Child/Parent Responsibilities

3rd Grader Means
I don’t feel like doing this right
now, so I have an idea, why don’t you
just do it for me?

3rd Grader MeansActually she did tell us
what to do, but there may be a slight chance I
wasn’t listening, so why don’t you just tell me
now.

me.

My Mission for your ChildEach and Every Day for Each and Every Child.
I will do my best each day to give your child relevant knowledge, the courage to try new things, the curiosity to seek new answers and the ability to be the best they can be.
And I plan for us to have a lot of fun in the process!
“People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing". ~Malcom Forbes
