Superstar families,
It was a great week here at Brook Park! The students did a great job during our bus evacuation drill. There are just a few things coming up before the weekend:
Executive Functioning:
Just a reminder, this school year we are going to be focusing on students' executive functioning skills. Each month we will give different tips and strategies parents can use to help work on these at home. The first skill we are working on is working memory–many of the strategies include playing games!
