We've gained support from PtoP

PtoP stands for Parent to Parent. We are fortunate to have gained support from the Parent to Parent team. This group will be coming in to lead story time for our toddler room and preschool room. The Parent to Parent story time falls under our workshop titled "GLU" which stands for growing, learning, and understanding. This workshop was created to model how to develop early literacy skills in children from birth through second grade.

Parent to Parent also presents some awesome workshops that are right up our alley! We are hoping to incorporate these workshops into our Thursdays as well! The full list of workshops is extensive, but here is a few that are really pertinent to us as homeschoolers. Take a quick look and see what topics you might be interested in!



Learning Styles:

Everyone has a personal learning style. It may be one or a combination of ways in which

one learns best. Knowing your child’s personal learning style will help capitalize on his/

her strengths at school and at home. Learn about the various learning styles and how to

identify what style works best for your child.




Coping with the Military Life Style:

This workshop will help parents understand the importance of raising resilient children.

We will identify opportunities to build and strengthen resiliency skills in children during

times of transition such as moving to a new place and starting a new school.




Time Management:

Now that school and after school activities are in full swing, it is time to get organized!

We all know it takes careful planning for parents and kids to accomplish all the

necessary tasks that are required of school, sports and activities over the course of a 24-

hour day. This workshop will provide parents with a range of tools and techniques they

can use to help their children manage time to accomplish specific tasks, projects and

goals.




Test Taking

Planning and preparing for standardized tests can help relieve the stress some children

feel prior to the testing period. The truth is testing is something that all of our children

are going to have to endure, just as we did growing up. So what can we do as parents

to help our children be the best test takers possible? As with most things in life, if we

understand the why and the how of something it is easier to deal with, and that goes for

testing as well. In this workshop parents will learn proven strategies to help their child do

the best they can on these required tests.
