Thank you for making this a great school year!
Thank you for sharing your child with me this school year! It has been my pleasure to work with them and you. Enjoy this time with your child and encourage them to keep up with the skills they have mastered this school year. I look forward to seeing them and you in September.
ELA:
Be certain your child continues to strengthen his/her ELA skills over the summer months.To support your child's reading success, review letter sounds, blending techniques and "popcorn" words daily. Ask your child comprehension and vocabulary questions about stories you read to them. Have your child read to you each night before you read to them.
Use the homework stories to practice reading fluently. Have your child write a journal entry in their homework journal over the summer. Stress correct letter formation and include a picture. In September, your child will bring their journal to school on the first day for me to read about their summer adventures. They will receive a small gift.
MATH:
Please continue to practice writing numbers correctly, counting up from a number, adding and subtracting facts to ten and decomposing numbers. Word problems can be written and drawn in your journal. Be ready for first grade. Check out the first grade websites.
RELIGION:
Remember to thank God each day for the wonder of His world! Say your prayers each day and visit God at Mass...
SOCIAL STUDIES & SCIENCE:
Enjoy summer days and explore nature, read stories, help cook dinner, swim, wherever you are look, listen, learn....
