End of the Year First Grade News
It’s been a GREAT year and I cannot believe it's already over! We have worked hard and learned so much. I have enjoyed each of your children and I thank you for sharing them with me.
During the summer it is important not to lose the skills your children have learned this year.
Here are a few activities to help keep those skills fresh and still have a little fun this summer:
Practice word lists and sight words
Read a book to yourself, a friend, your mom or dad or younger brother and sister
Have someone read to you
Keep a journal of all your summer activities
Get a library card
Start a collection
Write a letter to Grandma or Grandpa
Write your own comic strip
Retell your favorite story to someone
Play “20 questions”
Graph the weather
Make a pattern with your Fruit Loops
Use estimating to guess the weight of your pet, little brother, a cup, and your shoes
Tell your parents when it is a certain time – say, “it’s 12:00”; not “time for lunch”
Count the change in your pocket, your dad’s pocket (yes, you have to give it back)
Here are a few activities for you parents, just so you won’t feel left out:
Give your child a hug
Say ”I love you”
Praise your child Talk to your child
Read and write with your child
Count with your child
Share news with your child
Listen to your child Listen to your child read…Isn’t it amazing?!
