As summer is right around the corner, I want to take this opportunity to thank you! It has been a pleasure working with your children this year and I have valued the partnerships we have built. I am so proud of the gains your children have made and can't wait to continue watching them grow. It will be difficult to say good-bye as your child's first grade teacher, but I can't wait to see them walking down the same hallways as big second graders next year! I am confident that their transition into second grade will be a smooth one.
Please try to help your child maintain their growth by reading a TON over the summer! I've attached some summer reading lists under the "Helpful Information" tab for your convenience. The public library is a great place to explore over the summer! :) Also, please look for an informational letter coming home this week encouraging your child to use online resources like MobyMax for math and Tumblebooks for reading. The passwords will be on the letter and are of no cost to you! We've loved using both of those resources often this year.
We're spending our last week participating in fun activities and enjoying the positive learning community we've worked hard to create. I feel so lucky that you have shared your children with me this year and I thank you for your support. I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing summer!
Respectfully,
Liz Housman
