Reading to your child or having them read to you is a true one-on-one opportunity for children to communicate with their parents and parents to communicate with their children. Studies have shown that “the more words that are in a child’s language world, the more words they will learn, and the stronger their language skills are when they reach kindergarten, the more prepared they are to be able to read, and the better they read, the more likely they will graduate from high school.”

Help your child establish a good routine by seeing that he or she gets to school on time. The beginning of the day is spent in group activities and planning for the day, which we feel is extremely important. A child who is habitually late tends to have a left-out feeling and it may affect their whole day.

Peabody Staff wants every child to get the best possible start in this important part of their education and experience with school.  We cannot stress too strongly the need for good communication between home and school for the welfare of your child. Please do not hesitate to call me or the office about any question you might have. We will do likewise.

Your Child’s Partner in Education,

Mrs. Wideman
