Dear Kindergarten
Families,
This past year, we have worked
hard and participated in many fun and exciting activities. Not only have we developed skills needed for the First Grade, but we have also made new friends
along the way. We
are excited to pass along such a wonderful group of students to the First
Grade, yet we will miss our students tremendously.
Every one of our students
has brought exuberance and joy to the classroom. Throughout the year, they have
touched our lives and this school year in
positive and rewarding ways.
Over the summer vacation,
we strongly encourage students to read and be read to every day, practice
handwriting and counting—both orally
and in writing, math facts, review sight words, write in a journal, and practice
IXL and LEXIA. Doing one or two of these activities each day over the summer
vacation will help to keep your child’s skills sharp.
As your child moves from
Kindergarten to First grade, there are some very important things you can do to
help them get ready. Help your child develop a habit of solving problems
independently. Practice ways to get organized and stay organized. These little
things will lead to big successes next year.
Your child’s Student Learning Plan (SLP), beginning of the year, and end
of year writing samples were sent home this week. The SLP displays whether or
not your child met their spring goal in math and reading. Progress reports can
be accessed via Infinite Campus at our school’s website. Please take time to
review these and we encourage you to contact your child’s teacher with any
questions or concerns about your child’s progress..
It has been our pleasure getting to know not only your child, but you as well. Having parental support has been an essential part of making this school year a success. Thank you for all you have done to make your child’s kindergarten year so fulfilling and memorable.
Again, thank you for a wonderful year. Have a fantastic summer!
