| 6-5-09 I really enjoyed my year with the 2008-2009 Kindergarten class. They are a wonderful group of children and I will miss them. I hope all of you have a safe and enjoyable summer.
Below I have information for students who are moving on to first grade and for students who are entering Kindergarten in August, 2009.
If your child is advancing to first grade and would like to keep up with Reading and Math skills, here are a few books I recommend which can be found at Target, Wal-Mart, or office supple stores.
SCHOOL ZONE-- Math Basics Grade 1 (most students started this in class and should have a copy)
Time, Money & Fractions Grade 1&2; Spelling Puzzles Grade 1
AMERICAN EDUCATION PUBLISHING-- Everything for Early Learning Grade 1 (Grade K book has some very good stuff too)
LEARNING HORIZONS--Ultimate Skill Builders Grade 1
Letting your child read to you and you reading to your child is very important also. Occassionally, ask comprehension questions or questions that would require predictions.
If your child is beginning Kindergarten in August 2009, here are a few things that your child could work on.
Capital and lower case letter recognition, recognizing, counting and ordering numbers 1-10, comparing size of groups of objects, patterns, grouping objects by size, shape, color, or other characteristic. Also work on printing their first name.
