Parents are Partners
This is a paper you can use to help a parent introduce their child to the teacher. It asks things like: "What motivates your child?", "List five words that best describe your child's character?" and "How would you rate your child's study habits". This will help a teacher tailor an educational and motivational program to fit the needs of the child and parent. One more tool for that "home to school" connection!

This is one activity I have used with older students. Orginally, I would have my students write, cut out the pieces to the puzzle, and glue the star together. Now, to save time I have included a star that is ready to go. Enjoy!
