Please practice counting with money ( pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters at home. We also are learning about telling time so if you can find a clock that is not digital, please practice that with your child as well. We have talked about telling time by the hour and the half-hour as well as to count by fives for each number on the clock. Take any random opportunity to help your child get confidence with both of these areas at home. Thanks!
Summer practice- First graders who don’t use what they have learned during the year may forget a lot over the summer. Please urge your child to keep reading each day over the vacation. They can also write a sentence or two in a journal. I have two great activity books that are from Scholastic that have an assortment of things to keep their minds active. I bought them at Costco last June and I think that some Costco’s still carry them. I will send the titles home so you can see them. They contain a little bit of everything and I really like them for keeping up their skills.
