As you read with your child at home, think about what great readers do. Help your child use these strategies when they read to you:
1. Read the title of the book and think about what they already know and what they might read about.
2. Say the beginning sound/part, the middle sound/part, and the last sound/part of a difficult word, then blend it together to
read the whole word.
3. Always read for meaning. Your reading must look right AND make sense.
Respiratory viruses are on the rise as we enter the winter months.
Here are some strategies to keep in mind to help stop the spread!
Practice hand hygiene frequently with soap and water or hand sanitizer.
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, or if a tissue is not available, cover them with an elbow, not a hand.
Clean high touch surfaces in your home frequently with household disinfectants.
Keep children home from daycare or school who have fever, especially with a cough, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, congestion, runny nose, or sore throat, until they are fever-free for 24 hours without medications that reduce fever.
Avoid social gatherings if you or your children are ill.
HEIGHTS AND WEIGHTS (BMI): GRADES 1 & 4: Heights and weights with BMI calculations are part of the MA DPH mandated school screenings. Heights and weights will be done on all children in GRADES 1 & 4 next month. If you have a child in one of these grades and wish to have them opt out of this screening, please send in a letter to the school nurse by November 11, 2022. The results are not shared, only recorded in the child’s school health record.
Please reach out with any questions / concerns!
