Maddock Families,
As the weather is changing and the days are
getting colder, please ensure that the students are
dressing appropriately. There will still be days when,
weather permitting, students will be going outside for recess.
Besides chilly days, November also means Parent-Teacher Confer-
ences. Communication between a students’ home and school is exception-
ally vital to an effective instructional environment. Working hand in hand
with teachers can provide insights about your child’s education. The con-
ference is a great opportunity to ask questions about your child or voice
any concerns you may have. This feedback could also assist us in address-
ing the needs of your child personally and academically.
New to Maddock this year is the online registration
for Parent-Teacher conferences. All Maddock Families
have been given a yellow sheet with their PowerSchool
login, directions on how to login and setup an online
appointment for Parent-Teacher Conferences. Please
contact the Maddock Office Staff or your child’s teach-
er if you are unable to register. You can also stop by for a Principal meet
and greet in the Ben Carson room on Monday from 1:15pm-2:15pm and
on Tuesday from 5:00pm-6:00pm. As a reminder, here is the Parent-
Teacher schedule.
Maddock School Parent-Teacher conferences; Monday, November 19th from 12:15pm - 3:15pm Monday, November 19th from 4:15pm - 7:15pm Tuesday, November 20th from 12:00pm - 3:00pm Tuesday, November 20th from 4:00pm - 7:00pm

This month is also filled with great events. November 7th we had an assembly for the
Veterans, the students did a fantastic job of singing and sharing poems. Special thanks to
Mrs. Ambutas, Mrs. Biondi and the Maddock staff for helping with this event. There was
also a representative from the Japan Information Center, who came to speak to our students
about the Japanese culture. We also learned what a school day in Japan would be like for a
typical student. Special thanks to Mrs. Krzystof for this amazing opportunity and sharing her knowledge about
Japan with the Maddock students.
We will be conducting a book drive in partnership with Bernie’s Book Bank during No-
vember. If you have any books that need to find a home and are in good condition, please drop
them off at the Maddock office (no workbooks, textbooks, or reference books). Our goal is to
collect 2,000 books, so please consider sharing your favorite stories with others.
In the spirit of our November theme of “Grateful”, Ms. Sullivan will be putting
together a care package for our soldiers overseas in Kuwait. They would appreciate any
of the following items; Sunflower Seeds, Beef Jerky, Gum, Protein Bars, Granola Bars,
Dried Fruit, Nuts (No Peanuts), Trail Mix, Powdered Drink Mixes, Tea, Hot Sauce, BBQ
Sauce, Baby Wipes/Wet Wipes and ChapSticks. The students in social committee will be
adding letters and we will be sending some of the artwork from the Veterans assembly as well. Donations will
be collected until November 21st.
Our next PFC meeting is scheduled for Thursday December 13, 2018 at 6pm. All parents, guardians and Mad-
dock friends are welcome to join us.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gonzalez

The students continue to work hard at learning. The majority of the students
know their letters and sounds and have also been learning and using all of our new
sight words. The students love to read simple books; some students are reading
them on their own, others need some help, and others are doing a good job pointing
to the correct word as the teacher reads the words. These are some ways you can
help your child to practice reading at home, as well. The students are also doing
well in math; they continue to count, practice recognizing numbers, and writing
numbers. Please have your child practice counting at home in natural ways such as
counting out how many pretzels they have for a snack and finding numbers in their environment and telling you
what number they see. Over Thanksgiving break you could go outside and talk about the different color leaves and
the changes that are taking place. Enjoy the time with your child.
November is always a busy month. We learned a bit about Veteran’s Day and had an assembly to honor veter-
ans where we sang some patriotic songs and listened to some poems being read to the veterans. Thanksgiving is
also in November, so we will be having the students reflect on who or what they are thankful for and write/draw
about that. We will be keeping busy for sure!
Finally, parent-teacher conferences will be held on Monday November 19th and Tuesday November 20th . If
you have not signed up for a time yet please get online to do it or contact us and we will be happy to help you. We
can’t wait to meet and talk to all of the parents. We look forward to seeing you!

A Message From Our Social Worker
October was a busy month at Maddock! Red Ribbon Week takes place during
October. Maddock had a spirit week to show that we say no to drugs. Classrooms also
participated in a song contest and wrote songs during Red Ribbon Week to show that
they stand up against drugs. Responsibility was the character trait focused
on during the month of October. Responsibility means being accountable
for your words and actions and doing what is right even when others are
doing wrong. If others can depend on you, you are being responsible. It means working hard and hav-
ing a positive attitude. Students were recognized for demonstrating responsibility at Maddock.
As we move into November, we focus our attention to citizenship. Citizenship means showing
confidence in doing what is right even when others are doing wrong. It means getting along with others,
helping out, and following the rules. We can show citizenship by following the rules, being a good friend
and neighbor, volunteering to help others, or donating clothes or food to those in need. All of these things
help make our home, school, and community a better place.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jillson
Early Childhood The EC and PreK classes are hard at work learning more letters. This month we will focus our attention on V for vegetables, E for eat, and C for Community helpers. We will also practice our manners by saying please and thank you.
And this Thanksgiving, the PreK and EC staff want to take a moment to thank you, the parents and families, for
allowing us the honor of teaching your precious little ones. Happy Thanksgiving.
Here is a fun song to practice using good manners.
Please and Thank You (tune: Are you Sleeping?)
Please and Thank you, Please and Thank you
sound so nice, sound so nice!
Manners are important, manners are important.
Be polite! Be polite!
The Early Childhood Team
This year is flying by! We cannot believe the first quarter is already complete. We were so impressed
with how much progress we have seen in our students since the first day of kindergarten. We hope you are
proud. One area that is still a struggle for some of our students is the basic information section on the report
card. Please have your child continue practice saying and writing his/her name (first and last), address (city
and state), phone number, and birthday (year too). The more you practice, the quicker this information be-
comes concrete.
We are moving quickly through the letters and sounds and will start moving towards blending sounds
to read unknown words. It is impressive how much we learn in kindergarten.
Please remember to practice popcorn words with your child every
day and initial the calendar on their popcorn envelope after you do.
These words “pop up” in books all the time. Our students love spotting
these words when we read. New words are being added every week so
it is important to check the envelope daily.
Please continue to check your child’s folder daily. Graded pa-
pers should be kept at home. Please make sure your child has his/her
ID on every day. Mark your calendars: Parent Teacher Conferences are
scheduled for November 19th and November 20th. We cannot wait to talk to you about your child’s progress
thus far. Thanks!

Second Grade News Second Grade continues to work on building comprehension skills in the classroom. We
work on this skill with our weekly stories and in small group guided reading. At home, please
talk about what you read as a family. You can talk about what is happening on each page or
discuss the entire story.
Please continue to practice your addition and subtraction
facts. All students should know all addition and subtraction
facts between 0 and 20 by the end of the school year. We
practice in class with flashcards and on xtra-
math.org/ Your children have also been using
Study Island. You are more than welcome to do
Study Island at home too, Another online resources that helps is Raz-kids. Raz-kids
promotes fluency and comprehension in literacy growth. Please use these at home
over Thanksgiving and Winter Break. The students are very excited for our Winter
Festivities and we look forward to celebrating their success.
We look forward to meeting all of you at Parent Teacher Conferences on November 19 & 20.
Thank you for your continuous cooperation and please contact us any time!
Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Fuentes, and Mrs. Stokas
First Grade News First Grade is progressing very smoothly. We have finished three math mod-
ules already. Module four began with developing and using subtraction language
and solving word problems involving addition and subtraction. The second half of
module 4 focuses on analyzing, sorting, identifying, and creating 2D shapes.
Module five will start with doubles math facts and end with comparing double
digits. Please continue to practice basic math facts at home. The children love the challenge of flash cards.
We have been working on writing longer and more detailed sentences and keeping on topic to create a para-
graph or story. The children know that every sentence starts with a capital and needs an end mark. It is tricky to
know what kind of ending a sentence needs. ASK your child and see if they know an asking sentence from a
telling sentence.
There are spelling words every week except the week of Thanksgiving since we
have a very short week. Continue to practice using the spelling flash cards.
Guided reading groups have been going well. The students are into the routines and
know how to keep up their stamina with reading to self for 20 minutes. We are proud
of them!
We are looking forward to parent / teacher conferences and a chance to discuss your
child’s progress.

3rd Grade News them in!
Parents please remember to check homework and sign assign-ment notebooks every night. Brrr!!! The weather is changing! Please make sure your child is dressed ap-propriately for the cold weather. We look forward to seeing everyone at parent/teacher conferences on November 19th & 20th. We hope eve-ryone has a wonderful Thanksgiv-ing Holiday
Sincerely,
Mrs. Ambutas
Ms. Kontogiorgos
The third graders have been busy hard at work! In math, we have been working on multipli-cation strategies, time, and word problems. Students need to practice their math facts every night for at least 15 minutes. All students are signed up for Reflex Math. This is great com-puter program to practice facts. In the coming weeks, we will be learning about rounding num-bers, fractions, and introducing division.
In Reading, our themes will be about cooperation, immigra-tion, and government. Why is working together a good way to solve a problem? Why do people
immigrate to new places? How do people make government work? Communities are the focus in So-cial Studies. We will be learning about early communities in Ameri-ca. In Science, we will be discuss-ing weather and weather patterns.
The Amazing Reading Race is off to a great start! Don’t forget to sign the weekly reading logs and return them to school on time. Students who complete all 4 weeks will receive a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Piz-za Hut! 3rd grade students should be reading for at least 20 minutes every night. Reading logs also count as a homework assignment, so make sure you are turning

Game Corner
This month’s game is called “Clumsy Thief”
This card game is a great way for 3-6 members of your family
and friends to get together and play a strategy card game that also
helps children mentally combine numbers to reach a goal of 100.
In “Clumsy Thief”, the goal is to get as much money as you can,
by grouping two amounts of money to equal $100. You can do this
by either grouping the cards in your hand, or by adding to other sets on the table and “stealing” them
from the other players. To do so, though, you need to be able to pair up numbers that equal 100, and fast!
Watch out for thief and jail cards, as they have extra abilities that can help you, if you play them at the
right time.
At the end, adding up your total amount is also a great exercise in ad-
dition and grouping compatible numbers, as well as exciting to find out
who has the most!
This is a fun game night activity for the whole family and the children
won’t even know they are practicing mental math and strategy. This
game retails for about $10 and can be found on Amazon and other retailers.
Mr. Chris Hunger
4th Grade News Fourth grade fun! Every Tuesday Ms. Sullivan and Ms.
Ezeldin’s students will be getting together to engage in
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) ac-
tivities. Each week is an engaging new challenge; don’t for-
get to ask your fourth graders what they explored each week!
Some reading skills to reflect on: fourth grade will be identify-
ing main idea and key details as well as learning about various
themes from diverse texts. Fourth graders remember to keep up
with those reading logs! Math modules: from subtraction to frac-
tion to multiplication, 4th grade will be working hard to conquer
these concepts.
We look forward to seeing everyone at parent-teacher conferences.
Your Fourth Grade Team,
Ms. Sullivan & Ms. Ezeldin

Ms. Neal’s Literacy Class
The students have been doing a marvelous job in
literacy class. In Kindergarten they’ve been working on
the characters and settings in a story. In first grade the
students have been focusing on the main topic and key
details. While in second grade they’ve been describing
how a character responds to a challenge.
The third grade classes are working on main idea and details. Where-
as the fourth graders have been making inferences based on the details
used in the text. Fifth grade classes have been reflecting on how each
character responds to challenges or change. Last but not least, the sixth
graders have done a fabulous job with theme and how characters respond
to change. Every grade has stepped up their game by presenting their
group discussions in front of the class. We are targeting every area of
reading, writing, speaking, and listening in literacy and the students are doing a fine job.
Ms. Neal
Sixth Grade News Students are wrapping up their unit about Ancient Egypt. They have all
created a sarcophagus to decorate their locker with. Students have
learned about important Egyptian symbols such as the scarab beetle.
Also, students participated in a mock mummification ceremony as
well. On December 12th we will be going to visit the Ancient Egypt
exhibit at the Field Museum.
Students are reminded to continue working on
Mathia X. Students are given class time to work
on this program, however sometimes they may
need to go on this after school as well. This is a part of their math grade.
Students also have access to Study Island which covers both math and reading skills.
Students should check their grades on PowerSchool regularly. Finally, students are encouraged to
participate in this year’s reading program as well.

Building Speech and Language -“Food for Thought”
The holidays are approaching and families will be spending more time to-
gether. This time of year provides great opportunities for your child to build
language skills. Families can help by using language in different forms and in
different settings. For example, during conversation parents and relatives can
talk with children about their day in past tense form. This increases the use of
past tense verbs. For instance, “What have you been learning in school?” You can discuss future events and
provide opportunities to use future tense verbs, for example, “What will you be doing during Winter Break?”
Children can talk about stories and activities using transitional labels such as First, Next and Last, which
helps them with sequencing and retelling skills. Families can use descriptors to talk about current events and/
or changes that occur during this time of year, such as the seasons and time changes. It can be fun to play
with words using idioms like, “It’s raining cats and dogs!” and similes, such as, “It’s as cold as ice!” or “Im
as hungry as a bear!”
You can also leave opportunities for children to ask questions about topics. This can be encouraged by
asking them if they have any questions regarding subjects or events that happened during the day or perhaps
movies they have recently seen.
There are endless ways of practicing language skills! Enjoy the time you have with your child as you en-
courage the use of language in its many forms!
THE SPEECH-LANGUAGE TEAM
Physical Education: News and Reminders
Hello Maddock families! Our students have been doing an amazing job of demon-
strating teamwork and good sportsmanship during their PE time. With winter approach-
ing, please remember to send your student to school with gym shoes on the days they
have PE. Some students have already had to sit out of PE because they were wearing
boots.
Third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students have been learning about their resting
heart rate and target heart rate zone. We have been monitoring our heart rates during
class and attempting to reach those target heart rate zones. We will being our volley-
ball unit after we return from Thanksgiving Break. Kindergarten, first, and second
grade have been participating in team games and have started practicing using scoot-
ers. Scooters are a fun way to develop lower body strength, muscular endurance, and
spatial awareness.
Please feel free to visit the gym during Parent/Teacher Conferences.
Sincerely, Mr. McMahon

November marks the time of year we set aside for celebrating with family and friends the things we are thank-
ful for. It is also the time of year considered “Flu season” in the United States which can begin as early as Oc-
tober and last as late as May. See facts below from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) to
stay healthy this flu season:
The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year.
Strep Season is here!
Here are some signs and symptoms to look for at home:
Symptoms usually begin 2-3 days after contact, and the degree of illness can vary from child to child. Although you can’t always tell by looking, there is a somewhat characteristic appearance to strep throat.
You can suspect strep most strongly if: (1) The tonsils are beefy red (2) The uvula is red and swollen (the fleshy part at the back of the throat that hangs down like a raindrop) (3) There are big lymph nodes in the neck and under the chin.
The child may also talk as if he or she has a hot potato in the back of the throat. Interestingly, symptoms that tend NOT to be associated with strep throat are: stuffy
nose, cough, and laryngitis. (These suggest another cause such as a cold or allergy).
From the Health Department
Flu Season Information
An annual seasonal flu vaccine (either the flu shot or the nasal spray flu vaccine) is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get seasonal flu and spread it to others. When more people get vaccinated against the flu, less flu can spread through that community.
Generally speaking, everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu vaccine every season.
Get vaccinated early, it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against influenza virus infection which is why it’s better to get vaccinated early in the fall before the flu season really gets under way.
Flu vaccination can help protect people who are at greater risk of getting seriously ill from flu, like older adults, people with chronic health conditions and young children (especially infants younger than 6 months old who are too young to get vaccinated).
Flu vaccines are offered in many locations, including doctor’s offices, clinics, health departments, pharma-cies and more. Stickney Township Public Health offers free flu vaccines to all BSD111 students, call today for more information (708) 424-9200.
