News:
Anderson Mill has some talented artists. Check out their work
that was on display for the 2010 Round Rock ISD Elementary Art
Exhibition.
WOW!! Anderson Mill students collected over $3500 to
donate to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation! Amy
Hyman from the JDRF came and spoke to students during PE class
on January 27. Students that chose to help collected
donations for 2 weeks. Ms. Hyman returned to count the
money on February 10 as students did an Awareness Walk for
Diabetes around the track. The money collected will go to
help scientists and researchers find a cure for Diabetes.
Thank you to ALL who helped with this project! We are
lucky to have such CARING IB students and teachers!

IB Top 10- How To Encourage Students to
be a Risk-Taker and more Principled
by Rebecca Kunkel
1. Allow your child to see your mistakes and failures.
Show them how we recover from them.
2. Allow your child to fail and make mistakes. Help them
understand how mistakes provide useful information
for leaning.
3. Encourage your child
to try new things.
4. Be honest with your child.
5. Encourage honesty from them.
6. Establish chores for your child at home. This builds
responsibility and doing your part for the
family.
7. Discuss family principles and values.
8. Establish family rules and expectations, i.e.
Internet use, curfews, etc.
9. Build confidence in your child by talking about new and
unfamiliar situations.
10. Encourage your child to do what is
right when they witness someone being treated unfairly or
unjustly.
