Dear Families,I hope your summer is going well. Summer is a great time to kick back, relax a little, get outside and enjoy our beautiful state, and have fun with the kids. Part of that fun needs to include continuing your child's education. Please make sure to read, write, and problem solve with your child throughout the summer. Taking a trip to the local library, book store, or yard sale can add to the excitement of reading. Making books with scrap paper can inspire the most reluctant writer. Kids can practice math while grocery shopping, riding in the car, or walking along a sidewalk. Give your child a calculator to play with in the car. Your child will love the novelty and can practice adding or subtracting without thinking it is work. Playing family games can enhance your child's listening and following directions skill. Learning can be fun.
Encourage your child to write to me over the summer months and I will write back. Make sure to include a return address if sent through the mail. My address and email address are in your child's memory book.
Have a safe, enjoyable summer and I will see many of you in the fall.
