RICHLAND REFLECTIONS
Week of 11/14/22 at Richland Elementary School
November is a wonderful time to practice a life of gratitude and service to our community. Richland thanks all past and present veterans for their service. It was a special week with visits from family veterans and creating a wall of honor. Please enjoy highlights below including pictures and a video of students thanking family veterans.
We truly came together as a community for our food drive and donated 987 pounds of food to the Quakertown Food Pantry! Thank you to the staff and student service learning leadership team and parent volunteers for organizing and delivering donations. See highlights below.
Thank you to our amazing parent community for the staff lunch you provided last week during parent conferences! Thank you for your part in making Richland the amazing community we are. We value your partnership.
As a reminder, each newsletter contains an opportunity for you to express your gratitude to Richland staff members. Look for the Shout Outs image below. Shout outs are shared with staff each week.
Enjoy your week!

ALICE DRILL ON FRIDAY
We will conduct an intruder this Friday afternoon. Again, students and staff will always know ahead of time that we will have a drill, and teachers will prepare students. We do this in a way that does not scare students but prepares them to follow adults' directions. Alert and Inform are key pieces to a drill, and I will make a building announcement with a scenario. Based on location, staff will then decide to Evacuate the building or Lockdown in their classroom. Whenever possible, we evacuate. More information can be found on our website here.

MATH UPDATE FROM MRS. FROSHOUR
WAYS PARENTS CAN HELP WITH MATH
How many of these 11 Ways a Parent Can Help with Math are you using already?! I especially love the closing statement: Point out ways that math is part of real life!!! Math is all around us and an important life skill.
Parent-Teacher Conferences are this month. Home and School is a partnership and parents are the most important part of their child's education. They are the ones that set the tone for education. How can you help your child with math at home? Here are a few take-aways and tips you can do with your child at home today.
Parent Tips for Math at Home
1. Be positive about math.
• Have a supportive attitude
• Celebrate your child’s achievements
2. Ask questions about topics.
• Read homework problems with your child
• Reach out to the teacher when your child struggles
3. Play games.
• Have a family game night with your child
• Battleship, Dominoes, Monopoly, Sequence, SKIPBO, and UNO are good choices
