 Creative ideas to keep those minds sharpened over the coming Winter Break #PTA4Kids @CaliforniaPTA
Families should read together during holiday break to help make a smooth and successful return to school, without forgetting important skills students have already learned so far this year. There are many ways to read without cracking open a book. Get creative this holiday! Here are some fun ideas to help your kids remember important school skills like reading, writing and math:

*Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult Please visit the following resources on How to Talk to Your Child About the News @KidsHealth @AmerAcadPeds Our hearts and minds are with those affected by the continued string of tragic events in San Bernardino, Savannah, Paris, Syria, and many others. Television or internet coverage of upsetting events like natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or mass shootings can cause kids to worry that something similar could happen to them or their loved ones. It can also make them fear some aspects of everyday life — things that never worried them before. Help your child by putting the news in its proper context and addressing their concerns. Here’s a helpful article on how to start that conversation (via Kidshealth.org). If you are in emotional distress caused by recent events or know someone who is, find help with this free resource or by calling the Disaster Distress Hotline at 1-800-985-5990 or text TalkWithUs to 66746.

Just a reminder that Eagle Rock Elementary will be closed from Monday, November 23 through Friday, November 27 in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. Be safe and enjoy your time with family and friends and we'll see you back on campus when classes resume Monday, November 30. Thanksgiving Day has been an annual holiday in the United States since 1863. Not everyone sees Thanksgiving Day as a cause for celebration. Each year since 1970, a group of Native Americans and their supporters have staged a protest for a National Day of Mourning at Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts on Thanksgiving Day. American Indian Heritage Day is also observed at this time of the year. There are claims that the first Thanksgiving Day was held in the city of El Paso, Texas in 1598. Another early event was held in 1619 in the Virginia Colony. Many people trace the origins of the modern Thanksgiving Day to the harvest celebration that the Pilgrims held in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. However, their first true thanksgiving was in 1623, when they gave thanks for rain that ended a drought. These early thanksgivings took the form of a special church service, rather than a feast. In the second half of the 1600s, thanksgivings after the harvest became more common and started to become annual events. However, it was celebrated on different days in different communities and in some places there were more than one thanksgiving each year. George Washington, the first president of the United States, proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving Day in 1789. Source: http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/thanksgiving-day
