1st Grade parent Homework! :)

Hi!  
I am glad to be back blogging again.  Instead of copying my whole newsletter in this space I will give the highlights and assignments!  :)  

-The 1st graders had a great week back, will probably have special activity on Wednesday for filling their Good Behavior Jar for the Class.  I will let you know after we brainstorm and vote.  

-I found a good parenting information resource called  "Childhood Matters"  If you have time to spare please go to the website www.childhoodmatters.org and listen to their first show in 2009 about setting limits for our children.  If you hear anything good share it with us!  (I will do the same.) 

- I experienced the joy of putting my nephew to bed without any problems when I babysat this weekend due to the sticker chart my sister in law had created for him.  Look for details about it in my newsletter.  Please share if you have any positive experiences or questions about using a sticker chart with our children.  

Have a wonderful week and a fantastic 4 day weekend!

I just finished listening to the podcast and it was really really informative and very interesting. Can't wait to hear your feedback!

We listened to it last night and it was very informative. We have used sticker boards with our kids for a while now and it's amazing how well they work. They really enjoy putting their stickers on their boards, and after getting a certain number of stickers they enjoy picking out their prize. Of course they like getting their prizes and want more. They know more stickers means more prizes :)
