As I watched the rain wash away all the beautiful snow this weekend it came to mind how little we enjoy today. We rush and rush to get through what we need to, to get on to the next task on hand. On Thursday the 3rd grade enjoyed a sledding party to enjoy the snow while it lasted. How amazing that in a week it would all be gone. I am glad that we took this extra half hour to enjoy the snow. While this is not intentional academic learning, students still learn much needed social skills and learn how they need fresh air and exercise. Also, laughter is still said to be the best medicine. Academics fall right into that enjoying today. We need to learn how to enjoy teaching our children so that they enjoy learning. Learning does not have to be sitting in front of a math book anymore. Learning is hands on and enjoyable. I encourage you to enjoy learning with your child so that they may enjoy learning!
If you would like to learn how to enjoy math, come visit Family Math Day on March 23rd. Information was sent home Friday and will be posted to the webpage soon. Email me if you need any more information or have questions! (smithm@spooner.k12.wi.us)
Enjoy today! Mrs. Smith
