Parents' Page
Welcome Parents!
I hope to make this website just as useful for you as it is for your child. Students can only benefit when their parents are involved in their learning. Now, I know it's been awhile since you've been in elementary school. With the fluid nature of the educational system and its strategies, some of the ways you learned to do things may have been modified or changed for the better with evolving research. So, if your child brings something home that you are unsure of how to help with, I hope you can use this site to refresh your knowledge or maybe even learn something new.
I believe that when you and your child research something new together, it can deepen the learning process. Life should be a never-ending journey of learning. I encourage everyone to find out something new each day.
A professor once told me, "I read every single night because I am afraid of being just as dumb in the morning as I was the night before."
So, get out there, explore, learn something new, and help your child do the same!
To help with the journey:
These are just a few free sites I use to help me learn something new everyday. Hopefully, they hold something of interest for you too.
Videos on many different subjects: Khan Academy
Learn a new language: Duolingo
Talks about almost any subject you can imagine: TED Talks
