The school year has ended and it's time for summer! Your child learned so much this year and we really appreciated the support of our first grade families.
     Research shows that the newly acquired skills first graders learn can be forgotten over the summer without reinforcement. It is our hope that you encourage your child to read, write, and work on math throughout the summer--have some fun with it!  It's also equally important for your child to get outside and play every day!!
     In first grade we talked a lot about being grateful--for the big things and the little ones. We are truly grateful to have spent this year with your child. They will always hold a special place in our hearts!
