Families support student success in important ways
There's no single recipe for creating a successful student. But the families of many successful students have some things in common. They read with their children. They make sure that their kids get enough sleep and exercise, and start each day with a nutritious breakfast. These families also encourage and support their children and expect them to work hard and achieve in school.

Our 4th students had an amazing time today at the UL Women’s Basketball game! 🏀❤️ They cheered loud for the Ragin’ Cajuns, showed so much school spirit, and even danced along to some of the top hit songs blasting through the arena. 🎶🙌
It was a day full of energy, excitement, and memories they’ll be talking about for a long time! Go Cajuns! 🔴⚫️🔥

Encourage your child to try to solve problems
Families who rescue their children at the first sign of trouble are sending the kids a message: "You can't do it without me." Their children never learn how to handle situations themselves. They may not even believe they can. As long as it is safe, let your child try to solve a problem independently. If one thing doesn't work, ask "What else do you think you could try?" Help your child think through the options. Then, let your child decide what to do.

Manage recreational screen use with a plan
How many hours a day does your child spend watching screens and using digital media? Are screens a distraction from healthy activities? Find out what digital media your child is watching or playing for fun. Then, set limits and plan a recreational screen-time schedule for your family. To encourage a healthy balance, help your child make a list of fun and productive activities to do when devices are off.

Reinforce precautions that help keep kids safe at school
Keeping students safe while they learn is a top priority for schools and families. To help, encourage your child to get to know all the adults at school, not just classroom teachers. That way, your student will know who to turn to for help. Explain that there is safety in numbers, and your child should stay close to friends and walk in groups in the hallways. Above all, make it clear that your child must tell an adult immediately if a student brings a weapon on the bus or to school.

🍀 4-H members, Randi K., Evy R., Adrian T., Darian N., Jameyah T., Abby L., and Lucas S., did a great job reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at the opening of town's Lighting of the Bridge event. Members also enjoyed food, games, and fireworks at the event. 🎆

Are you an 'askable' adult?
Children are full of questions, and they will seek answers where they can. Being an "askable" adult is the best way to ensure that you will be your child's primary source of information and values. Tell your child you want to answer questions. Never punish, tease or judge your child for asking a question, and don't avoid sensitive or embarrassing topics. Instead, say, "I'm glad you asked!"

Practice math and science in the laundry room
To reinforce your child's math and science skills, put them to practical use. Doing laundry together is one easy way. To practice observation, for example, ask your child, "Does this shirt feel different from that one? Why could that be?" Sort clothes by color or family member to help your child learn to classify. Encourage your child to quantify by asking things like, "Who has the shortest socks in the family? By how many inches?"

Make your holiday gathering an occasion for learning
Holidays offer your child a great chance to learn and spend time with family. So plan some activities that relatives can do together. For example, your child can learn more about family history by interviewing older relatives. Your child might ask about their arrival in this country, or about unusual experiences they've had. If your family won't be seeing relatives this holiday season, help your child write the questions down in a letter.

New experiences build reading skills
Reading involves more than sounding out words. Children use their prior knowledge and experiences to understand what they read. A sentence such as "Sam touched a prickly cactus," will mean much more to a child who has seen and felt a cactus. Fill your child's life with new experiences, and introduce the words for things you see together. The more vocabulary and concepts your child experiences, the more knowledge your child can apply to understanding reading.

Take sides to improve thinking skills
There's usually more than one side to an issue. To help your child practice seeing the pros and cons of an argument, play a debate game. Throw out a statement, such as "Homework should be banned forever." Ask your child to express an opinion on the subject, and all the reasons that support it. Then, challenge your child to list all the reasons against it. Discuss both sides as a family. Which views were more convincing?
