Letter 2: Sample letter to parents for establishing a new homework routine

Whether you’re new to a school, a class or indeed, the role you’ll need to decide on what the main objectives are for homework or/and the skills development of the pupils. Then, you will need to explain your intentions in detail to the parents so that they know what’s going on and why you’re setting the homework/making a particular request of them.

This letter will help you explain things clearly and further develop communication methods and it will help you develop better relationships as they remain informed. This is a sample letter for a scheme I used during my CLASS hours. Add formalities, letter header, date, school address etc if necessary as per your school culture.

New Homework Routine

Dear parents, Thank you for your continued support at …. X N.S.

This week we will begin a ……………………….. for X Class to help them (state the objective). (grow, develop, revise, create, learn how to..) (Setting differentiated homework/relevant homework) Inside this folder, you will find some tasks that are specific to the needs of your child.

(Explaining how things will work) As I mentioned before, each pack has - 2 reading books (read book 1 on Wednesday and Thursday and book 2 on Monday and Tuesday perhaps). - A reading record booklet - A handwriting worksheet - Some words to practice each night and some flashcards. You can play some games with them like Go Fish, Snap, Put the word into a sentence etc. (Giving them initial ideas). In collaboration with (name teachers), we aim to (explain the details of the project - use a bulleted list if possible) It's very important that X and Y happen. (eg. the folders are in school on those days so that I can change the books and assign new words if necessary.). Do a little every night (e.g. the handwriting worksheet does not have to be completed in whole on Wednesday night. It's better to encourage accuracy than rush through the tasks). (Setting Expectations) If you have any questions at all, please write a note and put it in the homework folder or ring the school on Wednesday and Thursday and I will be happy to answer your queries. If your child is absent, please continue to (Further setting expectations) follow this format each week (1 page of handwriting, reading and flashcards) each evening if possible and we will endeavour to make the most of the extra support for these next few weeks. I look forward to working with you, (list of teachers)and your child,

Best regards, ....... O. Dempsey

Fostering the Home-School Connection Through Friday Letters

Friday Letters Connect Parents to Your Classroom

Every parent wants to know what their child is learning and how they are doing in school. One fun and informative way to keep your parents connected to your classroom is through Friday letters. Every Friday my students write a letter home telling their parents and families all about their week at school.

Students return the letters to school where we file and save them.  At the end of the year, I bind all of their letters into keepsake books for students to take home.

A Simple, Yet Powerful Tool

Friday Letters.  Writing a letter every Friday to Mom and Dad. It’s such a simple little thing, but a powerful one. Besides cultivating a consistent connection between my students’ homes and my classroom, I learn a lot from these letters. They give me weekly insight into my students’ thoughts and feelings, excitements and anxieties, about school, their friends, what happens at home, and even how they feel about the food in the cafeteria.

Friday letters give me a window into things that my students may not tell me, but tell their parents. They afford me opportunities to see where I can quietly intervene or partner with parents to help a child socially, support them more emotionally, or even to celebrate accomplishments outside of school that I may not otherwise know about.

Review Skills At A Glance

• writing conventions
• capitalization
• correct use of punctuation
• complete sentences
• writing the date
• use of transition words
• compound sentences
• vocabulary knowledge

Review The Format Of A Friendly Letter

At the beginning of the year, we review the format of, and how to write, a friendly letter.  This is something our first graders learn, but I always spend time reteaching the purpose, the parts and the punctuation of a friendly letter. My goal is to get them started towards writing these letters independently. I recommend this Friendly Letter writing unit that is ideal for Writer’s Workshop or for reviewing this important life skill.

What Can I Write About?

For the first few weeks, we brainstorm whole group and list on the board all of the things we learned and did during the week they could write about in their letters. Sometimes we make a big bubble map and sometimes we make a list. Sometimes we even make a tree map with the days of the week as the categories.

These are quick teachable moments to talk about the purpose of different graphic organizers and how they can help us plan our writing. Later, they will do this on their own in their writing journals.  The one thing we always do the same  every.single.week is to end our letters with a question. This gives the recipient a start to writing back.

Make Friday Letters Manage Themselves

This routine will manage itself after a few weeks of practicing the procedure. I train my class to file their letters all going the same way, behind their previous letter.  They can do this when they first arrive or at the end of the day. I found this filing cart at a garage sale years ago and it’s been perfect for storing and saving students’ writing portfolios.   A crate would work well also.

Each hanging file has a student number and a file folder (their writing portfolio) inside.  The Friday letters go behind the file folder. At the end of the year I even have my students go through their own letters to make sure they’re set and organized before binding. If you don’t have access to a comb binder a heavy duty stapler works great too.

Flip Your Friday Letters

I’ve gotten many questions over the years about what to do when parents don’t write back to their child.  I resolve that issue in two ways.

• I ask my student if they would like to write their letters and keep them all in their file, without sending them home, so they still have a keepsake book at the end of the year.
• I flip the Friday Letters and have students write to me. I write them back and they file the letters for their keepsake book. they have a book of letters to their teacher instead of to parents.

Flipping your Friday letters during school closures or school breaks is a wonderful way to stay connected to your students. Instead of writing to parents, students write weekly letters to their teacher. The free starter kit below includes a book cover that says, “Weekly letters to my teacher” if you need it.

But the Year Has Already Started

It’s easy to get started writing Friday letters with your class.  You don’t have to start at the beginning of the year, you can start anytime.  Just send home this parent letter explaining how it works and start writing!

I really love the idea of Friday letters

November 12 at 6:24 am

Just wondering your font that you used. Thanks

I tried searching PIG KNIT which is what I saw at the end of the resource but couldnt find anything

September 15 at 6:24 pm

How much time would you suggest in a 2nd grade class to write the letter?

August 27 at 12:39 pm

Hi LInda: I would love to download & use the Friday Letter, but it won’t work. I’ve tried Goggle Docking it and everything I know, but I can’t print it. I see that it is html, can you send it in a PDF….just hoping…thanx! Mary

July 30 at 4:34 pm

I signed up for your newsletter so I could get the free Friday parent letter starter kit, but I was emailed a student data folder kit instead.

September 18 at 4:25 am

Where did you get all of the fun templates in the pictures? Thank you for including some with the pack! I’m so excited to start this!

September 29 at 1:09 pm

Hi Alison, The stationary I use is found in the books shown above in the post. They stationary/writing templates books are from amazon.

July 18 at 7:10 pm

Hi Linda The link for the Friday Family Journal that was sent to me does not work. It doesn’t allow me to click it and when I do try, nothing happens. Is this still available?

August 10 at 10:26 am

Hi there! I love this idea and as a first year teacher, I am excited to implement this in my classroom. Just one question- how do I edit the cover page to include my information instead of it being blank?

August 15 at 12:38 pm

Hi Jadeyn, The cover is not editable but you can always type out your info in a font size that will fit the space. Trim around it and glue it to your master before you copy your covers.

I hope that helps and you have a fantastic year!

July 31 at 8:57 am

I did this last year for the first time and I loved it! My parents looked forward to reading them and responding over the week end. We started each Monday reading their letters from their parents. Then I collected and made them into a book at the end of the year. I color coded each month, so it was easy to keep the green Dec. all together. Kids loved seeing the growth from their first letter to the last. One of my parents favorite part of the year.

July 26 at 9:52 am

OMG! I love this idea for my 2nd grade class! Where did you purchase that rolling short file cabinet? I am obsessed with it.

July 31 at 9:25 pm

Hi Chelsea! I found the cart at a garage sale. It was too perfect for the classroom to pass up!

June 27 at 10:05 am

Love the idea! Any suggestions on how to adapt for PreK?

July 2 at 11:23 am

Hi there! To adapt Friday letters for PreK I would have your students draw a pictures showing something they enjoyed from the week. If they are able they may write words or a sentence to go with it as well as tell their parent all about what the picture depicts. Parents could write a response on the back and you could bind them all into a book.

I hope this helps and you have a wonderful year! Linda

April 29 at 11:07 pm

Hi! I’m wondering where you got that adorable file cart you used for your writing portfolios? I’m looking for something exactly like this for mine! Thanks in advance!

May 2 at 8:54 am

Hi Jamie! It looks like from you email address that you are in Mesa? I found that cart at Treasures 4 Teachers in Tempe. It’s an amazing warehouse for teachers. Membership is $35 per year and many many teachers and business donate to them. It’s an incredible place to find a TON of teaching resources, books, office supplies, filing cabinets and you name it for REALLY cheap. They have a huge free section too!

May 3 at 5:28 pm

Thanks! I’m new to your blog, I traveled her via Pinterest. Are you in Mesa as well? How is your year going? Jamie

April 21 at 8:03 pm

Have you ever had students whose parents do not write back to them each week? If so, what have you done about it?

April 22 at 9:33 am

Hi E’milie, Yes, I usually have a few each year. What I do in that case is have the student write the letter and then rather than taking it home and risk it not coming back, I have them file it in the folder that each student stores returned letters in. I encourage this and make sure the student feels ok about it by telling them that we’re saving them all for a book at the end to surprise his/her parents. So far this has worked out well and then each student has letters for their book at the end.

I hope this helps and thanks so much for asking!

September 4 at 4:00 pm

Hi Linda, I have done this in the past and sent a book back and forth. Families really liked it! I like the idea of a single sheet of paper each week, filing and binding at the end of the year. I am looking for your affiliate links or titles of books from Scholastic where you get the letter paper/stationary from.

Thank you for you help, Pam

September 8 at 7:11 am

Hi Pam, Thanks so much for stopping by and asking! There are affiliate links to the Scholastic stationary books I use in the post above. I hope this helps and your class and parents enjoy writing Friday letters!

August 27 at 8:06 am

I love this idea and I think it would be a great way for my fourth graders to reflect on their week and what they have learned. I do have a few questions: 1. Do you set a time limit so it doesn’t take over your day? 2. How much do you edit and how do you find the time for that? 3. I assume the letters go home on Friday and students are expected to return them on Monday?

September 8 at 7:26 am

Hi Liz, These are great questions! On Friday mornings our students take spelling assessments, turn in homework, I stamp reading logs etc. We then start our Friday letters. Depending on the time of year, it’s longer at the beginning, I take about 15-20 min. If students don’t finish, they work on them once they finish other work during the day. We edit a lot together at the beginning of the year and I model, model, model how to write a friendly letter. Later in the year, as students are writing I am scanning everyone’s letters. I also prep my parents at the beginning to praise improvements they see, correct spelling, punctuation etc. Of course not all do probably, but this helps also to motivate students to do their best. I don’t take a ton of time editing after about the first month. One of the things we do at the beginning is I create a chart with an example of a correctly written letter and hang that up all year. I have students look and the chart and check that they have written their letters in the correct format, check for punctuation, capital letters etc. It does take longer at the beginning but the dividends are worth it!

The letters go home on Fri. and are to come back on Monday. That doesn’t always happen of course, and that’s OK. I keep the file shown in the post above for them to file the letters once they bring them back. I teach explicitly how to file them in order so I don’t have to spend time organizing letters at the end before binding them.

I hope this helps and your class and parents enjoy the letters!

August 29 at 3:28 pm

Do you have a picture of your anchor chart you use for friendly letters that you’re willing to share?

July 10 at 1:25 pm

I used to do this with my second graders. I tried it with my kinders and it didn’t work so well but I really want to try it again….maybe this year. But something I did that I don’t see here is that the parents’ “homework” was to write back to their student. I had a little box at the bottom of the kids’ letters to write back.

July 10 at 5:07 pm

Hi Michelle! Yes, I think Kinders would be to young for this, although maybe toward the end of the year. If you scroll to just under the first heading, you’ll see some examples and an explanation of how I have parents write back to their student on the back of the letters. My parents love having the book of letters at the end of the year.

June 30 at 9:30 am

Thanks for reminding me of something I did years ago. I love this!! I took a hiatus from teaching in the classroom and I’ve been back for a couple of years. My students LOVED their “go-home journals” when I was teaching in the 90’s. I downloaded your free link, but I would love to purchase the Scholastic letter template books. I can’t seem to find them! Thanks for providing this fun and valuable idea!

July 2 at 8:24 am

You’re welcome Suzanne, and welcome back to the classroom! Let me know if I can help you with anything!

June 23 at 5:58 am

I absolutely love this idea. It makes the kids own their learning too. My question for you is…. Do you edit the letter with the kids or send it as is? Thanks,Erin

June 25 at 9:05 am

Hi Erin! I model extensively the format for writing a friendly letter for the first several weeks. My desks are arranged in groups, so I go to each group and have them check format, punctuation, complete sentences beginning with capital letters, correctly written closing etc. As the year goes on, I find I need to do this less and less for most students and there are weeks that I send them as is. As students are writing, I also quickly read what they have written as I gain so much insight from doing so.

I hope this helps, and thanks so much for stopping by! Linda

May 31 at 9:02 am

I had my students write letters a couple of times a month. Sadly I had some students with only one letter or none at all for their book at the end of the year. I had the students write to each other so they would have at least one letter in their book. How do you handle it when they don’t bring any letters back during the school year?

June 6 at 5:42 pm

Hi Denise, That’s a great question and I’ve had it happen more than once. I include a couple of reminders in group parent emails explaining again that we will be saving and binding the weekly letters into a book to send home at the end of the year. If I still don’t receive letters back from any students after that, I have the student file the letters after they write them. That way we have them all or most of them. It is still a treasure for the parents whether or not they respond each week. Every family is different, and I have certainly been the mother, at times, that just can’t keep up! So, no judgement, I just save them for the child to take home at the end.

Another thing I do is to add a blurb occasionally in my class newsletters throughout the year reminding parents to respond and return the letters when they get a chance.

I hope this helps, and thanks so much for asking!

September 15 at 6:17 pm

What a treasure for that child! I had a similar experience with one of my students. Her parents were so grateful to have the letters her grandmother wrote. It really is such a special project that means so much to students and their families.

September 15 at 6:15 pm

Hi Jenka, I have students write on individual pieces of "stationary", rather than in a journal, and then take the letters home. The parents respond at home on the back side and read their responses to their child at that time. The students then bring the letters back to school where we file them until the end of the year. At the end of the year I bind each child's letters into a book. I hope this helps!

September 15 at 4:15 pm

Hi! I love these journals and my teaching partner and I just started this year using them in our first grade classroom. We sent home our first letters, and noticed parents wrote really sweet, long, notes on the back… we were wondering how you manage reading the letters back to each student so they know what their parents responded each week. We are trying to figure out a good way to do this without taking too much time, but making sure those students who can't quite manage reading the responses themselves get to here what their parents wrote. Any ideas would be great! Thanks!

September 13 at 4:13 pm

Such a wonderful idea to foster the home-school connection. Can't wait to start this with my kiddos!

August 27 at 3:49 am

I've been doing Friday Family Writing Journals for several years. A few years ago a student had several responses from her grandmother in her journal; the grandmother was very ill and passed away towards the end of the school year. The mother later told me what a precious keepsake that writing journal was for her daughter. We never know how what we do will touch a family. And for this reason I will always do Friday Family Writing Journals.

August 21 at 1:49 pm

Hi Nora, That's a great question! The answer is, absolutely! You can set up your system however you wish. I've been using Friday letters for about 9 years now and have never gotten push back from parents, but what I do is allow students to do whatever works for them and their families. I've had students every year who either have limited English proficiency or their parents do not speak English at all. In those cases students have done a number of different things. Some have written to older siblings, or grandparents, or even to friends or classmates. I've also had students who wrote to their parents each week and then we just filed them and bound the book to take home at the end of the year.

Two years ago I had a Vietnamese student who wrote to her grandmother each week. Her grandmother responded in Vietnamese after my student read and translated the letter to her. Her mother told me at conference time how much it meant to her grandmother to be able to do that and to be involved in her granddaughter's life at school.

So the answer is, yes! Make it work for your students.

I hope this helps!

Hi Linda, Do you ever get pushback from parents on this? I teach at a school that is fairly urban with parents who do not speak English or have other socioeconomic factors that may impact their ability to do this. Is the parent response optional? Thanks! Nora

Hi Debbie and Venee! I agree! Writing letters each Friday is really a great way to support their writing development and see their growth!

August 17 at 6:42 pm

I love your idea Hope! Writing letters to their families has always been such a fun and rewarding experience for my class. I'm so glad to hear your families love it too! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope the kit saves you some time. Happy writing! Linda

Hi Nell, I'm not sure what was going on with the document, but I have uploaded a new file link to this post. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and I hope your class enjoys writing Friday letters as much as mine does! Have a great year!

This is adorable! I downloaded the Starter Kit but am having trouble putting my information on the cover page. It only lets me type one line of text. I can't press enter or use the arrow down key to add additional lines. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

My kids and families love family journals! That's what we have always called them just because we don't always have time on the same day. We also have parents write back and return the journals each Monday. Before handing out the family journals I ask each student if they would like me to read their family's response and of course, they always do. It's so cute! I love how you have it all organized. This is really going to help me this year! Thank you!!

You’re welcome Hope! I’m so glad you found something helpful you can use in your classroom!

We wrote to our families last year. Our kiddos are a split K/1 – their writing grew so much. I love how you end each letter with a question.

Teachers, You Must Send This Letter Home on the First Day of School!

I wish I could take credit for this teaching gem that I am about to share with you. My sister (who started teaching five years before I did) shared this letter with me before my first year of teaching. For the next 12 years, I made sure to send it home on the very first day of school.

This letter serves many purposes, but perhaps the most important reason to send it home is to let parents know (from the very first day of school) that you value their input. Parents need to feel “heard” and that their “voice” is welcome. When you send this letter home, you are giving them this great opportunity to communicate with you in an appropriate way. It also offers parents a sense of relief to fill you in on the details of their child; just knowing that they have shared this with you will prevent future communication issues.

Aside from establishing a positive relationship with parents, this letter really helps you to get to know your students better. There have been years where I had 36 students in my class!!! When I read these letters (many are sent back within the first few days of school), I get to know my students so much faster. BONUS: You get to learn a lot about the parents as well, which is helpful for future communication.

This letter also establishes communication boundaries. It lets the parents know that these letters will be read and addressed during conferences. There is no need for you to follow up until that time.

If you are not sending something like this home on the first day of school, I really urge you to! You will find that this simple act will not only inform you about your students, but it will also set the stage for positive home-communication for the rest of the school year!

Spelling/ Word Work Letter to Parents

by Lynn Hahn | Aug 21, 2017 |

                                                                                                       August 21, 2017

Dear Parents,

Your child brought home their first Words Their Way spelling words. The Words Their Way program teaches students the importance of word study through phonics, vocabulary and the study of word patterns and their meaning.  The main benefit of Words Their Way is that it differentiates instruction, allowing each child to work at their appropriate instructional level.

Your student will been given an initial spelling inventory to help guide us in placing them into a group of words.  Students will begin working with a different group of words each week.  Word work will include sorting their words into categories, and noticing similarities and differences between words that sound alike. They will also write sentences.

Students will continue to have weekly spelling homework, and spelling tests.   Spelling tests will be on Fridays.  For each spelling test, we will ask students to spell a random group of 10 of their words for the week.  The main purpose of these spelling tests will be to help guide each student’s instruction, versus memorization of the words.

Words Their Way focuses less on memorization and more on allowing students to have a more hands-on approach to their learning. The Words Their Way program encourages family support at home.  Weekly homework expectations is below this letter.

I am excited about the opportunity to work with your child using Words Their Way .  If you have any questions about Words Their Way , please feel free to contact me.

Each night of the week your child is expected to do a different activity to ensure that the words on their list and the word pattern of the week is mastered. These activities have been modeled and practiced in school, so your child can teach you how to do them.  One sentence per word is due on Friday.  The sentences should be written in the word work journal.

– Your child will sort their words into categories like the ones we did in school. Your child should read each word aloud during this activity. Ask your child to explain to you why the words are sorted in a particular way; what does the sort reveal about spelling in general? Ask the student to sort them again as fast as possible. You may want to time them.

– Do a “Write Sort”

– Your child should lay down the header (bolded) words or letters to help distinguish each rule.

– Child reads the word out loud and puts into the correct category.

-Adult will check to see if the word is in the correct category.  

– Child will write down the sort in the word work journal.

– Do a “Blind Sort” with your child.

        -Lay down the header (bolded) words to help distinguish each rule.

        -Adult will read the word aloud and the child will point to the category it belongs to. Adult will put down the word after the child has pointed to the correct category and the child will move the word under the appropriate heading.

        -If your child makes an error without seeing the word, show the word and have them sort it, but then try the blind sort again with words that they miss with their initial try.

-Do a “ blind write sort”.

        -Use the list of spelling words from Monday.

        -As you call out the words in a random order, students should write them in      categories, identifying the similarities between the words.

        -Call out any words your child misspells a second or even a third time.

-Do a “Speed Sort” 3 times

– Lay out the headings

– Students sort the words as fast as they can three times

– Write down how long each sort took

My preschoolers ASK for homework.  They want to be just like their big brother or sister and do homework.  They have also figured out that when their brothers or sisters do homework, they get extra one-on-one time with their mom or dad, so I created these preschool reading logs.

Preschoolers need developmentally appropriate learning time at home with mom and dad!  For homework, each month, I send home a Monthly Home Readings Log, and the kids LOVE it!  Each time a child “reads” or has a book read to them at home, they color a small picture on the reading log.

Once they have colored all the pictures for that month, they can bring them back to school to show the class (if the teacher wishes).  We do a cheer for the students at our morning meeting if they bring it back to school.  It will be simple, quick, and recognize the student for reading at home!  I tape the reading logs to their cubbies and make a big deal about them each month.  Reading logs are the perfect homework for busy families and my little learners!

Preschool Reading Logs

The monthly reading logs do not include dates so that you can use them year after year!  Just print, copy, and send home!  Print them on brightly colored paper to make them stand out.

Three Sets of Reading Logs to choose from: • Reading Logs with 20 items to color each month • Reading Logs with 15 items to color each month • Reading Logs with 10 items to color each month

Reading at home can make a BIG impact in a child’s school success!  For a preschooler or kindergartner, just reading 10-15 can make an impact on their reading comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, sense of story, phonemic awareness, and writing!  Plus, it is quality family time at home!

I also send home Parent Handouts throughout the year attached to my newsletters and at parent-teacher conferences.  It gives families ideas on simple activities they can do at home to help their child develop the skills they need.  You can read all about them HERE or buy them HERE.

>>Grab the preschool reading logs FREEBIE by entering your email in the box at the bottom of this blog post!<<

The first month I send the reading logs home, I attach the “Reading at Home” two-page parent note.  The parent letter has reading and comprehension strategies, strategies to help their child develop as a reader, tips for making a home reading nook, a list of ways to make reading an adventure, and a list of media they can read other than books!

Hate Homework? Here is an OPT OUT OF HOMEWORK Letter to School

For parents and children who dislike the impact of homework on their family time.  Here is a template of a letter to send to school before the first parent-teacher interviews.  It’s meant as a starting place for discussion of homework and schoolwork boundaries.

Dear Teacher

Thank you for teaching our child this year.  We as a family strive to live a balanced life that includes a variety of activities. Those activities include volunteering in the community, family social time, rituals and celebrations, part-time jobs, music and art lessons, sports, fellowship clubs, church and much-needed downtime.  We value those activities as much as learning academic subjects in school.

In order to make time for these activities; we need to establish boundaries that provide a fair division between school instructional time and homework that encroaches upon outside-school time.  Therefore, our family homework policy is as follows:

_________(Your Family Name Here) Family Homework Policy:

The school assignments that are not given adequate instructional class time to complete in school hours, will not be completed at home.

We expect our children to give their best effort and concentration in the ___ hours of instructional class time that the government legislates and the school provides in order for our children to complete the required credits and marks. They can also use any school spares they have to complete school work between the hours of 9:00am and 3:30pm. I expect the school to provide adequate time and instruction in class for the student to complete the government requirements of the entire course.

We expect that our children will not be socially penalized within the classroom for our implementation of the Family Homework Policy, and will not be academically penalized in terms of marks for work that can’t be completed within the allotted school time. The current available research supports our belief that supplemental homework is not required for adequate mastery of the subject matter.  We appreciate that you respect our decision on how to spend our time at home as much as we respect your decisions regarding your time/curriculum management at school.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

About Judy Arnall, BA, DTM, CCFE

3 responses to hate homework here is an opt out of homework letter to school.

I was an aid for a teacher that had a students whose parents sent in one of these letters. That child was constantly behind in class and by the end if first grade, was one of the few children who could barely write her name by the end if the year.

wow, sounds like the child had a learning disability or someone wasn’t doing their job at school. My child was like that even with homework. I was always told I wasn’t doing enough at home or she was just being lazy. Turns out, she is dyslexic and the bones in her hands are older than her chronological age. We are still trying to get a final diagnosis on her hands.

It’s a joy to find soomene who can think like that
