Reading
We have finished up our final book club books for the school year.  We worked on these new levels for 3 weeks and the students began to really understand their levels.  Comprehension is one of the keys to reading and we worked hard at understanding our books.  Keep reading this summer to maintain your child’s level.



Math
We have finished up our math for the year.  We worked very hard all year to understand a wide variety of concepts.  These past weeks we worked on money!  This can be a difficult unit but we worked very hard!  We learned the names of the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter.  Then we spent time learning how much they are worth.  We even did a little counting of money.  Please continue to work on this at home over the summer.  They had a great time doing this and cannot wait to show you their ability.  Keep up all the hard work this summer!
