- When children use the three ways to read a book: reading the pictures, reading the words, and retelling the story, they become independent readers for exptended periods of time. (G. Boushey and J. Moser, 2006)
- To improve a child's reading comprehension, have him/her focus on these areas: make connections, predict/infer, ask questions, monitor for difficult words and ideas, and summarize.

- The Internet is filled with fun ways for children to build their vocabulary. Here are a few sites that will get your youngsters excited about learning. (Remember to monitor your children's time on the Inernet and review each site to determine its appropriateness.)

Dear parents,
This week is a short one, and it will be gone before you know it! Tomorrow we are having our Multicultural Day feast. This fun event is an excellent opportunity to learn about each other's heritage, family traditions and favorite food. Students have been writing about the recipes they are bringing and describing them to the class. They have also been creating flags of their recipe's origin.
The service project for the month of November is the Thanksgiving food collection. Students were asked to donate non-perishable canned goods and money to aid St. Justin's parish in providing dinners for over 700 local families. If you have any last minute donations, please bring them in because there will be a final "pick up tomorrow after school. Again, I would like to thank you for all your support and generosity!
Have a wonderful, restful, and safe Thanksgiving!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Humphries
