Parent Note about Reading

Remember to read to your child daily. Discuss Thanksgiving holiday customs with your child. This holiday focuses on family gatherings and food. A book to read to your child about a gingerbread cookie that comes to life is The Gingerbread Boy by Paul Galdone.

Parent Note about Writing

Makes Thanksgiving cards with your child to practice writing names. Review the rule that names begin with capital letters. Let your child try to write the names of family members and friends. Use groups of three names and practice putting the names in alphabetical order.

Math Opportunity

Parents are reminded to point out numbers in daily life. License plates, house numbers, and prices at the supermarket are some places where students can recognize numbers and how they are used for different purposes. Have fun with your child finding and naming numbers correctly.

Homework

If a student is sent home from school because of sickness, the homework for that day will be sent home with the student. As a health precaution, work does not have to be picked up daily. Students who are absent because of illness can complete missed homework when they return to school. Work will be sent home each day until all work has been completed. New skills will be taught upon the students return to school. While home, students and parents should review papers from previous work sent home in the VIP folder. Re-read sentences, re-copy math problems and practice reading from decodable books already sent home. Students can also log on and complete lessons the Compass link of the Pittston Area Home Page on the web.
