Tips for Kids
By Amy Zerello, Reader’s Digest
The season you either love — or love to hate — is in full swing.
Multiple teachers at Sauk Centre Elementary School have been
TCIT trained and are currently using TCIT in their classrooms.
All of our pre-k through 2nd graders teachers have received
training and are being coached in their classroom on a weekly

go out to play.

play games that increase their reading and math skills. Students
are recommended to attend this program by their classroom or
literacy teacher. Every Tuesday and Thursday students will meet
from 3:00-4:15 p.m. to play games which increase their reading
and math skills and complete some or all of their homework (if
they have any). Students are provided with opportunities to ask
portunity to use school technology (computers, I-Pads, Chromebooks, etc.). Staff uses games, computer applications, and

3. Be clever about clothing choices. When sending kids off to
school or out to play, make sure they’re dressed warmly in layers
that are wind- and waterproof. If possible, opt for wool instead
