It’s hard to believe that our school year is coming to a close and our now Kindergartners are preparing for first grade. The friends they have made, the lessons that were learned, the times that we’ve shared will always hold a special place in their hearts.
As we wind down the school year let’s not forget everything that they have worked so hard to learn! Here are a few things that you can do to keep their minds sharp, and energy running high.
Reading to your children or having them read to you at least 20 minutes a day will keep their reading skills sharp. Review sight words learned throughout the year as well as the letter books. When you’re out and about play games with your children to see how many different signs they can read to you. Have them direct you to your house by using directional words such as left and right.
Have fun practicing math skills. There are so many things you can do with numbers. Play memory with numbers to 100. When you go to the store have your child count your change; if they get it right, they get to put it in their piggybank. Playing board games such as Trouble and Hi-Ho Cherrio with the entire family can be fun and educational.
If you are planning a vacation, have your children keep a photo/writing journal of their trip. It would be great to share with their classmates in September!
We wish you and your family a safe and happy summer! We look forward to your return in September.
Regards,
Teacher Annie
