ATTENDANCE DESK Did You Know? Children who enjoy school and who are engaged in school want to go to school every day. When kids attend every day they learn skills and make friends. This helps them be successful both academically and socially. Here’s How You Can Help: Regularly ask your child about school. What do you like best about your class? What would you like to change about your class? Why? Tell me about what you do before school, at recess, after school. What things are you learning in school? Tell me about upcoming family events at the school that we should plan to attend. When the answers from your child indicates there are problems contact someone at the school (teacher, counselor, principal) and ask for help addressing the problem. ENROLL YOUR CHILD FOR KINDERGARTEN & PRE-SCHOOL Information is available on the district website for enrolling your child(ren) for kindergarten and pre-school.

NOTES FROM OUR NURSE If your child has a fever, 100º or more, they must stay home until the Fever has been gone for a full 24 hours without the aid of a fever reducing medicine. If your child vomits or has diarrhea, they must not return to school until 24 hours have passed since they last vomited or had diarrhea and are eating normally. If your child has red, swollen, or puffy eyes with evidence of mucous or drainage they must not return until there is no drainage from eyes or have been on medicated eye drops for 24 hours.

KIER’S DESK Reading: We started our Cinderella Unit. It was fun to learn there was a true story about Cinderella. It was the Egyptian story. Students have homework to bring home their props and retell each story. If you have not heard it, ask them about it. Each child got their own copy of the Disney Cinderella and we will be comparing/contrasting stories, putting them in the correct sequence, and doing many fun learning activities. Math: We had our test on the big unit where we learned about subtracting three digit numbers and regrouping. This is a difficult concept and most of the students did well. Those that were not able to understand this, will have continued practice. This is a necessary skill to be able to do in 3rd grade. Thank you for your help with them as they did their homework.

Did you know that the Meadow Ridge website has a bunch of fun learning links? Below are some of our favorites: www.switcheroozoo.com www.funbrain.com DID YOU KNOW? www.kids.nationalgeographic.com It's important for kids to have breakfast every day, but what they eat in the morning is crucial too. Choosing breakfast foods that are rich in whole grains, fiber, and protein while low in added sugar may boost kids' attention span, concentration, and memory — which they need to learn in school. www.pbskids.org Kids who eat breakfast are more likely to get fiber, calcium, and other important nutrients. They also tend to keep their weight under control, have lower blood cholesterol levels and fewer absences from school, and make fewer trips to the school nurse with stomach complaints related to hunger. www.reading.ecb.org www.starfall.com www.seussville.com www.storylineonline.net www.abcya.com www.highlightskids.com www.kcls.org/kids/ebooks
