We have a wonderful Summer Reading Program that will be going on at our own White Oak Community Library! Please see previous post for information.
A good start to knowing their level is to ask the librarian for A.R. leveled books 1.0 to 1.9. These are first grade levels, but many of the students are reading above that. You may want to ask for books from a range of 1.0 to 2.5.
Let them go on an adventure with a book this summer!

We have been using a web-based program called XtraMath to increase speed and accuracy in arithmetic. Your child is invited to continue using XtraMath over the summer break to maintain and improve their skills for next year. If you don’t have Internet at home I can suggest alternative activities which are also effective.
Flashcards! Working with at home manipulatives like dry beans or pennies to build adding a subtracting practice! Drawing a picture and creating a math story problem to go with it!
Go to www.xtramath.org and watch the short “Overview” and “Getting Started” videos.
Click Enroll. You will be asked for a student enrollment code. I will send this home in report card!
After this quick process, your child will be able to do XtraMath from home. . This will ensure that existing accounts are linked to my classroom.
Thank you!

Dear Parents,
Our students participated in Wee Deliver this year. It is a Primary School wide mailing system with real (2nd Grade) postmen. We learned to write friendly letters and address them to our friends. They were placed in a big mailbox and then delivered to our classroom mailboxes each day. This was a fun and purposeful way for our students to practice their writing skills. To be sure their message was understood they had to be diligent with using good penmanship, editing, and revising their letter. I thought the fun could continue this summer. I have attached (in report card) a list of their classmates party invite addresses from this year. I am sure your student would have fun writing a few letters to their friends over the summer and a whole lot of fun receiving one back from a friend. Encourage their writing over the summer by sending a friendly letter to a friend!
Thanks for all of your support this year to help see your little one bloom!
First Grade Teacher,
Mrs. Barlow
