Next Steps - Elementary Age Parent Education

Raising school-age children can be awesome. Watching them try new activities, cheering them on at athletic events and applauding their accomplishments at recitals are usually some of the high points for most parents. However, achieving success is often preceded by frustration and sometimes learning to accept one’s weaknesses as well as celebrating and building on strengths along the path of parenting. This course offers an opportunity for parents of elementary age children who would like to enhance their parenting skills while participating in group discussions and learning parenting strategies through the guidance of a parent educator. Parent Discussions will last for 1.5 hours. Discussions will center around topics such as Friendship & Belonging, Bullying, Independence, Organization & Responsibility. Childcare is available for younger siblings who are not in school, so that parents can focus on learning without distraction.

Is your child 3 years old? The early childhood years are an important time of rapid learning and growth. Early Childhood Screening is a FREE service offered by District 110 that will check a child’s overall development and health. Children are screened by a licensed early childhood teacher and a school nurse. Results of the screening help identify any learning or health concerns that may require attention before a child enters kindergarten. In Minnesota all children are required to complete Early Childhood Screening before kindergarten entrance, however, it is not a test for kindergarten. The preferred age to screen is between the ages of 3 and 4 years old. Early Childhood Screening includes: * A look at your child’s development * Vision and hearing checks * Height and weight measurements * Immunization and health history review Screenings take place at the Early Childhood Family Center, 520 Industrial Blvd. Register online at www.waconiacommunityed.org.

Some of the games we have played in the past: Risk, Pathfi nder, Firefl y, Heroclix, Settlers of Catan, FUDGE, Battletech, Axis and Allies, Agricola, and Arkham. We meet the fi rst Saturday of the month and usually decide a month ahead of time what we will play on game day. Due to the complexity of some of the games we may play, we ask that attendees be at least ten years old. Our only other requirements are that you abide by our three simple rules: 1) All attendees will bring a drink and snack to share. 2) The judge appointed for the game has the fi nal say--no arguments. 3) Have fun! We hope that you will come and join us on our grand adventures through time, space, and… pizza! Caution: Getting involved in this group may cause you to laugh, smile and have a good time. Your spirits may be raised. You may make new friends. Please note, the Waconia Area Gaming Society is not responsible for spaceship crashes, goblin invasions, or outbreaks of Munchkinitis. No helmets necessary.
