Upcoming Events
·      Thursday, June 19th – Dismissal at 11:35 - Last Day of School

Hello Families!

We have been busy these last few days of school. We visited two third grade Wax Museums to learn about important people who have lived. The third graders dressed as their character and told about the significant events in their lives. 










Keep on Reading!
All of the children in our class have made great progress this year in reading.  To get ready for second grade and to keep their brain sharp, have your child keep reading and writing! Below is a list of suggestions to practice.

·      Read everything! Signs, food boxes, magazines, etc.
·      Write me a letter! I promise to write back
·      Keep a few books in the car
·      Make a set time to read aloud to your child – even if it’s just 5 minutes!
·      Make a set time for your child to read quietly to themselves
·      Make a set time for your child to visit www.starfall.com
·      Play reading games like hangman or brain quest
·      Listen to stories online at www.storylineonline.net





Thank you
Thank you for sharing your child with me this year. I have looked forward to working with them each and every day and am truly amazed at the progress they each made both socially and academically.  I’d say we all had a successful year in first grade!

Have a great summer! 

Ms. Little
