Ways to Help Your Child
Read aloud to your child. 
Establish a school night routine. Children are more likely to do well at school if their schedule at home is
predictable, manageable and allows for the proper amount of sleep. Talk to your child about his/her learning
experience at school.
Provide varied learning opportunities for your child at home and within the community. Attend school functions,
parent teacher conferences, etc.
Limit time in front of the TV as well as non-educational computer games. Monitor your child's diet to be sure she/he
is getting nutritionally sound choices. Consider replacing "junk" food with healthful selections for snacks.
Help your child make connections between math and the real world -- sort, make patterns, count by ones, twos, fives
and tens. Make sure that your child gets to school on time. If your child rides a bus home from school, please be on
time to meet the bus. Help your child to develop a positive attitude toward school. Watch what you say -- children hear
more than you think! Be sure to send an excuse after each absence.
Please send all money to school in an envelope clearly marked with your child's name and the purpose for the money.

Mrs. Reilly 4th Grade Class
Conferences were a huge success in November. Thank you for continuing to support your child. Your time and attendance
was certainly appreciated! Can you believe the year is passing us by so quickly? I continue to see an amazing amount of
effort from the children. Not only are they respectful and courteous, but they are eager to learner new things!
In December we will wrap up Chapter 7 in Math, Theme 2 in Reading, and Chapter 16 in Science.
As the holidays get closer and we all get busier, please remember to check your child's homework notebook nightly.
Happy Holidays to all!
