Keep the learning going over summer break!
June 5, 2020
Last day of school work!
I enjoyed getting to know each one of you and wish you a happy and healthy future!
Please reference the How-to Video tab for help promoting learning at home. There are also several videos and resources posted from our “remote learning” months at home. These resources and videos will help the children keep their skills up over the summer.
Reading & Writing
Please continue to read with your child each night. Below are a few questions to ask your child to promote comprehension after reading each story:
- What was your favorite part of the story? Why?
- Did this story make you think of anything in your life?
- Retell the story. What happened in the beginning, middle, and end of the story?
Practice reading and writing the list of spelling words from the year. Here is a list of words for your child to practice:
Fun ways to work on spelling these words are as follows:
- Cut letters out of magazines and glue them on a piece of paper to make the word
- Rainbow writing (using a different color to write each letter of the word)
- Make the letters with Play Doh
- Buy a beach ball and write the words on the ball – then play catch and whatever word your child’s thumb lands on is the word they have to read and spell
Math
- Work on the addition and subtraction. For support teaching math at home you can reference my how-to video: https://youtu.be/OhN7dhMTm7k
- Review money. Have your child tell you the name of each coin and how much it is worth. Here is a video which will help with money: Coin Song
- Talk about telling time. Here is a video to help with this: Telling Time

Continue using Raz-kids, Mathseeds, and Readingeggs during the summer. This will help to keep learning going!
