KPBSD Migrant Ed Art Contest!
"Migratory children and families will successfully navigate their educational journey"
It could be fishing, berry picking, reading while you fish, etc! Incentives will be awarded for every response, with a grand 'prize' for our winning submission. Plus, we'd love to have a library of student-created art work to use in future publications. So, get those crayons out and get drawing! Please send your artwork to jkraszeski@kpbsd.org.
Migrant Ed Parent Survey - your feedback is important!
The Alaska Migrant Education Program is conducting its annual study of the needs of families of migratory children and youth through the Migrant Parent Survey. This survey can be completed online and will remain open through March 31, 2022.
IditaRead In Full Swing!
With IditaRead, students are challenged to read and/or ski a total of 1000 minutes for the duration of the challenge, tracking their progress along the Iditarod Trail. If you missed this program this year, please be on the lookout for it next year. It's always a good time to read, though, and to challenge yourself to read more!
Family Tip - "My child dislikes reading!"
- If you can, try to learn why your child dislikes reading. Is reading too difficult, too pressured, or too quiet when your child prefers being active?
- Have a non-judgmental conversation with your child. Can he tell you what he doesn’t like about reading? Knowing what’s wrong is a good place to start in turning this around. Can he tell you anything he likes about reading? This knowledge will provide something to build on, to reinforce.
- You may want to speak with your child’s teacher to see if your child needs extra help with reading skills. However, there is much you can do at home to help your child.
- Many children have what Judy DeLoache of the University of Virginia and her colleagues call “extremely intense interests,” which they define as a long-lasting passionate interest in a category of objects or activities. Your child’s interests are the launching pads for helping your child enjoy reading.
