Mrs. Pratt’s advisory class met with Mrs. Adams’ 4th graders at Pine Ave playground today for our first meeting. We played a cone game, practiced spelling words, and played together with our new Panther Pals on the playground.
Session #1 of "Parenting the Love and Logic Way" was very informative, as we discussed strategies to use at home when our children argue or persistently plead for things.
We will be hosting 3 more sessions throughout the year, to continue building strategies to use at home. These workshops are open to all K-5 parents, 5:30-7:00pm, at Luce Road ECLC.
Please RSVP to the Luce Road Office at 989-463-1012.
