How to support your child:

Check Jupitergrades

o   Personalize notifications in settings.

o   Message me periodically to monitor his/her progress.

Student work:

o  Set a time and place in the home for homework.

o  Review the quality of the work and require that s/he make any necessary improvements.

o  Ask your child what s/he learned in each lesson.

o  Have your child practice their language and presentations in front of you.

o  Monitor iPad usage:  most assignments do not require internet.  Time your child as they work on their assignments and disconnect the wifi from their device when they no longer need it.

 

Encourage a Growth Mindset:

o Encourage your child to avoid language like can't, or not good at this.  When they do, interject with "yet."  Example:  You may not be able to do it yet, but we can work towards your improvement."

o  Visit a museum or fun exposition.

o  Watch a fun, engaging, educational video.   

o  Read a book together.
