The first few weeks of school can be a challenge for students, and especially students that know multiple languages. It can be exhausting for students to be back in an English speaking school environment for 6+ hours a day. It is normal if students have forgotten some of their English and literacy skills over the summer, and we understand that. Their brains are working very hard when they are at school and it is normal for them to feel exhausted by the time they get home. To help your child through this transition it is important to make sure they have a good breakfast in the morning and get plenty of sleep at night. They may also need some down time after school to play outside, relax, or eat a snack before starting any homework they might have. You know your child better than anyone though, and if you're worried about their transition back to school this fall, don't hesitate to send myself or their classroom teacher an email. We are here to help! Warmly, Mrs. Burton Bethany ESL
