About 30 school days left! We want to say how proud we are at the progress all of the students have made since September! We have seen so much growth both academically and socially; they’ve become so much more independent. At this point in the year we have reviewed all the letter sounds and the kids are incorporating their knowledge into their writing. We practice reading and writing daily and their number sense is increasing, too. We’ve heard from so many parents how the kids are reading to them. That is music to our ears! They do love to read and write for enjoyment and there are so many ways to keep it fun. See below for some easy ideas.</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Writing:</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">1) shopping lists</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">2) phone message</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">3) cards</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">4) rhyming words</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">5) hangman</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">6) staple paper together to make a little book </span></div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"> (give them a staple or tape and you’ve given them gold!)</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Reading</span></div> <div style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">1)<span style='font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;'> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Take turns reading pages </span></div> <div style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">2)<span style='font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;'> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Reread a familiar story with using different voices for the character</span></div> <div style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">3)<span style='font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;'> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Act out your child’s favorite part</span></div> <div style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">4)<span style='font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;'> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Find funny stories to read</span></div> <div style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">5)<span style='font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;'> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Over the summer, make it your routine to go to the library regularly.
