Happy Holidays! During this exciting time of year, remember to relax and enjoy your family and friends. But also remember that the beginning of a new year is a good time to establish goals for yourself and children. Organization is one area included on most of our New Year’s resolution lists. Help your children to reorganize and clean out knapsacks, binders, and notebooks, and purchase new ones if necessary. Now is also a good time to begin organizing material for midterm exams, if appropriate. Use this downtime constructively so 2014 starts off strong!
Many of our students will spend some time over the break working towards their goals. Most 8th graders applying to private schools have taken their high school admissions tests, but many are finishing up applications. High school juniors are focusing on SAT/ACT test prep, while others will start preparing in January. Finally, high school seniors are working on their college applications.
Make it a productive break and, as I tell my students, do whatever you can do today to make tomorrow easier!
Please remember to call us at Foundation for Learning if we can help you in these areas or with any other academic needs.
Happy Holidays!
