FROM MRS. MUNSON
This week discuss with your student what it means to be a team player. Learning to work with others and be a member of a team is a valuable life skill. The ability to be a team player is one of the top 10 qualities employers look for in an employee. It is important that we work together to develop this skill so our students can be successful throughout their life. Check out these articles to help with teaching kids to be a team player at home: https://ktar.com/story/280018/5-ways-to-teach-your-child-to-be-a-team-player/ and https://www.theschoolrun.com/how-teach-your-child-teamwork
