Read, create, and retell

In school, your child will be asked to think deeply about books and to pay close attention to details as he reads. That means doing activities like analyzing characters, visualizing book settings, and retelling stories. Let him practice at home with these fun projects.

Character cereal

Have your youngster cover an empty cereal box with paper and decorate it based on his favorite storybook character. For example, The Rainbow Fish (Marcus Pfister) learns to be a good friend, so your youngster could name his cereal “Friendly Flakes.” Encourage him to draw the character on his box and describe the cereal (“Sparkly and colorful”). He could add an activity on the back, such as a quiz. (“Why did the other fish ignore him at first?”)

Setting map

Suggest that your child draw a map of a book’s setting. He’ll imagine what the setting might look like and think about how each part is important to the story. If he’s mapping Holes (Louis Sachar), he could use a circle to represent Camp Green Lake, where the prisoners dig holes. He can add an onion for the field where onions grow and are used as medicine.

Plot bag

Let your youngster fill a paper bag with items related to a story and use them to retell the tale aloud. After he reads A Chair for My Mother (Vera B. Williams), he might put a fabric swatch and coins in a bag. He can pull out each piece and explain its significance as he retells. (“I added coins because the kids saved money to buy their mom a chair. She worked hard and needed a place to relax.”)

School pride

If your youngster takes pride in her school, she’s likely to feel more connected to it—and more motivated to learn. Help her develop strong school ties with these tips:

• Make school events into family events by attending as many as you can. Your child will feel proud to show off her school to you.

• Post school news and announcements on the refrigerator. Providing a place of honor for those items reminds her that school is an important part of your family’s life.

• Encourage your youngster to get involved in a school activity. Being a member of the chess club or safety patrol squad will give her a sense of pride—and of belonging.

E xecutive function is a set of skills that help your child make plans, control behavior, and set goals. Your child’s growing brain, as Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child describes it, is like a busy airport, and executive function

is its air-traff ic control system. It allows a child to focus on an activity, remember details, and manage their time—all critical tasks for success in school.

When students miss too many days of school, they fall behind and struggle to keep up with their classmates. Whether the days missed are due to illness, truancy or for any other reason, the end result for the student is the same — learning time is lost. Children and adolescents will get sick at times and may need to stay at home, but we want to work with you to help minimize the number of days your student misses school.

Missed Days Add Up Quickly! • Just a few missed days a month adds up to several school weeks missed in a year.• Both excused and unexcused absences can make it more difficult for your child to keep up with other students,

especially in math and reading.• Kindergarten and first grade are critical for your child. Missing school during these early years makes it more difficult

for children to learn in later years and they often have trouble reading by the end of third grade.

Work with Your Child and Your School• As the parent, be strong with your child and don’t let your child stay home when it is not necessary. This will help

your child succeed.• If your child has a chronic disease, make sure that the school staff is aware of the disease so the staff can assist

your child if he or she becomes ill. Information about your child’s chronic disease should be noted on the school emergency or health information card.

• For students with asthma: if your child has asthma, the school needs an Asthma Action Plan completed by his or her doctor that includes permission to carry an inhaler at school. Make sure that all supplies (inhaler, spacer, etc.) needed to manage your child’s asthma are at the school.

• For students with diabetes: if your child has diabetes, the school needs a Diabetes Management Plan completed by his or her doctor. Make sure that all supplies (insulin, blood sugar meter, test strips) needed to manage your child’s diabetes are at the school.

• Keep an open line of communication with school staff and teachers. The more the school knows about your child’s health, the better prepared everyone will be to work together for your child.

Helpful Ideas:• Make appointments with the doctor or dentist in the late afternoon so your child misses as little school as possible.• If your child must miss school, make sure you get his or her home work assignments and follow up to see if the work

is completed and turned in.• Call the school as soon as you know your child will be absent and tell school staff why your child will be out and for

how long.• Be prepared to get a doctor’s note when requested by school personnel.• If you need medical advice after business hours, most doctors’ offices have answering services 24 hours a day to assist you.

• If your child has an emergency, call 911.

Diarrhea Frequent, loose or watery stool may mean illness but can also be caused by food and medication

NO – If, in addition to diarrhea, your child acts ill, has a fever or is vomiting, keep him or her at home. If stool is bloody, if the child has abdominal pain, fever or vomiting, you should consult a health care provider.
