Monday, May 30th Memorial Day
I can hardly believe this is our last week! It's been such a great year! I enjoyed getting to know your little people. I hope I made an impression on their hearts. I often think about what it was like to be a first grader and I fondly remember my teacher, Mrs. Gooden. I hope your children will do the same.

Research has proved that students forget almost seventy percent of what they have learned over the summer. We worked hard this year! Please 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.

THIS SUMMER
Research has proved that students forget almost seventy percent of what they have learned over the summer. We worked hard this year! Please 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 is interested in. Making this routine a weekly occurrence will help your child stay interested in reading!
RAZ Kids
I will send home your child's login card this week. They should have login information in their blue folders from earlier in the year. 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.
Your child can access all these resources during the summer and read a variety of fiction and non-fiction books. Login information is located in the directory.

SUMMER WRITING
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, Mrs. Amiri recommends 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 online. 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 was 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.
