Thanks for working with your child this year to help reinforce what we have learned at school! It is very important to continue to READ, READ, READ over the summer! Please review sight words from time to time so that your child does not forget them. (Remember that there are powerpoint slide shows on this website that your child may use to review sight words.) Also, please have your child write in a journal (any type of notebook) over the summer so that writing skills stay sharp. Math skills should be reviewed periodically also. We will send home a summer homework packet that will help your child to maintain the skills he/she learned in kindergarten. Please encourage independence - first grade teachers expect it! Thank you so much for being a significant partner in your child's education!
