Vacations-Family

Occasionally, there are times when students go on vacation with their families during the school year. The policy at Little Cedars is for the teacher to collect any work that the student misses; the student may then complete the work when he/she returns.

It is difficult to prepare work ahead of time as the needs of the class dictate how long it takes to cover a topic. For example, a lesson on fractions that **//I//** think will take two class periods may end up taking three or four math periods. Therefore it is difficult to predict exactly which lessons the student will miss.

It is a super idea to have your child keep a journal while on vacation. This keeps his/her writing juices flowing, plus he/she has a wonderful memento of the trip and can share it with the class upon returning home. I am happy to send a little "Vacation Journal" with your child, or you may create your own by using a spiral notebook, composition book, or stapled notebook paper.

The school office also has a "Vacation Packet" filled with meaningful activities for your child to complete while he/she is away from school. Please let me know if you would like a Vacation Packet and I will get one from the office and send it home with your child. You are also welcome to ask for a packet at the front desk.

Please continue to have your child read 20 minutes each day while on vacation, too. Thank you!
