Dear Joe,
I know
many kids have been back at school for weeks now, but Tuesday was
day one for our 1st grader. She was ready to go with her
new shoes, pencils, and scissors, and was happy to return
to the classroom. Now: to keep that enthusiasm alive all year long! I'm
hoping this will be the year she really embraces reading, but
what's most important is that she maintain her love of learning, no matter the topic.
Is your
child an enthusiastic student or a reluctant one? Visit our message boards to share your concerns, questions,
comments, and advice.
Happy
September!
