Stanek Mayor ATTEST: S-Terry Wilde City Clerk (Pub. Nov. 25,1975) Holiday At-Home Learning Activities "What can I do now?" - that's the often asked holiday question. A parent may tell a child to do his schoolwork to learn more about math, English, etc. But the child wants something fun to do because this is vacation. An impasse? A standoff? Not at all. For the child's desire for holiday fun and the parent push for education can be reconciled in solid home activity ideas. These activities are labeled under academic categories. But in working with the child, don't use school terminology: just say, for example, "How about building a bird feeder?"

The McHenry State Bank 3510 W. ELM ST. McHENRY, ILL. 385-1040 that he is studying science, math, crafts (in the actual construction) and English (through reading directions) - all while he's having a great time. Language Arts: Use a child's vacation or sick day TV wat­ ching to develop his listening and speaking skills by en­ couraging him to become a television critic. Let him "grade" the shows he sees against a checklist you've worked out together of" a program's good and bad points. Then let him report on the shows he liked and disliked and tell you why. To increase his writing ability, have your child write his own Christmas cards and the thank-you notes with glitter and stars, etc. Don't grade him on this home writing; if he misses a capital letter of a comma, so be it. Pre-schoolers can dictate their cards. On their own, they can decorate, stamp and post the notes. To improve reading, stimulate older elementary and junior high students to read neighborhood story hours for a group of younger children. Mathematics: Children can make a calendar for the new year. The amount of parental help needed will vary with your child's abilities. Use large sheets of paper. For the top, children can draw or cut out pictures depicting different months. Leave plenty of white space in the number boxes for Notes or symbols of the day's weather. Many a game exchanged this holiday season will teach children mathematics. Take Bingo: for the young it teaches number recognition and matching. For the older youngster it can be used as a math answer game. (What is 2 plus 2? The player finds the answer on his car.) Social Studies: The Christ­ mas story lends itself to a study of the Mediterranean lands. Using a large pieceof left-over wrapping paper, help the child work out a map of the Bible area. Science: To accompany the bird feeder mentioned above, try an inventory of the birds who come to eat. Youngsters can make a chart with pictures of the different birds. Arts and Crafts: A few s u g g e s t i o n s i n c l u d e : potholders, children's pictures of theirs that are framed, budvases from painted pop bottles, tile ashtrays, sewn leather items, pipe cleaner flowers in milk carton pots, origami -- anything and everything your child's won­ derful imagination leads to. Daily Surprise Bulletin Board: Set up some type of vacation bulletin board for the family to post ideas about what they'd like to do during the holidays. (Oil cloth on the wall to which papers can be at­ tached by tape is useful.) Encourage the children to cut out articles from the newspaper each day which suggest activities and write notes announcing their ideas. H o I i d a y - A t - Home...Thanksgiving. This list is not an "all or nothing" procedure. Try as many of those ideas (or parts of them) as you and your children want. Family Decision Making: Let the children share the work and accomplishment in planning and doing a Thanksgiving dinner. In advance, with the children, make up a list of all that has to be done, from the shopping trip to setting the table to cleanup. Let the child pick an equal number of what he considers "glamour" and "chore" tasks. When children come to realize what needs to be done and pick their own jobs, their gripes will be minimized and individual choice and necessity for compromise will be emphasized. Make out the dinner menu together with the children discussing with them the considerations of time and cost that govern the choices. Have children (who read well enough) look up the recipes and help you list what you need to buy. Let them check your present grocery inventory to see what you already have. They can then refer to newspaper ads to find stores with the lowest prices. The Trip To The Store: Each child can have his own list for certain grocery needs, produce, meats, cans, etc. Choose an uncrowded time in tne store; right atter supper is usually good. Stay close to your young shoppers to help them compare prices and quality. Cooking: Even young children love to help in the kitchen and can be real helpers if given tasks they can do. Be sure your menu includes such things as jello, puddings, cookie mixes, cheese on crackers, etc. Decorations: With colored paper, scissors, crayons and paste, even the*youngest child can make Thanksgiving decorations that will add to the festiveness of the day. Try paper placemats and door and window paste-ups of turkeys, pumpkins, Indians, pilgrims. Older children can make place cards and home-made favors for the guests. The Significance Of The Day: Although schools do a pretty complete job on Thanksgiving, there are holiday stories, especially Indian myths, that children would love to hear at home. A trip to the library is in order to pick up some of these books. Parents and children can tell stories to each other, and with a little encouragement children would have great fun preparing an after-dinner Thanksgiving skit, either based on one of these tales or one of their own. r.
