Welcome to the first issue of LCA Parent Interlink for SY 2016-2017. A quarterly
newsletter for parents about upcoming events, homework, projects, trips, programs, etc.

FIRST PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCE S.Y. 2016 - 2017

In this complex world, it takes more than a good school to educate children. And it takes more than a good
home. It takes these two major educational institutions working together. -Dorothy RichTo support our students academically in and out of school, administrators, teachers, and families need to have
a shared understanding of their childrens learning and work as partners to meet their academic and socialemotional needs.
LCA believed that one way to foster childrens learning is through joint efforts involving both families and
schools, where parents and teachers share responsibility for creating a working relationship that will help
children succeed academically. We encourage parents to take part in the General Assembly on July 01,
2016 (Saturday), from 08:30 12:00 noon at LCA Holding Area (3rd floor). Registration is from 08:0008:30 am.

HOW TO ENCOURAGE YOUR

CHILD TO LOVE LEARNING
Talk with your child about the things you read and
hear, especially the things you find interesting.
Ask your kids how they feel about various issues (current
events, relationships, values). Allow them to have opinions
without passing judgment. Ask your children to help you
understand why they feel the way they do.
Pursue your own hobbies and interests.Share these
with your child, but do not require that he or she follow your
pursuits.
Encourage your kids to have interests of their own. If they
show curiosity about a hobby, area of study, sport, or
instrument, encourage and support them in any way your
finances allow.
Read books.Read on your own, which sets a good
example. Read to your kids, to get them hooked on books.
Have lots of books in the house. Have bookcases and show
how you value books.
Expose your child to a wide variety of experiences
including music, plays, sports, museums, travel, reading,
dance, games, food, puzzles, ethnic activities, etc.One
never knows how what exposure may influence future life
choices.
Play "thinking games" with your kids.These are games
where there is not just one answer. Scrabble and chess are
examples. Emphasize the value of thoughtful moves rather
than the importance of winning.
Remember that you are your child's best
teacher.School, educational games and television, and a
shelf full of books all can't accomplish what you can in the
education of your child. It doesn't take much effort to
inspire a child's brain in the everyday world - the place
where they need it the most.
Provide your child with free time.Children need plenty
of free time to discover and explore. Don't jam pack your
schedule with errands and activities. Give your child time
for free play, day dreaming and roaming around in the back
yard.
Start sooner, rather than later.Fostering independence
in your child is very important for their brain development
and how they feel about learning. Sometimes, activities
seem too difficult for your child only because you haven't
encouraged them to do it yet. For example, things like
peeling their own banana, picking out which shirt to wear,
and feeding the family cat, are all things that a young
toddler can do. Letting your child do things like this makes
them feel more in control of their world, which in turn
inspires them toward bigger and better exploits. When the
world is in your hands, you want to do something with it,
don't you?
Let them know that school is important by being
supportive of the school. Attend school functions,
volunteer in the classroom if possible, and communicate
with the teacher. Ask the teacher what you can do to help
your child.

Warnings
Try not to go overboard about grades. If your child

makes a low grade, don't scream and yell, but

instead show them what they did wrong and help
them understand. For good grades, don't buy big,
expensive things to celebrate (at least not all the
time). Your child will feel pressured/persuaded to do
well and will dread low grades. Giving too many
rewards also encourages bad habits and manners,
