iReady Classroom Party
Fireman's Park
Wednesday, June 10th, is our “walking field trip” to Fireman's Park.
First graders need to:
-wear gym/tennis shoes to school,
-apply sunscreen before school,
-pack a snack,
-pack plenty of water (one LARGE LABELED water bottle), and
*optional: pack a small towel to sit on at the park, or
*optional: pack an outdoor toy (i.e. bubbles, Frisbee, ball, etc.) to play with at the park.
First graders will be responsible for carrying their own snack, water, towel, and equipment. Please make sure it all fits in a small backpack/drawstring bag.
Read Every Day this Summer!
One of the best ways to help your child continue growing as a reader over the summer is to read for 10–20 minutes each day. Regular reading helps children maintain the skills they worked so hard to build during the school year and can prevent the "summer slide," which is the loss of academic skills during a long break from school.
Encourage your child to read books they enjoy, listen to stories online, visit the library, or read together as a family. Most importantly, make reading a fun and positive part of your daily routine. Just a few minutes each day can make a big difference and help your child return to school confident and ready to learn in second grade!
Keep the Math Momentum Going this Summer!
As we head into the break, we want to help our students stay sharp and confident for the fall. To make summer learning easy and effective, we have pre-programmed all student Zearn accounts with specific missions designed to boost the essential skills they’ll need for the upcoming school year. You can find additional information here. A copy with your child's login information will be sent home the last week of school.
How it Works:
Targeted Practice: These lessons focus on the "big ideas" of their next grade level, giving them a head start before day one.
Just 15–20 Minutes: A little bit of consistent practice goes a long way in preventing the "summer slide."
Login & Go: Students can simply log in with their usual credentials and pick up right where the summer missions begin.
By spending just a few minutes a week on Zearn, your child can keep their "math brain" active while still enjoying plenty of summer fun. Thank you for partnering with us to set them up for success!
