Spatial reasoning is the ability to visualize shapes, sizes, and positions of objects. Give your teen practice! Have him load the dishwasher, pack items in boxes/suitcases, or fit recyclables into the bin. They’ll have to picture what could go where and how everything will fit.
Last week, Dee Dee Webb led a great session for our Teacher Induction Program, where mentors and mentees learned about 4 different technology tools to help educators be more efficient and effective! @DWebbTech #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
While reading novels for class, encourage your teen to keep pencil and paper on hand. They can jot down their reactions to events, questions they have, or unfamiliar words to look up later. This will boost their comprehension and help them do better on tests and quizzes.
Grayson County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 18, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Show your teen some love this weekend by spending some one-on-one time together doing simple things. Make a breakfast date, and meet for waffles in the kitchen. Kick up your feet and listen to music together. Or browse through family photos and share memories.
Remind your child to take notes in math class and write down how the teacher got from one step of a problem to the next. If they're unable to follow the explanation from step to step, they should speak up before the teacher moves on.
GCMS Parents/Guardians: Please help us spread the word about our small, targeted group Fridays in January. (Read this graphic) Remember, most students are at-home/NTI. Thank you! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Here’s an idea that can help your teen start an early morning workout routine: Sleep in workout clothes! Wearing a t-shirt & shorts or leggings to bed is comfortable, & it will save them a step in the morning. Waking up ready to go may be just the motivation they need.
Another great day of in-person learning at GCMS! Opportunity > Obstacles #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
GCMS Students are focused on growth mindset this week. We're learning to take a year filled with obstacles and turn those into opportunities! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Great week of in-person learning at GCMS! Very proud of our students for picking right back up where we left off! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Homemade vegetable soup is a tasty & inexpensive way to encourage your teen to eat more veggies. It is a comforting way to warm up too! Try making soups from other cultures. Your teen could make a spicy bean soup from Mexico or a hearty minestrone soup from Italy.
Congrats to the 7th Grade Boys Basketball Cougars for a big win over Butler Co. last night! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Is your teen a techie? Suggest that they take an online class to learn a new technology skill. Perhaps they could learn to build a website, design a mobile app, or write a computer program. These skills would carry forward into their career. #GCMSOpportunity
