THE IMPORTANCE OF SUMMER READING
By having your child continue reading throughout the summer, you will help develop life-long reading habits and also help maintain literacy skills that have been taught during the school year. There are many ways you can help your child continue the reading habit during the summer months.
• Let your child choose the books to read. Encourage a variety of genres (fiction, biographies, science, history, etc.)
• Visit the public library-it’s free and has many summer programs available for children.
Many of the books may be housed in the Y Reader Collection in the Public Library.
• Read to your child. Sit next to them so they can see the pictures in the book too.
• While talking with your child, introduce higher level words to help build your child’s vocabulary.
Have a great Summer! Happy Reading!

First Grade Here We Come!
Last Week of School!
We want our last week of Kindergarten to be memorable! So, each day, we will have something fun going on.
Check it out…
Monday, June 7th: Field Day and Awards
We will participate in a Field Day in the morning. We will wear our red Field Trip t-shirts. Please make sure you child wear sneakers for this fun event. At 2:00, we will have our final awards ceremony for the year. This is a day you don’t want to miss!
Tuesday, June 8th: Movie Day
Bring your favorite G Rated movie to school to share. We will watch some of the movies throughout the day.
Wednesday, June 9th: Game Day
Bring your favorite card or board game to school. Please make sure it is a game you know how to play so that you can teach it to your friends. Make sure the game is labeled with your name and place any loose pieces in a bag.
Thursday, June 10th: Favorite Music Day
Today we will be cleaning our classroom and preparing for next year. You may also bring in your favorite CD and we will listen to some of your favorite songs as we clean up.
Friday, June 11th: Last Day!
Please make sure that your child brings their folder and backpacks on this day. They may have a few things to bring home.
Report cards will not be handed to students; they must be placed in their folders. Also if you owe pictures or money to the school, and or your child will be absent you will have to go to the front office to pick up your child’s report card.
Thank you for a great year!
