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 />

is greatly appreciated!<br />

Bouncy Balls (all sizes) Fun Socks Silly Bands<br />

Party Favors Fun Erasers Silly Putty<br />

their R-time skills by having good<br />

manners, being respectful to other<br />

students, and following directions are<br />

recognized by our faculty and given<br />

an award.<br />
