Rules for kids this week

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, Sr. Catherine at STM School always publishes two rules from Ron Clark's Essential 55 Workbook in the Wednesday note. If you have not yet purchased this book, make it a Christmas present to your family:

Rule 12: In School, your child my be asked to evaluate another student's work. When grading other students' papers, giving someone and incorrect grade, whether it is higher or lower than the student derserves, is unfair and may result in a penalty to your child's grade. Make your child aware that the only marks she should make on others' papers are an "X" and the number of answers that were incorrect.

Rule 13 for the week of November 21-December 2: When your child's class reads together, your child must follow along. He must be prepared when called upon and know exactly where to begin immediately reading aloud.
