Read the Fine Print
Students who regularly complete and turn in homework assignments perform significantly better in school than those of similar ability who do not do homework (Olympia et al., 1994). Homework is valuable because it gives students a chance to practice, extend, and entrench the academic skills taught in school. Parents can be instrumental in encouraging and motivating their children to complete homework. This homework contract intervention (adapted from Miller & Kelly, 1994) uses goal-setting, a written contract, and rewards to boost student completion (and accuracy) of homework. Students also learn the valuable skills of breaking down academic assignments into smaller, more manageable subtasks and setting priorities for work completion.

INNER EXPLORER PRESENTS A MINDFULNESS APP FOR FAMILIES - Helping Parents Raise Mindful kids.
Inner Explorer is a free mindfulness app (for Apple and Android) from Inner Explorer. Hundreds of school districts use Inner Explorer's mindfulness program to help educators and students become socially-emotionally present and handle situations with calmness and resilience.
Inner Explorer @ Home is specifically designed for parents and caregivers to use with their children and features daily guided mindfulness practices for all age-groups.
THE BENEFITS AND 5 W's OF MINDFULNESS
1. What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness means paying attention to what’s happening right now with curiosity and kindness and without judgment.
2. Why Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is popular because it is very effective for reducing stress and for improving focus which helps learning.
3. When?
One can practice mindfulness any time. However, practicing mindfulness in the morning often sets the tone for a calm and lovely day.
4. Who?
Inner Explorer was designed for Pre K – 12th grade students. However, many adults utilize the program on a daily basis. Practicing as a family magnifies the benefits and creates calm and connection.
5. Where?
Practicing in as quiet a place as possible is always a good idea to minimize distractions.

Pixar's "Inside Out" is a movie that's all about feelings, and this makes it perfect for sparking discussions with kids about social and emotional learning. Since the central characters all embody a different emotion, students learn to see parts of themselves or their experiences in each character.
As we know, watching a movie can involve way more than just watching. Use the "Inside Out Movie Guide" (with lesson materials) to explore how joy and sadness can come together and make sense of the mess of our emotions.
(Grades 3–6)
***Sun West teachers can access the movie Inside Out using ACF Streaming.
