Fire Safety Month
A job well done with announcements this week!
With falling leaves there will be fun!
Old Witchy Toes!
Coming Soon- October 31st
Did you know that reading aloud to your child is just as important as having them practice reading on their own? A huge part of becoming a successful reader is building background knowledge and vocabulary, so the more you expose your child to content that is beyond the level (s)he could read independently, the better equipped they will be for improving their reading comprehension skills. You can also stop to model your own thinking [(ie): I wonder why the character...]
Of course, students should continue to read books on their own, too, and if your child comes to a word (s)he doesn’t know, try not to give them the word right away; ask them to tap each sound and blend to read, or say each part and put them together. Then, they can reread the sentence to see if it made sense!
FOURTH GRADE PHYSICAL EXAMS: I almost have them all! If you have a child in fourth grade and have not sent in an updated physical exam, please do so asap. You can send in a backpack, attach it to an email to me (jstiles@mpsd.org), or ask the pediatrician to fax the most recent physical to 781-834-5071. Thank you!!
SNACKS / WATER BOTTLES: Please send your child to school each day with a healthy snack (including short days on Wednesdays) and re-fillable water bottle. If it helps to remember, some students pack five snacks in their backpacks on Monday for the whole week!
COLD WEATHER: The weather is changing, please dress your child in layers. The building can run warm, and the outdoor temperature can drastically fluctuate this time of year. Also, chapped lips are on the rise. Feel free to send in a chapstick (label with initials) for your child to keep in his/her desk or backpack to apply several times throughout the day.
Please reach out with any questions / concerns and have a great weekend!
