It has been a wonderful semester! As you prepare for the holidays, consider the following ideas for continuing learning at home, or on the road as you travel!
Reading: Please read every day! You may choose to join the "LS Reads" initiative by reading Flora & Ulysses, which is available for free on Tumblebooks.com (Username: Graded, password: books) We've enjoyed reading Chapter 1 in class together! This is a fun book for you to continue to read as a family together.
If you need some book recommendations while on break, here is a great recommended book list. Don't forget to log-in to Raz-kids.com to read loads of "just right books".
Writing: Please continue to practice your writing over the summer holiday. Here are some recommendations of what you and your child can do over break:
- Keep a journal sharing about your most memorable holiday experiences (pictures are also encouraged).
- For those traveling: write post cards to grandparents, and even back to school, sharing a highlight of your trip.
- Help with meals by writing the grocery list.
Math: Students may work on Mathletics.com. They should practice their math skills 2-4 times per week during the holidays. A couple of areas in math to review:
- Continue practicing addition and subtraction facts to 10
- It is important for Math to come alive in everyday situations. Please refer to this site for ideas on how to make mathematical thinking visible to your child.

The First Grade Teachers
