We made it through our First Grade Adventure! It was a short but wonderful year full of surprises and excitement! I enjoyed working with all of my students and their families. I wish you all the best!
SNOW SUMMER CHALLENGE!!
Dear Snow Families,
According to Johns Hopkins University, the effects of summer learning loss (summer slide) can result in nearly a three-month loss in grade-level equivalency in math and a two-month loss in reading.
Your child had a great school year and has learned so much! We do not want the summer slide to occur as we want your child to start off strong next year! Reading and math skills can be practiced on iREADY and Zearn.
THE SNOW SUMMER CHALLENGE- 1 hour on I-Ready per week and 1 hour on Zearn per week. This is a school recommendation, not an assignment from me. I will not be monitoring this during the summer. Please continue to encourage your child to read, write and practice their math skills this summer!

The engineers will bring your bag of “stuff” out to your car at your scheduled time. You can also email or call/text me too. We will do our best to make sure all of our student’s treasures are distributed by the last day of school on Thursday.
Photos of students who have begun their summer adventures! Send me a photo with your safari hat and giraffe (in your bag of “stuff”) and I will post it during the week. Then I know that you received it.
I hope all of my families will have an enjoyable and safe summer break. I hope your voyage in First Grade was as exciting as mine! We can all can use this summer to recharge and get ready for our next voyage in the fall!
Your captain,
Mrs. Slater
