The school year is over, and we have made so many memories together.  We have worked hard, learned a lot, and had many fun (and funny) moments.  Thank you for sharing this great group of kids with us, and we look forward with anticipation to our new group in the fall!

Math:

Some summer ideas for you:  Just for fun, make up a math game this month with your child using fractions, decimals, and measurement.  What about using percents to figure out sale prices?  Can they help you in the kitchen by doubling fractions and mixed numbers in recipes?  Check to see that they still remember all of those skills. 

Language Arts:  

Remember the importance of vocabulary development in helping with reading comprehension.  Summer is the perfect time for kids to learn new words, whether relating to a vacation, home improvement activity, or simply from a PSAT study guide.  Then, have your child search for new vocabulary words in books he or she is reading,.  It’s always fun to go on a new word treasure hunt! 

It’s also important to continue encouraging your child to read for 20-30 minutes a day, even though it’s summer time.  He or she might have a “book club” with a friend, read books for a library contest, or select books relating to a place your family is visiting.  Local libraries and book stores are always happy to make great recommendations!
