Happy Summer!
I wish to thank all the parents for their generosity and support this past year. The students have worked hard and are ready for second grade. To make the transition easier, please have the students read and practice math facts throughout the summer to maintain skills. Local libraries have great reading programs and borrowing the books are free. Lexia Core 5 will be available for use throughout the summer months to continue to build reading skills as well as review and keep skills up to date. Please take the opportunity to spend time with your children. They are eager to learn and parents are the best teachers. Have a great summer vacation!
