Happy Friday! Each month at HMSIS we focus on fostering one of ten learner profile attributes within our learners. August brings our first focus of the year, COMMUNICATOR! [cid:a0c4d28f-1f72-47e7-917f-632d08b5d304] How can parents help to develop students who are Communicators at home? Encourage your child to stay in touch with relatives and friends who live in other countries, states, or cities by writing letters, using the phone or sending email. When working on mathematics homework, encourage your child to explain his/her answer to you orally or by drawing a picture. Ask your child thought provoking questions and encourage them to discuss them with you. For example: o What would you do if you were scared of someone at school? o Is there anything you cannot buy with money? o Should you get an allowance? Why or why not? Work with your child to improve his/her listening skills. Being a good listener is an important part of communicating with others.
