THIS SUMMER
Research has proved that students almost forget seventy percent of what they have learned over the summer. We worked hard this year and it would be the best if the children continue to practice what they learned this year during the summer in order to have a good start to second grade. Here are some suggestions for reading, writing and math.

SUMMER READING
Public Library
SUMMER WRITING
Public Library
Visit the public library regularly over the summer to check out books that your child are interested in. Please make this as a regular schedule at least once a week so that your child will always have plenty of good books to read.
RAZ Kids
You can access this through our class blog.
username was sent home a few months ago. If you or your child don't remember it, please let me know. I will send home their classroom login cards this week as well. In Razkids, each book comes with a set of reading comprehension quizzes. Please be sure your child take those quizzes before moving to the next book.
Bookflix, Tumble books, Pebble Go, Brainpop Jr.
Please check your child's daily folder for login information for these resources. Your child can access all these resources during the summer and read a variety of fiction and non-fiction books.

SUMMER WRITING
I sent home a summer journal last week. Please encourage your child to write for 10-15 minutes each day. They could write small moments (personal narratives), poetry, non-fiction/true facts, stories, or just about all the fun and adventures they have during the summer. When writing, please go over the writing conventions such as starting sentences with capital letters, putting correct punctuation at the end, and leaving spaces between the words. The 100 first grade sight words must be spelled correctly. You can also find a copy of sight words in your child's daily folder.
MATH
To review and sharpen some of the math skills we learned this year, I would recommend a math activity book called "180 days in math", for first grade or second grade if your child is more advanced. This book can be purchased at Barnes and Noble or on line. Please refer to your child's math journal for ideas regarding math word problems. The math journals will be sent home this week.

IXL math: Please have your child continue working on IXL math over the summer. You will need to access the site through school website. The login information were sent home at the beginning of the year. I will send home their laminated computer this week. Please let me know if you have trouble logging in.
In addition, please set aside time for playing board games, going to the park, swimming, bike riding, helping with chores around the house, and some fun play date times. I wish you a great summer! I will miss you all!
