FOR YOUR INFORMATION
CPS to host high school fair at UIC Forum December 4 Event helps families learn about the high school application process In addition to the three high school admissions info sessions held No-vember 8-10, CPS will also host a high school admissions fair for 8
th
grade students and parents at UIC Forum (725 W. Roosevelt Road) on December 4 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Many application dead-lines are on December 17, so this will be one of the last chances for students to explore their high school options and apply on-site. At this event, families will be able to receive school and program spe-cific information, meet members of the staff and student body, as well as complete and submit all applications on-site. Families who attend the fair will be able to complete the entire high school application pro-cess by the time they leave.

CHRISTMAS IN POLAND Santa Claus comes to Polish kids twice in December: on December 6th and 24th. On the December 6th he leaves the presents under the pillow and children can find them in bed in the morning. Naughty kids get silver willow branches from him to make them remember to be better for parents, teachers, and friends. On December 24th he leaves presents under the Christmas tree. Christmas in Poland starts on December 24th in the evening, when we see first star in the sky. There are 12 dishes on the table at Christmas Eve supper. None of them is made of meat. We can eat meat the next day. The main dish at the sup-per is a carp. We leave one empty plate on the table. It is for an unexpected guest who can come to us because he is lonely or sad. On Christmas Eve we take a white wafer, break it with our family and wish good luck and happiness. We go to church at midnight after supper to sing Christmas

Library News
Did you know that a tom (male turkey) can weight up to 50 lbs.?
Did you know that a Bratsville turkey weighs less than 10 lbs?
Did you know that Squanto died in 1622, just a year after the first Thanksgiving feast?
Did you know that Pilgrim fathers were publicly punished for their children’s poor behavior?
You should know all these facts since the leading theme in the elementary library this November was the first Thanksgiving. We
learned about the Pilgrims and the first thanksgiving through different media: Squanto’s biography book, “Turkey that can fly and
turkey that can’t fly”: a nonfiction book, and a video about early settlers. Students made illustrations related to this theme which
were displayed in the library.
In December, the theme will be Winter Wonderland and the librarian is planning many exciting activities.

Making the Holidays Memorable and Meaningful
Routines: Why are
they important for
children and how
to set a routine for
your child. One of the most
important things that we do
at Bridge preschool to make
your young child feel safe is
to establish a routine. Chil-
dren feel the most secure
when their lives are predict-
able. Because children do
not understand the concept
of time, preschool teachers
use pictures to show the
events that are happening
and those events happen in
the same order every day. A
regular schedule gives chil-
dren a better understanding
of their world and gives
children a way to order and organize their
lives. When young children know what to
expect, they become more confident. At
preschool age, the child’s brain is still
undergoing major development, especial-
ly the part of the brain that is able to plan
ahead and make predictions. Most kids
find routines comforting and even em-
powering. When you know what to ex-
pect, there is less uncertainty about what
to do, and it becomes easier to focus on
whatever is new or different in a situation.
During holiday breaks, please try
to keep a regular schedule everyday, so
children will know what to expect . After
a holiday, sometimes it is a new begin-
ning and a fresh start for all of us. This
makes it a good time for you to establish
some routines that you think will be
meaningful and good for your child, so
when they comeback to school from the
two weeks break, they will be ready to
follow the classroom routine.
organization that works with people in your
community who have limited resources.
Choose a volunteer activity that is appropriate
for young children.
Create a peaceful home atmosphere. Reduce
the noise and clatter of the season. Plan calm
family activities such as: family dinners, even-
ing tea times, or story reading. Reduce noise
by turning off the television, video games, and
the telephone.
Whether you are celebrating Hanuk-
kah, Christmas, or Kwanzaa, the holi-
days can be busy and stressful. Chil-
dren's eyes and ears are filled with
messages that say, "Buy me!" We all
want the holidays to be fun. But we
want holidays to mean more to our
children than receiving lots of gifts.
Here are some ways to focus on the
meaning of every holiday season.
Strengthen family ties.
Plan times to be together as a family.
Choose a game night, a pizza and
movie night, or a night for reading
stories aloud. Avoid filling your
calendar with lots of activities that
pull parents and children in different
directions.
Encourage gifts from the heart.
Help children think about the needs
of others. Visit an elderly friend or
relative who is alone, make cookies
for a neighbor, or bring gifts to a
women's shelter. Volunteer at an
Have a great and safe
Our Kindergarteners have been very busy this year and the month of November was full of im-portant themes and lots of learning. Your kinder-garteners explored their five senses through sen-sory activities they both enjoyed and learned from. We also conducted themes centered on
families and Thanksgiving!
In Math, we are working on sorting objects by color, shape and size. We are also working on identi-fying, writing, counting and order-ing numbers 0 to 20. Please contin-

Our trip to the Fire Station
Kindergarten News
In November our Kindergarteners visited our local fire station. Students got the opportunity to see the inside of the fire station as well as the inside of the fire trucks and ambulances! The firemen re-minded our children of the importance of smoke alarms in their homes, and what to do incase of a fire!
Volunteers Needed! Please let your classroom
teacher know if you are
interested in being a
guest story book reader
in any of our four Kinder-
garten rooms.

YUMMY PIE!
While learning about the Thanksgiving tradition, first grade students enjoyed an apple pie feast. We ate apple
pie with whip cream and tasted corn bread. It was a yummy treat! What a great way to celebrate the Thanks-
giving holiday.
POP, POP, POPCORN!
Students in room 204 learned about how food makes its way from farms to our homes. We read stories,
made web charts, and even popped our own corn! After popping popcorn, we tasted different types such as
cheese, chocolate, butter, salt, and caramel. Students selected their favorite type of popcorn and created a
class bar graph. The most votes went to cheese popcorn and caramel!
The students of rooms 206 and 208 worked on a
unit about the Native Americans. The students
learned the names of the different tribes in North
America. They also learned about the clothing they
used, the foods they ate, and types of homes they
lived in. As a project, the students made beautiful
Tepees of all sizes using different materials.
In reading, the most recent story we’ve read is
Hedgehog Bakes a Cake. The student’s book includ-
ed a recipe for yellow cake to try at home. We were
able to try some yellow cake in the classroom as a
Third and Fourth Grade News How to Cook a Turkey Stories
By Room:209
First, you go to the farm and find a big turkey. Make sure it has a lot of meat.
Next, you pull off all the feathers of the turkey. When you’re done with that, you put a lot of spices on the
turkey.
Then, you put it in the oven and cook it for 1 hour. Turn the oven on hot.
Last of all, set the table and invite your family to your house. Then eat all you can!
By: Shannon Gillespie
First, you take the turkey out of the freezer and defrost it.
Next, you can put seasoning and stuffing in the turkey so it has flavor.
Then, you put it in the oven and wait for fifty minutes.
Last of all, you cooked it. Now you’re ready to eat with your family.
