FINAL DAYS OF SCHOOL
Oh my, is this really the end of a wonderful school year?
Can’t believe it! I have enjoyed this bunch of
little people so very much. They have been a lot of
fun…sweet, thoughtful, hard working, happy,
conscientious; I really could go on and on. They
have worked with me to build another part of their
foundation in reading, math, grammar, spelling and
religion.
I commend you on your support and guidance that you have
pursued through the school year with your child. I
laid the ground work, the review and drill for
mastery in skills and you have helped reinforce
these skills with me at home. I am grateful for
that.
Now as we go into the well earned weeks of summer, days of
relaxing, taking vacations etc. I urge you to insure
a daily routine of having your child read.
Many of the kids have developed the love of
independently diving into a chapter book and story
books. That thrills me and I don’t want that to
diminish.
I also urge the consistent drill of math facts (their recall
is awesome now) but will be lost without that
reinforcement. You could add facts for 13, 14 etc.
(addition/subtraction) to their challenge too. You
will be that much ahead for Mrs. Scannell. Please
include money counting, telling time and 2digit
adding & subtracting (no carrying over). Google can
become your best friend in reinforcing concepts with
your child. Use Google by typing in key words such
as; interactive math games for 1st grade,
online games for 1st grade etc.
Again, thank you so much for letting me become a part of your
child’s development. I will truly miss them and
enjoyed each and every one of them.
Enjoy your summer with each other and be safe. See you back in
the Fall and come by and visit me.
Mrs. Kuebel
