Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for parents to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!

Besides doing it for their homework, writing at home is probably the last thing your child wants to do. Yet... practice makes perfect, so integrating writing into life at home is not only possible, but necessary.  

For example, children are perfectly capable of writing a grocery list. Yes, they may add some things that you don't need, but your trip to the store will certainly be more interesting!

Do they have something they want you to remember to do for them? Ask them to write you a reminder!  Did they receive lots of birthday presents? Have them write thank-you notes!  Have them write to-do lists! Have them write wish lists for their birthday! Have them write dates and appointments on a calendar!  Don't worry so much about how they are spelling; just give them opportunities to write!

Box Tops are due soon - please send them in with your student! Each year, funds raised through the Box Tops Program provide our school with hundreds of dollars to purchase classroom supplies! The homeroom with the most Box Tops collected will receive a Dress Down Day!
