SNOW SUMMER CHALLENGE!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Snow Families,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child had a great school year and has learned so much!\u00a0 We do not want the summer slide<\/strong> to occur as we want your child to start off strong next year!\u00a0 Reading and math skills can be practiced on iREADY and Zearn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE SNOW SUMMER CHALLENGE-\u00a0 1 hour on I-Ready per week and 1 hour on Zearn per week.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>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! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Belongings<\/strong>: If you were not able to pick up your child’s desk belongings last week, please call the office to make an appointment. 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos of students who have begun their summer adventures!<\/strong> 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
