MEMORY
Silly Salad
BUild your youngster's memory skills
With an imaginary salad.
This quick-thinking game will let your child "practice
finding and working with hidden numbers.
Ingredients: memory
Ingredients: a pair of dice
Explain to your youngster that the dots on opposite sides of a die always
add up to 7. Then, take turns rolling a pair of dice to see
who can add the unseen sides together the fastest. Exam­
ple: If a player rolls a 4 and a 6, the hidden numbers
would be 3 (7 - 4) and 1 (7 - 6). The total would be
4 (3 + 1). On each roll, the first player to shout out the
correct total gets one point. Play 10 rounds. The player
with the highest score wins.
Variation: Older children
can use three dice
or multiply the
hidden numbers.
Just hang your Recipes poster on
the refrigerator and sneak in an
activity when you have a few
minutes. These fun activities will
help develop school success and
positive behavior. Check off each
box as you complete the "recipe."
The object of this game is to be the one who
remembers the longest list of salad ingredients.
To begin, have YOur child name something that Could go in a salad Qettuce). You say a second ingredient, and repeat what she named (tomatoes and lettuce). She adds another ingredient and repeats the whole list (chickpeas, tomatoes, lettuce).
Keep going until one of you can't remember the
items already listed or can't think of another ingredi­
ent. Let the Winner choose a new topic, SUch as school supplies.

Then, make a game board for each player by drawing a grid with five rows
and five columns. Write 25 different words on each grid (one per box) and
their opposites on 25 slips of paper. Place the slips in a bowl.

Practical Activities to Help Your Child Succeed
Let your youngster "visit" the settings of his favorite stories.
Ingredients: storybooks, a travel guide, or the Internet
Have your child pick a story that is set in a place he has never
visited. For example, The Thief Lord (Cornelia Funke) takes
place in Venice, Italy. Then, ask him to find information about
the location by looking through a travel guide or searching the
Internet.
Together, read about customs, foods, and festivals in the set­
ting. Help your youngster plan an imaginary trip by asking
him questions like, "What would you want to see there?" and
"What would the weather be like this time of year?"

made him angry.

Talk about what makes someone a good friend
(sense of humor, caring for others). Then,
read a book together, and ask your youngster
which character she would like as a friend and
why. Finally, let her tell you three qualities that
make her a good friend.
Kaleidoscopes Use mirrors
to make images that are
symmetrical (with mirror­
image halves). Here's how
your child can make his ""-~~
own kaleidoscope picture.
Have him fold a paper plate in half
and draw a design on one half. He can
place the plate with the folded edge at
an angle in front of a mirror to see the
"whole" picture.
Faraway Lands
Fill a dear container with cereal
or other small objects, and ask
your chud to estimate hoW

Then, help her count

it would take to fill up that one.
She can count to check her estimate.

Emily has a pacemaker because her heart doesn't beat fast enough. She has participated in her school's Hoops
For Heart program for the last two years. We are so proud that her school understands how vital research and
advancement are for kids like Emily.
Thank you for making heart awareness important to kids with the Hoops For Heart program. I participated in
Jump Rope For Heart when I was in elementary school. Little did I know then that I was jumping for my very own

Help Your Child Save Lives and be a Heart Hero! HOW: Support your child in the American Heart Association's Jump Rope For Heart program WHAT: A life-saving and educational community service program
WHY: Your child will help kids with special hearts, learn about how to be heart healthy and feel good!
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We are thrilled to share our school is supporting the American Heart Association's Jump Rope For Heart program!
When your child participates in Jump Rope For Heart he/she:
• Learns about the importance of the heart - how it works, and how to take care of it: Through classroom
exercises and educational information provided by the American Heart Association.
• Helps kids with special hearts: Our safe online tool makes it easy for your child to set-up a web page and
send emaits to invite friends and family to support their fund raising efforts and to share life-sa~ .
information.
• Feels good for making a difference in people's lives! Funds raised support American Heart Association
research and education initiatives that save lives in our community. Congenital heart defects are the most
common cause of infant death from birth defects. Many children are alive today because of treatments not
available even 10 years ago. Funded research and advancements have changed and saved their lives!
We hope you are as excited as we are to support our students in this important experience! If you have any
questions or would like to volunteer, please let me know. Let's help our children be heart heroes!
Visit www.heart.org/jump to get started today!

WAY TO GO LAFAYETTE!
Congratulations Lafayette students on doing a fabulous job on your Spell-a-thon
tests! Lafayette families and friends have pledged $8000 for our Spell-a-thon this
year! We’re trying to top the $12,000 mark so keep up the good work! The tests
were returned last week and the pledge money is due now. If you didn’t
sponsor your child prior to the test, it’s not too late to show your support! Some
students even sponsored themselves and siblings sponsored each other – what
a great way to show school spirit!
Remember, the money from this PTA fundraiser will ultimately go back to your
child’s classroom in the form of teacher grants, supplies, field trips, and
assemblies. We are proud to be able to provide these services as a way of
enriching an already amazing academic experience at Lafayette Elementary.
Thanks again for your support and participation,
