Hello Book Maze community!

Wow! It’s been a challenging school year for students, teachers and parents alike! Upon returning to school we have all had to continue adjust to remote learning or returning to school, school closures, the Covid-19 pandemic and social & discrimination in the United States of America! 

Below are some tips to having a successful school year:

• Incorporate movement breaks into your child’s routine.

• Incorporate your child’s interest when picking out new books and be sure to expose them to new topics too.

• www.gonoodle.com is a great resource. Their movement breaks range from breathing exercises to guided dance routines.

• Be sure to continue to have a consistent bedtime routine and morning routines for your child to be successful at school.

• Incorporate remote social time in your child’s routine by interacting with friends and family via facetime, or zoom! They can play games, and other activities.

• Be sure to celebrate your child’s accomplishments no matter how big or small they are! 

• Be sure your child continues to have a quiet place to complete his/her schoolwork!

• Set aside some time to check in with your child and address how they are feeling in order to have a positive day.

Stay tuned for next month’s blog. Let me know what topics you would like for me to address!
