The newsletter provides information about upcoming school events in November and December, including half days, holidays, progress reports, and a candy cane fundraiser. It encourages parents to read aloud with their children daily and discuss what they are reading to help build reading skills. For math, it discusses exponents and fractions and provides games to play at home to review skills. It suggests discussing math homework and having children explain how to solve problems to make math relevant outside the classroom.

children do math, then it becomes
something you only do at school.
Then you don’t even think about
using it in real life. Math will
play a role in your child’s life
forever so make it fun!

child to review skills they
