Due to COVID-19, we are unable to hold food and clothing drives for Samaritan House's Project Wee Care this year.
Also due to COVID-19, Samaritan House is unable to distribute toys as they have done in the past. Instead, they will spread cheer this year at a safe drive-through gift card distribution in early December. Gift cards from Target will allow families to personalize shopping for each child in their household online, via curbside pickup or in-store.
Please join Samaritan House and help them reach or exceed their goal of 2000 Target gift cards for children in need by November 24th HERE or at: https://www.roonga.com/samhouseholiday

THANK YOU for participating in Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week!

THANK YOU for participating in, and visiting, the Laurel Science Fair!
The Science Fair is a great way for students to develop and apply an interest in science and the scientific method. Students exercised their curiosity, approached real world problems in a systematic and scientific way, and applied creativity towards questions that interested them. The Science Fair is also a low pressure opportunity for students to present their work. We congratulate each and every scientist that submitted a project to the Science Fair! |

Tips For Reading at Home
* sit next to your child when they read
* point to hard words
* allow kids to enjoy books for fun
* use your primary language to read to your child
* pick books using the 5 finger rule
* make your own books
* read books in front of your kids (printed, not on devices)
* let your kids write! (don't correct spelling, just let them write!)
FIVE FINGER RULE. The students pick a book and then open to any page. They read one page and every time they come to a word they don’t know, they would put one of their fingers up. If they were left with no fingers up at the end of that one page, then the book is too easy. If they were left with 4 to 5 fingers up, the book is too tricky. If they have 1, 2 or 3 fingers up, then the book is ‘Just Right!’

ABOUT PROJECT WEE CARE
|
The Project Wee Care program developed as a link between the San Mateo-Foster City School District and Samaritan House, a non-profit agency providing services to residents of San Mateo County such as food,shelter, clothing, education and medical. Through this program, teachers, parents, and students join forces to help low-income families through donations of food, clothing, linens, holiday toys and other items. By participating in gathering donations,children gain an understanding that there are people in need within our community, they learn how to help these people in need, and learn that volunteering can make a difference in the lives of others. All SMFCSD schools participate in the Wee Care Program.
