cope with it. Whether it is moving to a new home, school or community, a divorce or death in the family, a hospitalization or illness, or even just a friend moving away, the stress of a sudden change can be overwhelm­ing for a child. However, there are many things families can do to help.

Know that they know. Many parents be­lieve they can keep their children in the dark about changes such as a job loss or illness, but children hear more and know more than parents expect. The best approach is to acknowledge that they have probably heard something and talk to them about it. Assure them that you’ll be there for them if they have ques­tions, and that you’re doing all you can to keep things as normal as possible.

Be aware of troubling behaviors. If your child’s behavior is suddenly different, it’s a sign that he or she is having difficulty coping. Some of the signs are changes in appetite (either overeating or not eating), changes in sleep (insomnia or constant fatigue), aggressive behavior, constant whining or weeping, nervous tics, and a withdrawal from things he or she used to enjoy.

Keep routines. Children need to have routines in their life; they’re comforted by them. Do your best to maintain as many of their routines as possible—the same bedtime ritual, for example. And make sure that, even if they’re changing households, they get to hold on to some familiar and loved objects—you might be surprised what they choose as a special memento.

Get the book. There are books on almost every situation a child could be faced with. Find children’s books at your child’s age level that discuss what they’re going through.

Information helps. If your child is moving to a new school, house, or community, get as many photos and as much information as possible. Try to do walkthroughs ahead of time and keep your attitude positive, even if you, yourself, have secret concerns. Stress that there will be new and exciting things ahead and you’re sure it will be a good change.

Stay connected. If the change involves a move, either within your family or by a close friend, make sure to assure your children that there are many ways to keep in touch, and that you’ll help them stay close to the people who are important to them.

Finally, remember that you can’t protect a child from change. Coping with change is a learning skill your child needs to master. By providing a listening ear, giving your child the information needed, and staying positive, you are helping your child grow stronger and better prepared for the future, whatever it may bring.
