Why should my child read 15 minutes tonight? Let’s figure it out - mathematically!<br />
Student A reads 15 minutes five nights of every week.<br />
Student B reads only 4 minutes a night...or not at all!<br />
Step 1: Multiply minutes a night x 5 times a week.<br />
Study warns parents of “hyper-texters”<br />
A new study from Case Western Reserve Medical School<br />
delivers a warning for parents of adolescents: too much<br />
texting is often a sign that bigger trouble is brewing. <strong>The</strong><br />
study found a decisive link between the frequent texting<br />
habits of adolescents and the likelihood that<br />
those same teens would be involved in harmful<br />
and risky behaviors like binge drinking, sex,<br />
drugs, smoking, and fighting.<br />
Teens who are high-volume texters are 3.5<br />
times more likely to be sexually active and<br />
90% more likely to be promiscuous, reporting<br />
four or more sexual partners. <strong>The</strong>y are twice as<br />
likely to drink and 43% more likely to binge<br />
drink.<br />
Moreover, super-texting teens are 41% more likely to use<br />
Page 2<br />
Student A reads 75 minutes a week.<br />
Student B reads 20 minutes a week.<br />
Step 2: Multiply minutes a week x 4 weeks each month.<br />
Student A reads 300 minutes a month.<br />
Student B reads 80 minutes a month<br />
Step 3: Multiply minutes a month x 9 months/school year.<br />
Student A reads 2700 minutes in a school year.<br />
Student B reads 720 minutes in a school year.<br />
Take time to read<br />
By Cheyrl Cohagan, GES Principal<br />
Student A practices reading the equivalent of eight whole school days a year.<br />
Student B practices reading the equivalent of two whole school days a year.<br />
By the end of 6th grade, if Student A and Student B maintain these same reading habits:<br />
Student A will have read the equivalent of 48 whole school days.<br />
Student B will have read the equivalent of 12 whole school days.<br />
How do you think Student B will feel about him/herself as a student? Which student would you expect to read better?<br />
Which student would you expect to know more? Which student would you expect to write better? Which student would<br />
you expect to have a better vocabulary? Which student would you expect to be more successful in school...and in life?<br />
drugs and 55% more likely to have had a physical fight.<br />
Who's at risk? Teens who send 120 text messages or<br />
more in a single day. "Hyper-texters," they're called.<br />
Adults who don't text may view 120 texts in a day as impossibly<br />
high. But before you breathe a sigh of<br />
relief that your own teen surely doesn't send<br />
that many texts, consider this: 120 texts<br />
spread over a teen's waking hours averages out<br />
to about 7 texts sent, per hour.<br />
About one in five teens fall into the hightexting<br />
category. And many more fluctuate in<br />
and out of those levels. And while the study<br />
does not establish cause and effect, researchers<br />
say that high texting is a tip-off to parents that they<br />
better dig deeper and see what their teens are really up to.<br />

Core Essential for December<br />
For the month of December, the Core Essential character trait at<br />
the elementary school is JOY. Students will participate in lessons<br />
to encourage joy.<br />
JOY: Finding a way to be happy, even when things don’t go<br />
your way<br />
Do things always go just the way you want them to? I know that is<br />
NOT always the case. We cannot control everything. But we can<br />
control how we react to it. Joy is the value we will be talking about<br />
during the month of December. Joy is finding a way to be happy,<br />
even when things don’t go your way.<br />
Happiness is a feeling – we can all remember one time when we<br />
were happy. Joy goes a little deeper…it’s a heart issue. Joy requires<br />
us, when things are not going just the way we would like, to<br />
see the big picture. What not-so-perfect situation in your life can<br />
you turn into an opportunity to have JOY?<br />
THANK YOU!<br />
GMS would like to say, “THANKS!” to our wonderful parents<br />
for the awesome items donated to the Accelerated<br />
Reader Store. Because our students have been avid readers<br />
this semester, the store is low on items once again.<br />
Donation of the following items<br />
